  This chart succinctly describes the differences between education, advertising, propaganda, indoctrination, and thought control.

  http://www.workingpsychology.com/ethics2.html

  My own assessment of the Society, using this chart, is as follows:

  Relationship & Exchange
  Authoritarian & hierarchical but also consensual & contractual
  Indoctrination

  Deceptiveness
  Infrequently intentionally deceptive, often selective.
  Indoctrination

  Methods
  Coercive compliance (punishment) condoned.
  Indoctrination

  Goals
  (I'm not sure about this one.)

  A cohesive & effective group?
  Indoctrination

  or

  Perpetuation of the group for money or power?
  Thought Control

  or

  Sale of product or service?
  Advertising

  Hey Anchor,

  You got a problem dude? This is a discussion forum. If you want to then how about you go and stare at a blank wall?

  I have done that enough in the meetings for over 30 years!! Perhaps you need more of it.

  Hey MD,

  You're so right! I forgot The Big One:

  fear of the world

  oh, and

  fear that we stumble someone out of the Truth - bloodguilt
  fear that we stumble someone from coming into the Truth - bloodguilt
  fear of being labeled irregular in service
  fear of being labeled irregular in meeting attendance
  fear of being labeled independent

  Lord, the list is almost endless. At first, new ones don't recognize the fears/phobias. After you've been "in" a short time, the fear indoctrination starts.....and never stops.

  And the fear of never being good enough. That's a Big One too.
