Groupthink
by NewYork44M ini posted some information about this subject in another topic, but i thought the topic of groupthink deserves a seperate thread.
irving janis originally defined groupthink as a mode of thinking that people engage in when they are deeply involved in a cohesive in-group, when the members strivings for unanimity override their motivation to realistically appraise alternative courses of action.
" according to his definition, groupthink occurs only when cohesiveness is high.

Weird Beliefs: a first page Google hit!
by og ini used to write and produce a little radio essay show in colorado called belief systems & other bs, and one of the shorts i recorded was called weird beliefs, and was based on my experiences attaining, maintaining, defending, questioning, and ultimately denouncing all the strange ideas i had to keep in mind in order to be, then stop being, a jw.
here's an excerpt:.
"that may be the point; one purpose of weird beliefs is to serve as barriers to entry.

Satan induces 1/3rd of angels to rebel but 99% of humans to die at Armagedd
by yadda yadda 2 inin revelation 12, the dragon (satan) is said to hurl a third of the stars to the earth, representing a third of the angels that satan induces to also rebel against jehovah.. if man is only made a 'little lower' than the angels, how is it that satan manages to get jehovah to slaughter just about all of humankind for eternity at armageddon, according to jw theology?.
shouldn't the percentage of rebel whose fate is eternal death, both angelic and human, be roughly the same?.

"Harvesting the Earth"
by cameo-d inseems like its always the end of the world for somebody.... there have been other holocausts barely mentioned in mainstream and yet they have been significant historical events.
( asians, chinese, russians,.... many civilizations even in the past century...millions have already been killed in holocaust actions; and some of these events were greater in number than the holocaust of germany.
perhaps because world communications were not as it is today, most people at the time it was happening may have been kept in the dark concerning these things.. seems like the earth is "continually" being harvested.
