The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis
by Band on the Run ini never heard of c.s.
lewis growing up (he also wrote science fiction christian books, such as the narnia chronicles, perlandra, a grief observed and mere christianity, the best easy summation of christianity i've ever come across).

Fading vs. D'F'd
by Band on the Run ini don't know the details.
is it true that if you slowly withdraw, you are free to go but if you are active and do an offense, you are shunned.
is their principle whether you are appropriating and blemishing the name vs. severity of the actual offense.

Analytical Skills
by Band on the Run init seems to me that if people were taught reasoning skills they would be immunized to cults like the witnesses.
school should teach reasoning.
mere recitation of facts is not sufficient today.
