Motivations For Disaffiliation From The Two-By-Two Sect, Julene L. Jones
Motivations For Disaffiliation From The Two-By-Two Sect, Julene L. Jones
Julene L. Jones
Disaffiliates from encapsulating sects may have many motivations for their disaffiliation. Multiple typologies exist which shed light on an individual’s motivations for disaffiliation from religious groups in general, and on motivations for disaffiliation from particular sects, though no exploration has been made of disaffiliates of the highly tense, fundamentalist Christian Two-by-Two sect. This thesis describes results from a survey of former members of the sect which points to motivations regarding the implausibility of doctrine as being the strongest motivations for these disaffiliates.
