  jehovah's witnesses certainly have some unique beliefs and some are very, very confusing.

  anything that you never quite understood?

  being a jw kid was pretty confusing, most confusing of all was jw mathematics, why when we used to have 3 meetings a week (tuesday, thursday & sunday) they insisted on saying we had 5 just because some were twice as long and had an extra song.

  JW's, Religion, Cult, Religious Sect, Psychos?

  when you think of jw's, what do you think of them as being, are they a religion, a cult, a religious sect, or something else?.

  i don't exactly know what i think they are, they're a printing house which prints things based around their understanding of the bible & christianity, sort of making them a sect, but the things they do are both extreme and cult-like, so wondered... when you think of jw's, what do you think of them as being?

  thanks for that post UpAndAtom, very interesting, i've never really looked in depth at what actually makes a cult a cult, i just blanked the jw saga mostly, but the more i am here the more interesting the perspectives i see, if they're a cult, they must be the biggest in mankinds history.

  which prints things based around their understanding of the bible

  thinking about it, it's probably not based around their understanding of the bible as i doubt the people in charge even believe the stuff they print, they just print it to try to back up their position.

  "I'm not interested" / "Have a good day" ??

  by Gopher in

  what did you or other jw's say when told by a householder "i'm not interested"?.

  a lot of jw's in our area have the habit of saying "well, have a good day", as if to fill the awkward silence.. but if you studied your "conversation stoppers" section from the reasoning book, you find other possibilities:.

  "would you be interested if you could find out how you could see your dead loved ones again someday?".

  Can the Governing Body be called a "KILLER CULT?

  by Blueblades in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in 1993 david koresh led more than eighty branch davidians to their deaths in waco texas.. in 1978 some nine hundred followers perished in a mass suicide in jonestown,guyana,under the command of their cult leader,jim jones.. these events sparked great media attention because of their sensational nature,and because so many deaths occurred at once.. but another cult has,over the years,sacrificed untold thousands of lives.these deaths occurring quietly and one at a time,has so far escaped large - scale scrutiny.. more children are dying right now,in obedience to the governing body's ban on blood transfusion,than perished in the fire at waco.this enforcement on blood transfusions reaches into clinics and hospitals.. the governing body instructs jw's.

  who are employees in ciinics and hospitals to turn over information from confidential patient records to them.. they also conduct bedside trials of members who accept forbidden medical treatments.they even instruct parents to kidnap their children from hospital beds,and children themselves to resist doctors violently and to give false testimony in court.. how can a major religion headed by a governing body quietly lead victims to early and needless deaths without a public outcry?.

  would you say that the governing body of jehovah's witnesses can be called,or are, a "killer cult".. blueblades

  and those are actions that i would associate with a killer cult.

  "Killer High-Control Theocratic Extremist Religion".

  yeah, that is definitely a more accurate description!
