Here on Yahoo! there have been many questions and answers saying JW's are a cult. But what, exactly, is a cult? It seems to me that "cult" is misunderstood and misapplied.

JW's do not hide themselves away in mountain retreats, hold women and children hostage, stockpile weapons and then commit mass suicide. JW's are not held in thrall to a charismatic leader. JW's do not have to give hundreds of thousands of dollars/pounds in order to progress up some mystical ladder to "perfection". They are law abiding, honest and decent people. Why then, the accusation?

Please check out the definition of cult and then provide evidence to support the idea that it applies to JW's. If it turns out that they are not a cult, then is there another description that should be applied? I mean something POLITE and ACCURATE. If you claim to be a Christian, please display some true Christian love while you think about the answer to this question.

If so, do they have to follow that up with a 2-week check-up?

Do they have to get their baby shots all over again?

God said His word will not return to Him empty. Post it for those belonging to satan, that they may have some exposure to the truth...

What if the doctor is an atheist, and absolutely says that he doesn't believe in god, and he wouldn't want help from a god even if they were around?

If you still believe that god is working through him, then doesn't that mean god is taking away the doctor's freedom of choice since he flat out said that he wants no help from god?

Or is it just a metaphor or poetic license to say that god was working through the doctor? If so, then why say it if it means nothing?

Oh, and this scenario is assuming that the patient, or anyone the patient knows, is NOT praying what-so-ever.

"The universe was created by an all-powerful all-knowing being who came down to us in the form of a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father who can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree."

Someone posted, does Jesus masturbate...many said no...Jesus was sinless and that masturbation is a sin...

Do you really think that masturbation is a sin? I feel very sorry for you if you do...this is 2007 now...we know this is a natural act...

Why are so many fundamentalists so hung up on sex? Is this the reason that so many of you are mean and hateful...because you are not getting any?
