Have you also noticed how at the Kingdom Hall our minds were being conditioned to see the world and outsiders negatively ( Essentially that's the usual outline of a public talk) With the continued bombardment and repetition of this negative thinking we also begin to see the world and outsiders negatively, and thus the world outside the Kingdom Hall becomes a dangerous and fearful place for us.
Try this exercise each time you hear something negative at the Kingdom Hall, counteract the thought ( in your mind) with a positive viewpoint.
