Oh yes they do! My friend who was a JW was told to quit hanging out with me or she'd be shunned because I was attending an Assemblies of God. They sure as heck DO control!
I was raised a JW until I left home when I was 16 and this religion has screwed up my entire life and of which I also hold accountable to the suicide of my younger sister and the death of my nephew.
Muslims could learn a finer art of subjugating people from this “cult”, they have it down to an art. Its very difficult to object to them with their honest sincerity, openness and quite frank fully their views but they only offer a quasi-fantasyland of a shelter that so many people in our society require.
They will not accept people with opinions easily if at all, I know because I became one to start questioning them in my teens. My only request to any JWs here is to get your guns, get learned on how to use them and organize your districts into areas of refuge, I know you can do it as I attended many circuit and district assemblies including the biggest one I ever went to in 1969 at Dodger stadium in LA, over 100,000 witnesses were there including myself as a young earnest dedicated volunteer that happily slept on tables to be ready to help with the days events, and also where I would search for the love of my life a Sandra Marie Mason that lived in Northern California, sadly when I left the JW I lost her as well, perhaps by fate she may be reading this, who knows, and who cares?
Anyhow I am suggesting this thread to be locked, attacking JWs is like setting up a minefield for the Amway people, they will just send more.
i doubt your interested in the religious aspect of this message but witnesses are encouraged to watch their association.i mean i would not want to bring an ax murderer in the hall and endanger the lives of everyone. and ya it does matter who you hang with, it i love jah and you love satan not such a good match huh? i mean ive already read that we allow child molesters in the hall then cover it up.but if they dissfellowship that person then you tell everyone who will listen how terrible they are for kicken em out. so make up my mind which one is it? or is this just another slam like all your other posts?
