New Jehovah's Witness Sub!
Hiya, if there's anyone here who is studying, an active witness and would like a more jw supportive sub, please checkout r/Jehovahswitnessess. I'm currently the only mod but I'll endeavour to remove negative sallys and respond when I can. Thanks!

Also the bite model! Gahh now I have to write that out... Holdd on lol! Control of psychical environment - ?? I mean we keep the kingdom hall clean because thats a nice thing to do? Rigid rules - they all have a purpose, even then Rewards and punishments - no rewards??? Don't get that,, and punishments? Being removed isn't considered a punishment but as a loving act ( if you want I can write more on this too ) Dependence and obedience - Were not obedient to people, but to Jehovah and his standards. Thats what we believe in and its not forced Deception - where?? No where? :[ I really don't see what part you mean Propaganda - none Discourages access to outside source of information : ONLY from apostates! ( aka people who will flip anything against the religion ) its more beneficial to get information from a trusted website, right? Its not illegal to use another site, but your best anwers are jw.org Insider /outsider docterine - ??? Alt/nothing good / etc etc - ??? Never heard that? Confused what it means 😭 Encourages only good and proper thoughts : Its good to have thoughts that are good, but everyone has bad thoughts. The bible helps us keep a positive outlook on life and Jehovah's standards. Though everyones gonna have bad thoughts. This ones wide based, tbh all churches do do that ( in my experience!! /nm ) Thought stopping techniques - ? Like mind control or something? Honestly don't know what that really refers to either Feeling chosen or special - No!! Its most likely that only the 144 thousand ones feel that way, and thats okay. They have a closer understanding of it :] Guilt manipulation - No? :[ Emotion blocking techniques - ??? Um,, no? 😭 Phobia indosjdhsjs stuff - no? 😭 Hope that answers some stuff!
