Many of these you can see at work in JW life. But most are prey to these at one point or another.

I liked this article, but it was kind of fluffy. The author obviously didn't research his/her facts very carefully.
Cognitive Dissonance: The phrase was coined by Leon Festinger in his 1956 book When Prophecy Fails , which chronicled the followers of a UFO cult as reality clashed with their fervent belief in an impending apocalypse. It is NOT attributable to B.F. Skinner as this author states.
Still, there were some interesting points in the article.
