What religions/organizations aren't a cult?
by Jules Saturn inso we've already established that most religions can be classified as high control groups, we can name the wbts, church of scientology, lds, etc.
the list goes on and on.
but are there any religions or organizations that aren't classified as a high control group or aren't as bad as the ones i've just mentioned?

This convention talk offended me
by Isambard Crater inhere are my notes from the r.c yesterday, the talk called "jehovah – the greatest example of endurance".
many of you will understand why i found it offensive.. jehovah has taken the hard option of choosing to endure:.
reproach to his holy name.

O how terrible it must feel for imaginary corporate egotistical narcissistic Jehovah to endure for so long these dreamed up hardships
Talk about a hideous example of psychological projections by the GB, this is one a Jungian psychologist could have a field day with. It think we can say this gives us a deep look in side the psyche of the GB collective and reveals some very dark secrets about the mental condition(problems), they are battling with there at the top rung of the Jehovah's organization ladder.
They speak their own psychological projections and hang it on Jehovah the corporation mascot. This is an organization that is deep trouble based on wishful thinking and delusion, because they actually believe their own bull shit. AM#3 knows exactly how Jehovah's feels on any subject even something as mundane as clothing styles.
Any Jungians out there that would like to interpret these collective projections on Jehovah?

Before I left I said this in a WT answer
by Chook inthis when i believed, i said no one really believes armageddon is imminent because we would sell our possessions and preach the remaining short time , i said we all like a each way bet.
i was always a loose canon with the microphone.
i once said if bible was in movie form jws would be forbidden to watch..

About 4or 5 years before I left I was contradicting the WT Society's statements while answering at the meeting and giving talks as an elder, I got so uncomfortable that I removed myself from being an elder even though the CO tried to get me to stay on as one. It took a few more years after that of listening to their bull shit that I stopped going to meetings and with in a year I was no longer a believer(2001 February).
That was a real struggle for me to break free of this utter infantile bull shit.

Making Every Thought Captive To Christ(Washing the Brain Of Good Reasoning)
by Brokeback Watchtower innot a very good idea to say the least.
when i read paul's words the more i see how delusional the guy was.
he was a genuine religious fanatic who contradicts jesus words on the sermon on the mount.. 2 corinthians 10:5 5we demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of god, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to christ.. delusional and in need of some serious psychological help.

2 Corinthians 12New International Version (NIV)
Paul’s Vision and His Thorn
12 I must go on boasting. Although there is nothing to be gained, I will go on to visions and revelations from the Lord. 2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know—God knows. 3 And I know that this man—whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, but God knows— 4 was caught up to paradise and heard inexpressible things, things that no one is permitted to tell. 5 I will boast about a man like that, but I will not boast about myself, except about my weaknesses. 6 Even if I should choose to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be speaking the truth. But I refrain, so no one will think more of me than is warranted by what I do or say, 7 or because of these surpassingly great revelations.
Paul vision on the road to hunt down more followers of Christ, and other heavenly visions was probably cause by temporal lobe epilepsy. Also notice Paul mock humility which he fools himself and others who accept his offered credentials.
Paul's temporal lobe epilepsy explained:

I have no firm beliefs but I trust science to give me answers. I have a niggling suspicion we might be all in a computer simulation but no beliefs in such.
I don't see any advantage to really believe what people say about their imaginary deity friend.

Paul definitely was a religious fanatic and it seemed to me he thought a little too much of himself and a very warp sense of his birth right:
2Cor. 11
16 I repeat: Let no one take me for a fool. But if you do, then tolerate me just as you would a fool, so that I may do a little boasting. 17 In this self-confident boasting I am not talking as the Lord would, but as a fool. 18 Since many are boasting in the way the world does, I too will boast. 19 You gladly put up with fools since you are so wise! 20 In fact, you even put up with anyone who enslaves you or exploits you or takes advantage of you or puts on airs or slaps you in the face. 21 To my shame I admit that we were too weak for that!
Whatever anyone else dares to boast about—I am speaking as a fool—I also dare to boast about. 22 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they Abraham’s descendants? So am I. 23 Are they servants of Christ? (I am out of my mind to talk like this.) I am more. I have worked much harder, been in prison more frequently, been flogged more severely, and been exposed to death again and again.

Suing The Watchtower Corporation For Pain And Suffering Caused By Clandestine Trial Of Corporatly Biased Impartial Judges (A Real Ordeal)
by Brokeback Watchtower ini mean they routinely question the "invited" guest of dishonor to their proceedings: if they have any prohibited recording devices and won't allow any witnesses to be present.
this is cruelly horrible treatment of a human being,, i say this can be a slam dunk in the courts.
maybe not millions but definitely some nice returns for the person and his lawyer.

I'm mean it sounds so hideous there has got some kind of lawsuit to beat these suckers back on their secret trial bull shit.
And news worthy too when and if it happens.
