How easily you make a conclusion without even knowing what QFR is.
QFR = Questions from Readers. You know that column in the frickin WATCHTOWER MAGAZINE? The same publication that is supposed to dispense holy wisdom from Jehovah? Certainly THAT doesn't reflect the thought of the WTS, does it.
Ok then post a scan of what you said so I can read it for myself.......
t.f.d.s.
HEY!!!!
dressing in drag is WAY OFF TOPIC
plus as an ally for the queer community
of which my transgender son is a member
i find the bandying about of the term as
an insult to be highly offensive....
back to the topic: yes, WTS is a cult
<--------------steps in the room, reads a few posts...steps back out again...
not wasting my time with wacko trolls today...
No, humans are to say. The same humans that invented the word "cult" and its corresponding definition.
Now, if you want to say that God wants such a religion, and those tactics to be used to control his "followers", then fine. That's a different argument. And more evidence that the God of the bible is one nasty mofo.
GOD knows everything even before we can think it or make it up. I am not saying that GOD has authorized all religions upon this planet earth and HE has NOT. HE will only authorize complete TRUTH. GOD of the bible did what HE did out of necessitie and in response to what HIS creations did. HE has never acted with anger or unlawfully on HIS own. HE in fact is very loving and kind beyond anyones comprehension. I am by no means saying that what I have experienced is easy. In fact it is extremely difficult. I have to know what all those in the heavens are learning and witnessing. The apostles have never seen a nuclear detonation, nor even the war planes and crafts or anything in the different time period. They have now and know what I know about the wickedness in our day.....

Here are some opinions on why some people consider JWs to be a cult or not.

Point of the matter is that J.W.'s or the W.T.S. is not a cult because they are based upon bible-based teachings plain and simple.......

Well, SOM, here's what simple: we disagree with you and we've clearly shown why.
Chickpea, the reason why the dressing in drag comment was brought up is because SOM claims to be the Son of Man, and The Faithful Slave. He said what was said about him was untrue however as God's voice, he shouldn't lie about his background as there's plenty of proof over the years as to what he has said.

Gee, that's what every cult member thinks of their cult organization. Do you think anyone thinks the religion they are involved with does not follow the bible?
Again, you aren't comprehending what makes a dangerous cult a dangerous cult. Not surprised though; cult members never really recognize that they are involved with a cult until they actually mentally break free.
What makes a dangerous cult a dangerous cult is the control placed on the followers and the removal of individuality. Even the WTS brags about their "unity." Sure, they are united! But not because of anything so holy as God's blessing. It's because all differing thought is suppressed. When there is a change in thought (eg, "new light") all members are expected to instantly change to the new thinking. Anyone trying to have a different thought will be expelled and face shunning by friends and family. Now the "unity" doesn't sound so amazing, does it.
