Most.... possibly. Mere chance? It is well known that the exploits of a cult don't necessarily aim for your IQ but your emotional holes. We all have those.

Do You Think Jehovah's Witnesses Are Typically Ignorant People?
by minimus ini think most witnesses are simple minded.many are ignorant.
there are a lot of basically "good people "in the religion but i believe many are kind of dumb, including many elders.
do you agree with my thoughts??

Feel like I've failed
by Mr Negative ini need to get this off my chest, as i don't have many people to talk to about it who would understand.. i feel like i've failed my family, as not only have i been unable to get my parents and brother to see sense regarding the cult, but now my sister, who never got baptised but managed to escape twenty years ago, is now seriously considering going back for various "emotional" reasons, and i know that she won't listen to me.. i know they have all made their own decisions (at least, to the extent that brainwashed people can make their own decisions), and i can't really blame myself (even though i was the one who, when only ten years old, convinced my mum to listen to the poor lady on the doorstep out of politeness rather than just shut the door on her - so it is all indirectly my fault), but it still feels like i've failed them..

Is just natural. A mechanism of survival. Belonging gave humans a sense of security. Unfortunately, few would understand that you can belong without being in a named group. Once that has been brought up to you (the idea that if you are not part of anything you don't belong anywhere) then it is pretty hard to change your view. Simply look at patriotism and nationalism. What would you do if you were denied citizenship in every country of the world? Who would provide you justice and protection?
Can't blame people as much as those who understand and exploit your natural tendencies.

I would doubt we will see anything like this in the US under the current government.

Ana Maria Polo is actually a lawyer among other things. I am surprised she did not dig a bit more into the cult before before putting this together. In other cases of manipulation and abuse she goes on and on about how manipulators work. (mother in law watches the show a lot when she is at my house). Sad that she helps reinforce the indoctrination in the hispanic community. -

Don't put much meaning to those shows. Specially Caso Cerrado. Most of the cases presented there are acted on by cheap actors. There is a disclaimer at the end of the show that tells you so. Most times they pick subjects like gay marriage or discrimination to get people to dwell over wha is fair and what is not. The "judge" in this case ended up ruling in favor of the mother based on freedom of religion. She gives the speech right before it on how everyone is free to choose whatever they want to believe even if it kills them.

Not enough money to support more. If anything, they won't add anymore even if one of them dies. More money to go around and hey.... this could be a sign the end is imminent.

2017 Sunday RC Final Talk & Comments About 1975
by baldeagle inmany of us here have commented on the deceitful friday afternoon video shown at the 2017 rc that discussed 1975.. the video attempted to shift the blame onto congregation members for the fiasco saying, "some were looking to a certain date as signifying the end of this old system of things.".
this same video mentions how, “a few even went so far as selling their homes and quitting their jobs.”.
we all know that the wt leadership created this teaching and endorsed it right up to its abject failure.. now below is the concluding talk given on sunday at the rc.
