How a Creeping Commitment Traps YOU in a Cult

This video just scratches the surface into how normal people like you and I can easily become gradually duped over a period of time into becoming dependent on a destructive cult, religious pyramid scheme or become a suicide bomber. This study is by no means definitive, it only scratches the surface.

I'd like to offer my sincere thanks to youtuber 'JWinCT' for his help in making this video compilation. Recent text comment discussions with him/her had provided me with the inspiration to make this compilation, and I submit this in the hope that humanity can reach out and help people find their way out of bad relationships, dead-end jobs and of course religious cults such as a certain one founded in USA, mentioning no names.

It's really up to you what you want to believe, but it does very much seem that an organised religion, based in the world centre of sales and marketing, actively promoting mass-interpretation of scripture in the manner of the american lawyer (looking for loopholes, selective quoting of scripture over-literally & out of biblical context) for no other reason than its expansionist policies, it seems very much that Jesus would not approve of such an organisation, which mocks what was written.

[humanityandhistory]

Organised religion doesn't serve the local community, it only serves its own corporate expansion with its 'own brand' of god, packaged like a consumer product.

Organised religion based in the world centre of corporate sales & marketing doesn't appreciate a biblical term like "In The Name Of (The Law)", because American culture is far too over-literal to see it. Instead, organised religion thinks that 'The Law' has a "christian name", then it repeats this error over 6000 times in a fake bible

[humanityandhistory]

And it's no use 000266617 trying to (mis)quote "what Jesus said", because unless one can appreciate the original langauge spoken by Jesus, and the biblical meaning, the original message will not be understood. Do you really expect the 'scribes and pharisees' of organised religion, (based in the world centre of corporate sales and marketing) to be able to interpret Hebrew in any other than over-literal interpretation of American English ? Hired lawyers.

Do you really think Jesus would approve?

[humanityandhistory]

Totally missing the point, as one would expect from Organised Religion.

Branding god is what Microsoft(TM) had done to DOS(TM) and what Coke(TM) has done to cola. Watchtower(TM) mentality is just another form of creeping Americanisation of humanity.

Christianity is already intolerant enough as it is, so how can this continued systematic branding of god (shared by the whole of humanity) in any way improve mankind's religious intolerance and inter-faith relations?

Would Jesus approve of this?

[humanityandhistory]

"What part of Christ's example is ignored? "

How about for starters, the clear, unambiguous, explicit & specific way Christ instructs mankind to address Our Heavenly Father, during His response to a direct question asked of Him: "teach us to pray"? It is the first two words of the prayer. These same two words- followers of the watchtower are in denial of. They instead replace Jesus' example with an exclusive 'brand name' which sabotages inter-faith relations & increases religious intolerance

[000266617]

(Continuing with my previous post) Of course Christ told his apostle to put away the sword, wasn't into wars and was for reasoning with people, so anyone following Christ wouldn't be destructive. Yes, "more tolerance, understanding, forgiveness and a desire to do less evil and more good!"

[000266617]

"Wasn't Christ all about showing tolerance, understanding and forgiveness?" Yes but he had a sense of Justice also and didn't belive everyone would be forgiven (read his comments to the religious leaders) "selectively interprets christ's role model" What part of Christ's example is ignored? It is an unsupported charge here and such comments must be tossed out if unsupported.

[humanityandhistory]

Wasn't Christ all about showing tolerance, understanding and forgiveness?

Aren't christians supposed to be following christ and not an organisation that selectively interprets christ's role model primarily to serve it's own growth?

Would Christ approve of such an organisation?

How exactly did Jesus address who He was praying to ?

When Jesus was asked "teach us to pray?" what was the first 2 words of the model prayer?

[humanityandhistory]

"...taught to imitate Christ..."

There are so many who wish this statement was true today. If it was true, it would do so much for inter-faith relations, cross-faith sharing in worship of god together. All the JW's I know are quick to condemn any other religion as demonic, and people in it as demonised.

Jesus is supposed to be for everyone. Mediator.

"we aren't supposed to be discussing these things!"

Yes I know, it's easy isn't it? to drift off topic.

Food for thought:

"Shunning has a biblical basis"

A certain practice of 'being completely covered head to toe in dark cloth with just eyes showing' has a 'holy-text basis' as well. But it doesn't actually describe this in the Ku'ran at all.

I think you'll find that human nature (especially in groups) will more than you realise, be applying a bias to how holy text is interpreted.
