This is too funny, someone who is a former member of my old cult came our facebook page and talked about two witnesses coming to her door today.

Jocelyn Zichterman Oh, the irony. I know we are not supposed to talk about other groups here, but just real quick: Two JW's just showed up at my door--haven't had this happen in a while. I very strongly told them they were in a cult. They argued with me for a long while.

- Jocelyn Zichterman I finally said, "Hey, listen ladies, nothing you say can pursued me. I was just on the phone for over an hour yesterday with one of the ex-JW women working to expose the JW's on an even larger national scale--as a cult. Go look up 'JW Cult' ... on youtube. Really. Maybe you will be able to see some light."
They kept arguing--and I finally just said, "What if I joined your religion, then decided after a time that I wanted to convert to being a Baptist--would that be OK"? And what did they say back? "Well, if you really want to be right with God, you wouldn't leave." HAHAHA!
I just said: "Sorry guys. Been there, done that. Ain't going there again. But if you see one of your ex-JW 'apostates' doing some work together with a woman from an 'unknown IFB cult,' you know who I am now. Have a nice day!" LOL!!

Rhonda Lundquist One of my dear friends passed away a few years back. his parents have sort of clung to my husband and myself since. They are JW and everytime we see them, they try to "convert" us, I don't know how to politly tell them, "I have been there, done that" in IFB and do not want to be a part of another Cult!! I just listen to their speel and hope it's over soon. I wish I could just tell them what I really think!!!

- Jocelyn Zichterman I couldn't believe how many phrases were the exact same. I said, "You know honestly, I could record you both right now and put this on the internet and all the IFB cult survivors would think you were IFB. That's how much you all sound alike."

- MarkAmy Zumach Yep. There is a lady where I work ( I work in an assisted living facility for the elderly) and there is this one lady EVERY ONE of the other tenants there hate because she is always giving them tracts and trying to convert them. She wears dresses all the time and never socializes with anyone. I thought for sure she must be IFB. Nope. JW. She gave me a tract and a sympathetic look one day. BLECH!

- Fran Earle Years ago when I left the Catholic church, I met the mother of a good friend who was a die hard Catholic and she said to me"you KNOW you are going to hell because you are no longer going to THE church!" I looked at this woman I loved and a ... dmired and said "I no longer believe that, and I love you and respect you, so we should stop talking about this before this ends badly because I value your friendship!" END of discussion and she never brought it up again. I think you need to be blunt with these good folks as it appears that is all that is going to work. Good luck.

- Tammy Montgomery Moyer I can't wait til they show up here again. it is about time for them. I had a sweet elderly lady one time and I did tell her she was in a cult but she was very kind to me. I really felt bad for her but I should have felt bad for my own fa ... mily, I was in one too. I can tell them they are in a cult and I know how easy it is to be fooled, I was in for almost 10 years, not to mention the other ones that weren't IFB by name but by spirit they were See More April 28 at 3:18pm · Like Unlike · 1 person Loading...

- Cathleen Walker Lets just face the facts here. ALL FORMS of religion from Chritianity to Islam to Buddist to ALL are cults. Its a form of control, dictatorship. claiming some god or gods talked to them and made a decree.

- MarkAmy Zumach I think pretty much any organized religion can end up being of the cult mentality that we are all referring to here with the IFB cult. Anytime common sense is continually shot down and you are left with the "this is not right" feeling, but you keep it quiet because you have been brainwashed to believe that it is right even when you KNOW it is not, then my friend, you are in a cult.

- Casey Kreyling I can tell that you have not looked up the" dictionary" definition of Cult or Sect. While you are there look up belief, faith, hope, worship, and enlightenment. It was knowledge that gave me the power to overcome any one belief system. I ha ... ve taken the bait,hook, line, and sinker and have been wrapped around the anchor chain more than once. If any ONE could PROVE To EVERYONE how to get out of here alive. Then we would all be superheros. It is BLIND faith that keeps us in the dark and allows this kind of perverse behavior to continue.Just keep asking yourself am I a sheep or a sheperd. See More 58 minutes ago · Like Unlike
