  To understand cults we need to start understanding ourselves

  by paranoia agent in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  there are books out there that talk about why it is so difficult to convince someone that they are wrong.

  hassan and singer specifically address destructive cults.

  hassan refers to cult members under mind control and singer under thought reform.

  A mormon pm's me

  by paranoia agent in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  just read your thread about oblivion to oblivion, watched the video you posted and wondered if you'd be willing to let me send you some videos on the book of mormon.

  as you may know, i'm lds and i believe there's substantial evidence for the historicity of the book.

  but i'm also aware there's evidence and proof.

  From oblivion to oblivion

  by paranoia agent in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  we all are on our separate journeys, some of us are undecided, some unconvinced, others no longer believe in the cult but now in another religion, or lost complete belief in deities.. i don't know how beneficial these atheists threads are to new comers, perhaps it would be more difficult to accept certain information, for example scientific methods and understandings rather than different interpretations of the bible, this was the case with me at the start of my journey from leaving this jw cult.. when i left i bought many bibles, some expensive interlinears and commentaries, today my reading material mainly consist of science and social political issues, how i have changed.

  i am happy that i will die knowing i won't have all the answers, i know none of you will even if you believe in invisible parents.

  my views changed so much that not only do i no longer believe in deities but also the hate i have towards a fiction god of pure evil that many claim to be good.. but one thing i do know, is that it's too much for me to believe in a book who we don't know the authors, that has inconsistencies and errors, and that somehow didn't speak bad about roman authority at the time ****yink*** ***yink****.. remember what jesus said, pay to caesar what belongs to caesar?
