  Exposing psychological manipulation

  by Ténébreux in

  not sure if this has been discussed before (probably) but this is something that just occurred to me:.

  religions and cults employ some very well documented psychological techniques to deceive, persuade and control people - logical fallacies, thought-reform, etc.

  techniques which can be easily identified in action when one is aware that they exist.

  Memorial 2007

  well i just got back from the memorial, after being dragged along somewhat reluctantly.

  during the talk, one statement in particular caught my attention which i hadn't heard previously.

  the speaker was explaining why probably no-one there should be partaking of the matzo and wine, because on the night of the passover jesus began selecting his 144000 heavenly co-rulers starting with the 11 apostles who were present - and that from then on, most of jesus' other followers just observed and did not partake, recognizing that they were of the earthly class.

  sorry everyone, this was so stupid i just had to post it - apologies if it has been discussed before.

  this is something that has been doing the email rounds in local congregations - the stone from nebuchadnezzar's dream, as depicted by the wts over the years:1958, "your will be done on earth", page 112. the stone is still quite a good distance away.1999, "pay attention to daniel's prophecy", page 58. the stone is now quite close.2004, "keep on the watch", page 15. crunch.. .

  woooooooooo... scary stuff !
