Why I think Jehovah's Witnesses are a cult
by whyhideit ini think it pays sometimes to look back at our life with the jehovah's witnesses and review what made the organization a cult.
after all, for years we were told by the society that we were not in a cult and we argued this point in the door-to-door activity.
i found these thoughts on a web-site and i gave personal examples of how i felt and what i saw back in the days of the religion's influence on my life.

Self-righteousness = Mental illness
by whyhideit ini was living in a congregation in northern california when i was in my early twenties.
in doing so i got to know this one family pretty good.
they were the typical self-righteous witness, with a elder father and a pioneer son and daughter.

Multiple Personality Disorder
by whyhideit ini do not read this term mentioned on here much, under child abuse.
so i thought i would discuss it a little, since i had a very close female friend in the congregation who dealt with this condition.
this disorder, for those who do not know, is when people basically develop individual personalities inside of the one person, that is them.

Tabloid predictions for 2003
by whyhideit ini was in the check stand at the local grocery store this evening, and the tabloids had their annual predictions for 2003. so i thought i would give a few of my own.
feel free to add, and at the end of the year we can see if any of them come true.
by the way, saying that war with iraq is coming is to obvious.

Did this ever seem weird to you?
by whyhideit inthe jehovah's witnesses have been saying for years now that the end could happen at anytime.
yet when you want to become a jehovah's witness it takes about one to three years of studying to actually be allowed to get baptized.
it seems to me that this would be like seeing a train about ready to hit someone and rather then push them out of the way, you first ask them if they know how to build a train and then explaining it to them in detail.. just seems to send a mixed message of "the end time is near" and then "but we have plenty of time to get things planted in your mind before it arrives.".

Give credit, good or bad, where it is due
by whyhideit inthis might sound familiar
a family in the kingdom hall is having some troubles with money.
they are hardly making enough to feed the family and pay bills, because something has happened in their lives that is financially devastating.

I was wondering something, could you answer me?
by whyhideit inthe internet has been around over a decade now, and many of the posters on this site say they have been out less then that time.
so what i was wondering, was when you were still active, did you ever go to a site like this one.
a site like this, that had apostate information and posted references from publications that were forbidden for us to read?
