Hi everyone,
My dad shown me a VERY interesting article on Wikipedia about an American psychiatrist who drew some very interesting conclusions on how to control people's minds. See if they sound familiar!
- Milieu Control – The control of information and communication.
- Mystical Manipulation – The manipulation of experiences that appear spontaneous but in fact were planned and orchestrated.
- Demand for Purity – The world is viewed as black and white and the members are constantly exhorted to conform to the ideology of the group and strive for perfection.
- Confession – Sins, as defined by the group, are to be confessed either to a personal monitor or publicly to the group.
- Sacred Science – The group's doctrine or ideology is considered to be the ultimate Truth, beyond all questioning or dispute.
- Loading the Language – The group interprets or uses words and phrases in new ways so that often the outside world does not understand.
- Doctrine over person – The member's personal experiences are subordinated to the sacred science and any contrary experiences must be denied or reinterpreted to fit the ideology of the group.
- Dispensing of existence – The group has the prerogative to decide who has the right to exist and who does not.

Sound familiar?
Basicaly, as I read it, Jehovah's Witnesses are a class A mind controlling organisation. They fit the bill in every way. This well respected American psychiatrist would have to whole-heartedly agree!
Your thoughts?
