It has nothing to do with being a minority religion or their doctrine. There are healthy environments and unhealthy environments, both in regard ‘minority’ groups, as well as more popular movements.

It has to do with certain group’s authoritarian structure: the control of behavior, information, thoughts, and emotions.

The pain these authoritarian groups cause is very real. The deaths some of these groups cause is very real. In the case of this forum, the premature deaths, including that of children, exceed any other. Stick around and learn from people who have had life experience in these groups, rather than worrying about whose research is better than whose.

Have you had a crisis of concience?

my little boy has decided he wants to be a vegetarian and has been for over a year now.

i fully accepted and supported this.. my view however is no matter what you eat or how you eat it ....beings will die for you to eat.. i have noticed where we live we have the terms " free range" and " ecological".

if affordable i am sure most peoples preferrd option for their own health and the conditions of the animals.. i would say everyone has the right to eat what they want within reason.

I went vegetarian for a year for this reason...it wasn’t easy. Maybe in the future I will try again.

Who are the 500 anonymous members of the Watchtower Society?

by yadda yadda 2 in

i believe there are 500 or so official members of the watchtower bible & tract society.

these are the ones who attend the annual meeting of the watchtower society.

they appear to be like company shareholders.. who are these individuals and why are they apparently anonymous?

A question JW's cannot answer (also need help)

by Matt_fs in

man, its been years since i posted on here.

when i was in deep discussion with my very close jw friend, this forum helped me tremendously, so thank you all for your help and knowledge.. many years ago i went to my jw friends house with one sheet of paper with my notes and questions.

i had him stumped and he said he would get back to me (which he never did).. anyways, many years have passed without even discussing anything and just the other day he brought it up and wanted to see what he couldn't answer.

JW.org is a DIFFERENT religion from the WT and Kingdomhall

by EndofMysteries in

has anybody else noticed the huge 180 degree under the public jw.org vs the material in the study articles?

other than jw.org showing that shunning of family and those who left the religion does not happen, yet in the kingdomhall and wt is does happen.

look at jwborgs stance on quitting school and getting higher education.... http://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/family/teenagers/ask/quit-school/ can anybody show one wt that says what is in the borg website?

It's BAU cult tactics. Outsider information vs insider information.
