Heartofaboy, she is simply a troll and an attention-getter...she used to post here as Reniaa...then posted here she was leaving to return to the org..and came back under another name...take her meaningless words with a grain of salt.

At what point did you realize JW's were a Cult?

by Think About It in

most of us x-jw's at one point no doubt defended the jw's when called a cult.

althought being out since 95', when i first came here it took awhile before i could use the cult word to describe the jw religion.

finding out about the pedophile scandal was disgusting, but it was probably finding out here about the wts history and terrible personal experiences of some on this board that made me finally admit that the jw's were a cult.

My reply: You mean like the blood ban that has killed many? You are a true idiot Reniaa.

Ren/Debator:

What kind of divisions?

10I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought. 11 My brothers, some from Chloe's household have informed me that there are quarrels among you. 12 What I mean is this: One of you says, "I follow Paul"; another, "I follow Apollos"; another, "I follow Cephas [a] "; still another, "I follow Christ."

13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized into [b] the name of Paul? 14 I am thankful that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius, 15 so no one can say that you were baptized into my name. 16 (Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I don't remember if I baptized anyone else.) 17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with words of human wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.

Oh, he means don't form sects and follow other men...follow Christ...be united in the coming of Jesus and looking toward him. He is not instructing to follow the commands of man, or cultic leaders such as the GB.

You then quoted:

1 Timothy 6:3-5 (New International Version)

3 If anyone teaches false doctrines and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching, 4 he is conceited and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions 5 and constant friction between men of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain. Christendom is heading towards an unbiblical ecumenicalism of today, which tells us to forget all doctrine for sake of unity. They use Jesus as a talisman not a bringing of a life-saving message we then live by. My reply: The GB demands are false doctrine and certainly not the sound instruction of Jesus or godly teaching.

Hi the finger

Your just making assumptions they have never said Armageddon had to happen on the exact date after the creative day ended but that it would hopefully happen soon after (which we still say now)

My reply: yeah, yeah yeah....they said the difference would be the time between Adam and Eve's creations...months, NOT years. At the same time they taught that the 6,000 years had to be followed by a 7th millenium of rest IF Jesus really was the lord of the sabbath, as he said he was.

Reniaa you false prophet you!!

Hi Isaac

I am talking about the true Christians that (despite the trinitarian 1500 year deathhold on religious doctrine) were able to recognise and tell others about revealed bible truths since the early Christians.

My reply: Ok. That certainly would not be Jehovah's Witnesses.

You know it is a cult when all dissention/disagreement/injustice is the fault of the person, not the org. Members have to justify by either saying that they are not privy to the details (which equally begs the question of how they know the org is innocent) or that if the org saw fit to do as they did there must be a reason.

Ren/Debator:

Not "We", as you are obviously not a JW...but simply pro-JW in your own eyes. You should more accurately have said "The JEhovahs Witnesses and myself reference..." since you are not part of the cult, except in your own mind.

Sorry -bator, but none of the verses above support the cultic authority structure of the WT.
