A non-JW pilot friend of mine who doesn't know I was a JW sent me this, with the title "Mind control made easy!". It was eerie to watch this and recognize the similarities. It could be useful in helping a current JW who has doubts "get out", as it is NOT produced by an ex-JW. I felt it should be shared here, perhaps it already has been. It's worth repeating.

Wow! This video is power. It strengthened my resolve to continue increasing the distance between myself and the Dubs.

The similarities are uncanny, for sure. Now, this video was about "designing a cult"; do you think the WTBTS was "designed" from the get-go (by Russell) to be a cult, or slowly morphed into one with the characteristics described in the video?

Is it just me, or that singing @6:30 had the same style like the Kindom songs?
TJ: that might worth a separate thread, but imo Russel was a sincere guy (with very wrong ideas, but he was sincere), but Rutherford in the other hand is very possible to have engineered the cult knowingly. Even as a JW I thought that guy looked too much like a power hungry corporate leader, not at all like a spiritual man.

Wow. That was a bit terrifying - especially the singing. Not only did they look menacing, it was ominously similar to the "meetings" we have twice a week! Not to mention the briefcases, how we all wear similar clothes, are pyschologically isolated, have an us vs. them attitude...It's remarkable how we don't realize how ridiculous this all is sooner.
