The Cult Test
by AndDontCallMeShirley inafter reading this, is there any doubt watchtower is a cult?.
the following information describes cults in general but is not specifically focused on the jehovah's witnesses, although they are mentioned several times.
the characteristics of cults are so much in line with wt tactics, down to similar phrases and buzzwords.. .

Examples please; How does the WTS 'bait and switch' after Baptism...?
by The Song Remains The Same ini was wondering if there is a list already on here that presents the key 'game changers' or 'bait and switch' points that will happen once you get baptised?
this can include behavioral changes by the already members towards the newly baptised.. i've read somewhere about the 'love bombing' and how that stops, heard a bit about the time-in-service reporting, and that pressure to attend the meetings goes up (esp.
if missing a few).

"The Sociopath Next Door" by Martha Stout, Ph.D.
by gmcotten in"[pshychologist] stanley milgram .
pointed out that people who disobey destructive authority suffer psychologically, too.
often a person who disobeys finds himself at odds with the social order, and may find it hard to shake the feeling that he has been faithless to someone or something to whom he pledged allegiance.

My life of Debauchery since leaving WTBT$-They were right!!!
by Gojira_101 insince april 1st will be officially 6 months and i will be considered inactive, i thought this would be a good time for me to review my life since leaving....and i guess wtbt$ is right in that my life would return to a debauched state if i left them...so here is my review and i'm being totally serious here.. .
sex: yes i have sex with my husband.....i guess we have returned to the world because we take advantage of our marital dues.. related to sex: no longer just missionary.
drugs: yes i have been taking drugs......my allergies have been so bad the last few days i just couldn't handle it anymore and i gave in to the temptation to take over the counter allergies medicine.. rock and roll: yes......i am no longer listening to the kingdom melodies (i never really did anyways), and have gone to listening to the devils music.

False prophets or simply wrong expectations?
by leaving_quietly inin a talk i heard recently, the brother was talking about how jws had certain expectations about the end, acknowledging 1914, 1925, surely before 1935 and 1975, then we learned that it's not in our jurisdiction to know jehovah's timetable.
then he said, some say that because we made those mistakes, some say jws are false prophets.
he said that was "simplistic thinking".

New magazine cover from the religion that calls former believers "mentally diseased"....
by cedars inapparently "prejudice" applies only to racial equality and has nothing to do with diverse sexual orientation or religious beliefs.
it's news to me, but that's the only way i can explain this latest cover from the society.. http://download.jw.org/files/media_magazines/86/wp_e_20130601.pdf.
