Thanks for the heads up. I was reading the memes section of lemmy specifically hoping to find out if I should join The Watchtower or not. Good lookin’ out

I couldn't stress enough that you absolutely should not! Consider looking on YouTube as well.

Their favorite tactic is probably love bombing. We were thoroughly instructed on how to make potential new members feel "welcomed" there are literally mandatory "mid-week" meetings that they used to call the school. It is, literally a school to teach you how to manipulate people into joining. They literally teach you how much of the "truth" they should reveal to new recruits without scaring them off. I guess people are scared off when they know the "truth" which is basically an endless web of lies to try and validate and justify the endless harm they cause people. Mostly by manipulation and "disfellowshipment." They won't let you get higher education except when they need it themselves (they paid for some people to go to school and become lawyers to defend them.) And you can't marry anyone who's not baptized through their organization. Things like this should really rase red flags for people.
