OnTheWayOut	Re: How Jehovah's Witnesses Control Your Mind - Controlling Your View of Truth
	Another key aspect of thought control involves training members to block out any information which is critical of the group. If any information transmitted to a cult member is perceived as an attack on the leader , the doctrine, or the group, a hostile wall goes up. Members are trained to disbelieve any criticism . Critical words have been explained away in advance as , " the lies about us that Satan puts in people's minds " or " the lies that the World Conspiracy prints in the news media to discredit us , because they know we're onto them. " This is why those that found the chinks in the armor have such a hard time.  You have freed your mind of the control, and you don't understand how you couldn't see it.  Worse yet, even though you couldn't see it yesterday, you don't understand how your family and friends don't see the truth of "the truth" today when you "prove" it to them. My wife literally shuts down when I make inroads.  "This is giving me a headache"  "One more thought" "NOOOOOO!!!!!!!  ENOUGH!  I can't discuss this anymore." It's a shame that this is not an isolated case.  It happens to many JW's forced to look at the realities. They just cannot do it.  Especially things like: 1. "Jehovah" as God's name in the New Testament- it isn't there. 2. It was a "cross."  WTS uses one possible definition of one word to say "stake." 3. No serious religions agree with WT's stand on many interpretations. 4. It is not true that only Jehovah's Witnesses show love and are good and preach the Good News.
