God Complex
by nevergonnab1 indoes it seem as though fathers of jw famlies have a god complex?
from what i've seen it seems like they will ask some of the most outrageous things of their famlies just to see if they'll do it.
i've seen for my self one of these men ask thier famlies members to walk through filthy water to get a basket ball for him when he wouldn't do it for himself, i've also seen them make their daughters lotion their feet, ect.

Ungodly, Unbiblical and Abusive Methods of Leadership
by Quirky1 inthe wbts uses some of the most abusive and controlling tactics of all religious groups in keeping control of its membership.
individual members are expected to exhibit total, unquestioning obedience and loyalty to the directives of the governing body.
any expression of disagreement with any small point of doctrinal teaching or policy of the leadership may be grounds for disfellowshipment.

GB has indeed edited the Bible, deleted what suits them.
by hamsterbait ini always wondered why there were verses in the nwt which were just a dash.. the borg says these are spurious additions to the texts.. they have deceitfully hidden the fact that the bible as we know it was decided upon by the western church under constantine.. they claim the text has been preserved by holy spirit.
but they reserve the right ot edit further.. the gospel of john is an outstanding example of this.. they acknowledge that john was an "eye witness".. the spurious passage at john 7:53 - 8:11.. "these twelve verses have obviously been added to the original text of john's gospel.
(obvious to whom?
