Captain Mog posted:How do they respond when confronted with factual evidence that proves their beliefs wrong? Like for instance, they insist Jesus was impaled on a "torture stake". This is just flat out wrong and can be easily refuted by referring to the Bible, which mentions "two spikes" being put in his hands (I haven't read it in a while but it's a scene in Matthew I believe when the Disciples check Christ's wounds to confirm it is him). I cannot fathom the mental hurdles one must go through to ignore this kind of evidence, it's astounding how naive some people can be. The Bible is not really a factual, unbiased source dude. It's like "clearly your unsourced anecdote from 2000 years ago is wrong, this OTHER unsourced anecdote from 2000 years ago says so!!!!!!!" Benne posted:Some might even call it cultish. Now who would say such a thing?

To what degree would you consider JW to be predatory on people with emotional problems? Like is the average JW member noticeably desperate for community / belonging or otherwise codependent with the organization?

Sanzio037 posted:No beards? Well count me out of joining up. Gosh darn it, this sounded like the group for me too. I believe the Old Believers take converts  quote:Old Believers consider the shaving of one's beard a severe sin. This is due to the so-called iconographic thinking of Orthodoxy: Christ had a beard and men ought to have the same appearance
