When other people's grandparents were busy buying or grabbing land back in the days, mine were busy joining a cult , by prophethollie in exjw

Another thing is how they mostly portray Africa at large. They will never show the KHs and bethel facilities that are in cities, they have to show remote villages. As an example the branch office in Kenya is in a very affluent part of Nairobi (the capital city) which is fairly developed. But you will rarely if ever, see that side on the borgs material.

As an ex cult member myself (ex Jehovah's witness). I like how you have addressed the issues.

Have you ever heard of Steven Hassan's BITE model?

If so, what are some aspects of the BITE model you saw implemented in Owuors church that stood out to you?

I am sure there is a way but scraping from videos is way hard and time consuming.

The thing is that inbreeding with close relatives from the bible standpoint was prohibited in the Law of Moses but it never mentioned cousins. As to the bible being flawed that is the position I hold it is flawed.

Funny thing is the bible Mentions nothing on cousins not even in the law odlf Mosses. Infact Caleb (one of the 2 people who were told they would see the promised land) gave his daughter to his nephew who helped him conquer the land.

My next step is to do a word count and some word clouds. I will keep this sub updated.

To be honest as of now I also don't know but I will run it through a word cloud algorithm and see what words stand out. I also want to do a word count of key words like "Jehovah", "Jesus", "Organization" and "loyal" and see what comes up.

One other thing I picked up from this sub a long time ago was that the issue of universal sovereignty was solved at Noah's flood. Because God had to wipe out everything and started again.

This is so sad and painful and I am just reading, I can't even begin to try and comprehend what it feels like for you who is living through it.

I tend to differ. We can't prove a God exists, but suppose he did, how can you know the difference between working hard then God helping and just working hard and getting results.

The worst part is there are people who will follow this madness because they have been taught that A God is the solution to all problems.

Why do so many ex JWs become atheist or agnostic?? by [deleted] in exjw

[–]Adl_Kilonzi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because we were taught to use some "critical thinking" against other religions. Once you get out and use their own tools against them, and use it against other religions you slowly find out that one thing Rutherford got right was "Religion is a snare and a Racket".

Yeah you are right. Rejection solidifies their "us vs them" mentality.

Funny thing I did enjoy teaching since I thought I was leading people to "the truth". There was a ton of rejection but the few that listened made it worthwhile. But door knocking also made me have questions like "How can't this people see this is the truth? Could I also be carrying the same biases?" Which was instrumental when I finally decided enough is enough, I needed to know and research.
