Sure probably. I really don't know enough. From the outside, I just assumed that right wing mega churches are the worst, but again I have no clue.
My fear was that I would meet a JW in the comments and they'd be like "hey we're not that bad".
You're not going to see a JW this deep in the internet, I can promise you that. Long story short, they're like the Scientology of Christian sects, with (probably) more child sex abuse. Really depraved shit, and it's all about power and control of others for the authority figures.
Mega churches are quite a bit more simple - they're grifts. The attendees don't police or abuse each other, you rarely talk with the pastor if at all, there's no real community. There's no real substance to them, just a gathering to recite some bullshit interpretations of the Bible that ultimately leads to more money donated into the "offering" plate. There's no consistent system of personal abuse, which def happens but it's not an official part of the program and more an outpouring of the ideology. They're a very hateful community and I wouldn't trust them with my kids, but they're more like toddlers - mad about things they know nothing about and blaming unrelated things.
