Of course, schizophrenia, as defined in the biochemical and medical sense, is a clinically diagnosable disease, not a "conditioning" such as we experienced with the WTS. In that sense, the analogy breaks down.
But it's the psychological dynamic of the analogy that intrigued me...rather like Larry said:
who really are the sane people. Is it the world calling people insane or is it the insane being oblivious to the insanity of the world.
What schizophrenics "see" is as real to them as anything we see. And, as JWs, we "saw" things that were so real to us, and which by far the majority of other "normal" people, when we told them what we "saw," could only shake their heads and say "these people are crazy."
As exJWs, we "see" things {{very clearly}}, and are equally convinced that what we see is now, finally, after all our delusions, reality.
The movie offers a two-edged sword; the "resolution" of the dilemna is purely personal.
