  Subtle Control Methods

  by James2300 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  there have been a few threads on the subject of whether witnesses are a high control group or a cult.

  some of the more overt methods of control have been mentioned, such as direct statements in the watchtower, the practice of disfellowshipping, the power elders have, and so on.

  the results of these control techniques have also been mentioned; for example, many mention the intimidation, humiliation, fear, and powerlessness they felt either as a witness or while trying to leave.
