    Does it require the use of the word “cult”? Or the simple equation of libratarian/conservative views to JWS?

    Note: I see he didn’t explicitly say that, but implied it. (The old - they just left JWs and come here and get XYZ)

    After consultation with the morphs law comittee, a ruling was issued that reflected your remark above. It was close, but not quite enough for a morphs law declaration.

    I will abide by the committee’s decree, of course. Let’s see where the thread goes.

    Great thoughts from everyone. I believe in overlapping made the most interesting point, that we shouldn't baby new ex-JWs especially the young ones like himself. He wouldn't think about any of these political subjects without heated debates and name-calling to attract his attention. He would just stay ignorant.

    Group hug?

    You need to work on your self-esteem, pal. I don't think you're an unreasoning politically charged loudmouth -- yet.

    Why not name names and/or ideologies that you find especially threatening to your delicate world view?

    I find one and all "archs" (monarchs, oligarchs, etc.) to be suspect and believe I'm currently suffering from a "crisis of confidence" in any so called leaders in society. I think it's due to mega MAGA-PTSD syndrome.
