Hey! Great post and I enjoyed hearing about how it is in Mormom church and it's VERY similar with JWs.
The part you mentioned on new members getting love, same with JW's, the love bombing. Then eventually as well after they are official then it wears off and expected to do as all others. The order is the same, and they call ex members apostates or disfellowshipped and those who never been JW's before, those in the world, instead of gentiles are called 'worldly'.
I'll write more later or feel free to message me, I gotta go now but thought I'd at least get started in the comparison for you.
I do want to ask on the Mormon belief of the future, etc. What is the belief of Earth? And the afterlife? I heard something along the lines of Earth is a testing ground and those who pass become a god and get to rule over a planet?
