A Kind of Invasion of the Body Snatchers (stealing Christianity)
by TerryWalstrom injehovah's witnesses took mainstream christianity and replaced each part of it, one item, one term, one definition at a time, into its contrary.. holy spirit (capital letters) became a tholy spirit (lower case letters) = from a person into a mere forceful gesture.. cross became torture stake.
(eradication of the essential symbol of historical christianity).
soul went from ethereal spirit to a mere hunk of flesh and bone.. salvation by grace became earning your salvation one door-knock at a time.

CRAZY THINKING and how to AVOID it
by TerryWalstrom in1. asking the wrong people the wrong questions in search of the wrong answers based on the wrong presuppositions.. 2. failure to realize you can't drive without a steering wheel by facing the loss of autonomy, individualism, and self-respect.. 3. self-righteousness in failing to acknowledge poor choices you made coupled with a lack of curiosity as to why and how you made them.. 4. unwillingness to learn what a category fallacy** is in searching for the "true" religion or "correct" interpretation of scripture, etc.. 5. blindness to the autonomic response mechanisms drilled into you by the watch tower society making non-bias impossible for you.
replacing the jw's with some other nitwit scheme of absolute certainty.).
6. failure to let go of black and white thinking by learning how to see the gray areas between extremes.

WE CAN'T BECOME OLD LOSERS
by TerryWalstrom ingod has never been just one idea.god is always changing in the mind of true believers to fit the current situation.it's like a virus.
adaptation is part of evolutionary principles.change is powerful.superstition has almost always played a part in manipulating public opinion around the exploits of ruling powers.however...in the 20th century, the hold of superstition was sorely tested and found wanting.
"god is with us" became threadbare.communism promised a worker's paradise.
