I worked as an ICU nurse for many years. I've seen JW members die because they refused blood transfusions. Tragic. One patient who needed a transfusion was not a JW but her children were. Our care was delayed because her children were giving her a hard time, they demanded she refuse it. It got to the point where the doctor wanted security called to get them out and stop interfering with our care.

Back in the 1960's one of my dad's cousins died by Human Sacrifice. She was a jw, her husband was not.
They had 4 kids already, she was pregnant and hemorrhaged badly.
The husbnad was working 2 hours away. By the time he made it to the hospital, it was too late.
He literally said, if he was there, he would have forced the blood transfusion.
She died, left her husband to raise a bunch of kids on his own.
It is Human Sacrifice because when a Cult forces their people to commit suicide, they literally killed them for THE CULTS beliefs.

L. Ron Hubbard was a writer of cheap science fiction before inventing the cult of Scientology. How can anybody believe that Scientology is in any way legitimate? Let alone devote their lives to it, and, sadly, their eternity.

Great job on the Mormon part! I grew up Mormon and while I certainly wouldn’t call it a cult it does have a very strong cultural identity. But when I left not a single one of my Mormon friends stopped talking to me.

[johnnyrose]

Btw, it REALLY bothers me when you call thr jws, Christians. They are NOT Christians

Christians put their faith in Jesus.❤

Thanks for that, the more warning signs about these groups, the better for all!

I am a Latter-day Saint. Your research on my faith is pretty accurate, although the "other planets" part is not considered doctrine, only a reasonable hypothesis, or opinionated teaching. I do not understand how The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints can be qualified as a "cult" (quoted as I'm using the popularized definition of the term). Though I am pretty sure uninformed individuals will gladly comment under this that they know my faith better than I do, what is described, here, are only beliefs that is not mainstream. Compared to Jehovah's Witnesses and Scientology, Latter-day Saints are neither encouraged to shun, intimidate, or otherwise withhold charity to those who left the Church, even if they have no intention on returning. Quite the opposite. In fact, you might be interested to research each religion's humanitarian efforts, including mainstream ones (if you haven't done so already). Gotta be objective. Other than that, your content is very informative.

I think that a few years ago, the Watchtower was yrying to claim anout eight mollion, but theyve lost almost two million in the past five years.

At best maybe six million, but "undoubtedly" closer to five.😮

Umm... you need to update that dude on the left to a bearded person, with no tie or jacket, and a grey Bible.

Scientologists have better uniforms . . . .

[bionicwoman]

Im surprised you didn't mention pentecostalism they also are a high control group

[sophibrumby]

Have you thought about looking into beliefs of the Christadelphians? A relatively small group at about 50, 000 w/wide, yet they tick many boxes of ‘high control’ any many who leave find it challenging outside of the ‘bubble’.

I’m sorry but…the Scientology drawing in the thumbnail looks a bit more like a Salvation Army person. 😂

[juztnlast]

JW's do not believe in hell.
A JW is asked if they would like to go to hell or spend eternity going to Kingdom Hall functions and witnessing door-to-door. The JW proceeds to say "I think i'll like to give hell a try."

Jw, Morms, science bs the holey trinity

Will this video be updated to describe the Fauchovah’s Witneses?

[linoruggero]

Jehovah's Witness is very similar to Philip Coulson of S.H.I.E.L.D. From the Avengers from the Marvel Cinema series😂😂😂😂😂

All I hear is the Twightlight Zone theme music.

[TinaGolik]

My JW friend told me the watchtower teaches Jesus and the Devil are brothers. Same as Mormons. JWs also believe Jesus is the arch angel Michael .. I know you know this but didn’t mention it. This is an important point as the Bible warns about those who teach “ another Jesus”. Of course I’m only 3 minutes in to the video.

You will have to change that photo, jws don't have to wear suits now lol
