When i was still in the cult i reckon i spent 90% of the meetings/assemblys mentaly asleep. At one time i did try to concentrate on the talks, but just kept drifting away. I even perfected the art of looking intently at the speaker while mentaly thinking up to-do lists, shopping lists and composing emails.
Is it just me or not? what do we reckon is the percentage of peeps who are actauly listening in the meetings?
I think most are trained monkeys.....
Seriously, when I am in a meeting I automatically start taking notes.......mindlessly.
Why? Because I was trained to do so.....
How true! But I'm even practicing sleeping through the meeting with my eyes open.
It worked during the convention on most talks. Only to be woken up by the clapping.
YAWWWWNNNN!
Unlike school/university, there is no need for you to actually learn anything.
If ever a question/decision arises, members can just ask the nearest handler what they should do.
It's best if the cult member does not think for himself. He or she should parrot the party line and not cause dissent.
In Combatting Cult Mind Control, Steve Hassan says that cults will purposefully speak hypnotically and put their listeners to sleep. It's an indoctrination technique and the WTS is as good at it as any high control group.
Is ANYONE Listening???!!
HUH?
