there are standards and benchmarks and yardsticks,
there are symptoms and idiosyncrisis and consequences...
if we don't identify what a cult is or not, we will end up with suicidal cults like Jim Jones.
whether you think JW is a cult or not, does not matter to me....
i believe, through what i've read that JW is a cult, but this bit of information should also not be important to you.
however, for whatever you decide, please do it with a informed mind.
the fact that JW is greatly persecuted should not be the criteria for which you are supporting it.

That is another perspective.

??i dun remember any of God's works/words involve collecting $$??just how would one feel especially a 1st timer when s/he enter the church.once they got seated, the church members starts a brief talk of "the-more-$-you-contribute-the-more-God-rewards-you".and immediately after that, starts collecting $$.
in a way, this is still ok,at least they make clear their intention is $. i ever attended a church on a fren's request. the speaker spoke how evil $ can be n such..and after that, starts collecting $. it was my 1st time so my $ stay put with me and the speaker kept staring at me like hes gonna skin me alive...
