Excellent points:
"save the world through genocide"
"mental virus"
I guess the GB was talking about themselves when they write about being "mentally diseased".
Cults are a virus that needs to be treated.
I'm sure glad I was healed.

Interesting! I was just telling my hubby few days ago of the possibility of the brian wiring difference between cult members and critical thinkers.

Good talk, thanks for posting, as she rightly says at the end, the first step is to get the cult member to say "WE have a problem".
JW's brains have been re-wired by the WT to not see any problem.

I thought you guys would find that interesting.
I feel like I am recreating parts of my brain since I consciously decided to leave. Does that make sense. I feel like I have to open myself up to new thought, I am learning so much...and I can think so clearly....AHHHH!
