I Escaped Jehovah's Witness Cult But Healed Slowly After

I've never been in the JWs. But I have heard a lot of bad things about them and right now, I am trying to persuade a close friend not to become involved with them. They got to her right after her husband died and she was lonely.

IT IS A CULT!! My cousin is one and even gave them the money to build a center. He is strange. They shun people and are cheap. They won't give presents but gladly accept Christmas bonuses, any money you are willing to give them and not call a gift they will take. If she wants to end her loneliness tell her to take up bocce ball or join arts and crafts or take piano lessons.

@Quietrumble: We are not a cult. 🙄
That's good, he contributed to our organization so that we can continue building our churches I take it?
What exactly do you mean with cheap?
We shun people who actively go against the bible laws, as it is said in the bible
[quote]1 Corinthians 5:13 God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked man from among you.”[/quote]
We simply follow the bible scriptures as true christians.
We do not take part in any pagan holidays, that includes birthdays; This is forbidden in the bible, as it's described as unclean.
What exactly do you mean with "any money you are willing to give them and not call a gift they will take"? Do you mean as in a paycheck? because yes we do like getting a paycheck after working, such as any human being here on earth.
