what is a cult and what is a religion?
its open to debate.
who has the authority to say for certain what is a cult and what is a religion?
Agreeing to abide by the rules of a sport and regulating your lifestyle to maximise your physical fitness is not cultish. - Cofty
The premier league in the UK is most definitely a cult.The supporters are affected by the BITE model.
Football fans cannot think for themselves, pick their own clothes, and all behave in a frenzy if the ball is close to the goal. They are controlled.

because she would not show him her puppies.. nobody has to tell you what country this happened in, you already know.. source.
I don't know what the solution is. But I feel licensed gun owners are irresponsible is some cases and should be fined or charged and held accountable if their gun is not locked in a safe place when not in use.
But lots of gun crime occurs when it's the case of an illegal weapon too.
Is a gun ban really practical and how will it be policed and enforced?
Very disturbing news

my parents were always of the belief that, "the end is right around the corner".. i was a zealous kid, with a learning disorder, so my parents never gave me a hard time or pushed me in regards to my education.. this not only hurt me, but, pissed me off insanely.
fast forward to me having my own kid.
ava is not doing well in school.
It's nice to see that you're concerned as to whether or not you strike the right balance.
Like most have said take your cues from your daughter. If she wants to study extra to keep up then support her. If she is happy being below average then support her with other interests and find her natural abilities.
A happy child is a healthy child.

when i joined this forum i was seeking more people who felt the same way i did in terms of seeing the jehovah's witness organization for what it truly was; a false prophet.. once i found like-minded members i slowly started to open up and participate more in trying to help others that were also exiting mentally and physically.
today, i offer support to anyone who desires it regardless of what they believe or not believe.. so what is your purpose on this board?.
support?
I am here for three reasons, get support, give support, and keep up to date with changes.

looking for a way to stick two fingers up to the watchtower and do something useful?.
well, ever considered giving blood?
if you're eligible to do so i would encourage everyone here to go for it, the world needs more blood donors, it's always nice to help out and given our history i find there's something very enjoyable about it.
Hey Laika,
Good to see your here again. Good advice I might find out about it and see if I am eligible.

none of my jehovah's witness relatives called to tell me or my family.
just found out this morning.
Ohh Wow Perry,
I am so sorry no one told you. It's so terrible.
Take care

weird/odd question, but with our family fading, and our daughter in school how or should one approach teachers with this?
our child is a little too young to understand why we are fading, but it proves challenging in school as they have been, well brainwashed, to say i shouldn't do that etc... .
i don't like explaining anything to teachers about the fade, etc.
I don't like explaining anything to teachers about the fade, etc. as they could very well have friends that could report back to the cult center. - elderINewton
This is the biggest problem of a cult and it also helps identify one. If a child has cult friends that would report back for being involved in Halloween and Christmas activities. You need to make a decision to break or fake. You need to decide what is in the best interests of your whole family including your child.
This is a very serious life changing decision. Think carefully.
Take care

i'm quite new to this site, & have realised some members have a union jack symbol under their avatar.

i've already found several by reading older posts..
Hey will-be-apostate

been reading for about 2 and a half years, thought i would take the plunge and sign up.. my circumstances... i live in uk, serving as ms. i am fully awake.
i can not leave due to family, so just treating the meetings as a bit of a social club.
i would like to give out more details, but i think you all know the drill.. complete disillusionment and i suppose natural curiosity woke me up.. don't know what else to say right now, just hello, and i hope to get to know some of you guys better.
Welcome Old Major,
I too am from the UK. Liverpool. Enjoy your time here

at my mom's bed side all i see is either jw family or friends making a concerted effort to have me return to their fold.
evidentlyy, my mom has encouraged this and i'm a trapped prisoner, as they do their best to have me come back.
it's bad enough that i have to endure my mom's dying, now i have to be bombarded with this bs..
Sorry Min, to hear you're going through the love bombing right now. Hope you can get through it. Take care.
