I think I have used a "c-word" about an elder and a C.O., but not to their faces.
I read the two Steve Hassan books (COMBATTING CULT MIND CONTROL and RELEASING THE BONDS) in front of my wife and some of her JW friends. When asked why I would read something like that, I said "Why do you ask?" It shut them down.

I did once, I called up an elder and left a message on his machine, told hom that the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society was a cult and hung up. He called me up and dsaid he didn't appreciate me leaving those messages on his machine. yet he never did anything about it. Years later I was told he was DF'd.

Sort of, in front of my brother who is an elder. I said, you would think we're in a cult or something with all the secretive information. This was even before I thought it was a cult. It's a long story. But, I get sick of the information control. That certain information is only for a select few to know, before they let the rest of us in on the big secret, that wasn't really a secret or a big deal after all.

No. I did say "Christ" one too many times for their liking.

No- but I have stated the witnesses are a cult to my JW nephew ( 30 yrs.old ) whose dad is my older elder ex-Bethel elder. But I have a good communication pattern with my nephew as he has not attended meetings for over a year now. We keep our conversations confidential from his elder dad. Lots of trust there in the relationship.
I'm afraid if a person used the word " cult " referring to JW's as such in front of an elder it won't be too well received . But in the end- who really cares what the control freak elders think anymore anyway ? LOL ! Peace out, Mr. Flipper

No, but I have used the A word, I told the elders that I believe that the JW's are an apostate religion.

No, but I do slip "culture" into my conversations with them now. Hoping it might resonate.
