Cult and Sect
by JH ini would like to know how you differentiate sect from cult.
where i learned the truth in quebec, we used a french jw bible, and the word sect meant the wrong religion, or false religion, while cult meant the pure and only religion.
so the jw in french say they are a cult, meaning only true religion.

Misogyny----anyone here guilty?
by Tatiana inafter reading the post on how to "treat your husband," i'd like to know if any men here actually feel this way about women.
everyone jokes around about male/female relationships, but how many really think women are inferior?
i know from some serious posts i've read here, that a few of the men must have really been hurt by someone.

Diminished Morality as Proof???
by confuzcious intoday a couple of elders came by and told me that "diminished morality" is proof that those who leave the truth have lost jehovah's favor.
that is, when they were in the truth, they were all chaste, etc.
but now that they are out of the truth that they don't hold the same high standards of morality.

Regarding the "god" of the Watchtower
by Marcos inexplain something to me, please.. has anyone noticed the similarity of the god of the watchtower (as they portray him) to allah?
i know very little about islam.
i have read a little and frankly am not interested (mark me down as a "not at home").. i must state that i use the word god in small letters because i don't believe that the wt revers jehovah other than in name only.

Thoughts about the two witness rule
by Sadie5 ini was thinking this morning about how i feel the two witness rule is not applied to every situation.
take a charge of adultery for example.
i know of times when elders camped out in front of someone's house all night to see if two people spend the night together and this would be grounds for adultery, however, unless they peeked into the windows, or snuck in to be there, they were only witnesses to the fact that someone went in the place and came out the next morning.

The internet, really a good place for information?
by sleepy in.
is the internet really a good place to find information?a lot of people have learnt the truth about jehovahs witnesses through the internet, via web sites that proclaim to expose the truth about them.. but is the internet a safe place to gather information on important subjects?grated its very easy to find what you are looking for most of the time,but just how trust worthy is the information found within?often when i look at sites that discuss subject i have a good knowledge of there is a lot of nonsense talked by people who havent got a clue but just want to have a say.it is not always easy for the "novice" to determine who is the "expert" and who is not.. the internet suffers from this problem more than say books, because it is so easy for just anyone to write what they want, whereas to make a book you have to go through a lot of effort and it will have been read and checked by other people.. i tend to treat the internet like i treat people.i only listen if people can give a good explaination as to what they are saying or believe, if none is provided i will ignore the information whethr it is correct or not as there is no basis for me to trust it.. so in order to give good information we must always try to explain why we belive something to be the case.. dont just trust what you read (most people dont anyway)always look for the reasons why, and think of counter arguments , only then except what is writen and still be a little sceptical.
