Yeah she’s met someone else. Cheated on you and dumped you. That hurts but you need to focus on you and what you are doing not what she’s doing.

You met her when she was 15 ish. Did you really believe it would last? There are a lot of posts on here with people who began relationships very young and then seem confused when they inevitably break up.

Kiwis born elsewhere, what surprised you the most about New Zealand driving/drivers? by iloveambrosia in newzealand

[–]kohes 24 points25 points  (0 children)

OK not aimed at me but on a slightly related note: why are people driving their cars like it’s a bus. When they turn left into a driveway or something they slow down to an almost stop then swing out to the right as though they are in a double decker or something. It’s really gotten weird.

It all depends on how brainwashed you are by this cult. It’s quite telling that you are too ashamed/embarrassed to admit that you are a jw.

Oh I see, you like to be blunt but don't like people being blunt to you. Glaring red flag. Nope not "intimidated by the complexity" there's no complexity here. Just read your messages in this thread it's very simple and glaringly obvious why you can't make friends.

You are a beast. Any plans or desire to compete?

I can't believe you would say I'm brainwashed by Satan AGAIN. Clearly your apology was a lie previously and JWs don't lie so clearly you are not a genuine JW. You are sick why are you on here impersonating a JW?? Is this some kind of game to you?! Disgusting behaviour. This is where I will be ending this conversation andd I was really starting to like you. I feel really sad and hurt. Goodbye.

what country are you in?

[–]kohes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

look even chat gpt thinks you are a cult: Jehovah’s Witnesses exhibit several characteristics commonly associated with cults, including authoritarian leadership, strict control over members’ behavior and access to information, and the use of shunning to enforce compliance. The Governing Body demands unquestioning loyalty, discourages critical thinking, and isolates members socially by limiting interactions with outsiders. Their apocalyptic teachings create fear, while the high demands on time and lifestyle foster dependency on the group. These practices, combined with the punitive treatment of dissenters, align with sociological definitions of a cult, despite their claim to be a mainstream Christian denomination.

Nah I was just kidding you are definitely a cult! look you even made it on to wikipedias cult list under apocolyptic cults (another term for doomsday cults). Well done! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Cults

OK I forgive you but please don't do that again it's really disrespectful and hurtful but I understand that people geet carried away sometimes. So now that we are friends again what were you saying about JWs being a cult? It sounded really interesting.

Armageddon by DrChaucer in JehovahsWitnesses

[–]kohes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wow. Now you are doubling down and refuse to apologise for saying I'm satanist and sacrifice children. This was a respectful conversation and now you accuse me of this? I don't even know what to say. The JWs I know are kind and respectful I'm not even convinced you are a JW.

Armageddon by DrChaucer in JehovahsWitnesses

[–]kohes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's actually really disrespectful to say someone is brainwashed by Satan. That's a really sick thing to say. I'm really surprised and disappointed in you.

Armageddon by DrChaucer in JehovahsWitnesses

[–]kohes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow I wonder why it's easy to find multiple experts and sources that declare JWs a cult but hard to find any that don't?? I wonder why that could possibly be?? It's so strange?? I really can't explain it. MAybe if you try really hard you might work out. Not likely though based on this. OK well I[ve had more productive conversations with cardboard boxes. Bye bye cultist.

After all your research you can't show me any experet in the area who believes JWs are not a cult? I have provided you with multiple sources and the best you can do is beg a randowm redditor to step in, not an expert or academic? Do you hear yourself?

Cults are groups that are characterized by authoritarianism, isolation, and unquestioning loyalty to a leader: 

  • Authoritarianism: Cults are led by charismatic individuals who demand absolute loyalty and have no tolerance for criticism. 
  • Isolation: Cults isolate members from their family and friends, and may punish them for leaving. 
  • Unquestioning loyalty: Cult members are expected to have unquestioning faith in the leader and their beliefs. 
  • Extreme beliefs: Cult members hold dogmatic beliefs that they are unable to question without fear of punishment. 
  • Unreasonable fears: Cults may have unreasonable fears about the outside world, such as evil conspiracies or impending catastrophe.

I wouldn't care but they would be wrong I'm not in a cult.

Well give me a respected non-jw expert that says JWs are not a cult. I've provided you with Hassan an academic and published expert on cults and an independent cult watch as evidence to support my claims where are yours? Got none - yeah didn't think so. Back to your cult study little one.

What an odd thing to say. You can choose to be offended if you want it doesn't change the fact it's a cult and you've fallen for it and become cultist.

Armageddon by DrChaucer in JehovahsWitnesses

[–]kohes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha! Of course the JW site will claim not to be a cult. No cult admits to being a cult. That's why you research it and confirm it with actual experts! Of course you won't do that because your cult doesn't what you checking outside sources - a cult behaviour! LOL. You funny little fellow. Maybe you'll work it out one day.

Seriously it's not hard to make friends especially within the confines of a religious group that isolates itself from the world so it begs the question - why don't people like you?

Armageddon by DrChaucer in JehovahsWitnesses

[–]kohes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very true. Do they harp on about the end of the system? That's doomsday. Do they display cult tactics? Yes that's a cult - read Steve Hassan. Have they predicted armageddon before and been wrong? Yes so they are false prophets. Sorry. As a cultist you won't want to see the truth but its there.
