if you were to tell a witness that they were "brainwashed" or that they were "under mind control", they certainly would not rationally accept it.the reason is because witnesses cannot distinguish between mind control and "obeying the faithful and discreet slave".
it is only after a person stops exposing himself to the subtle mind controlling tactics of the watchtower that a person can see how thoroughly duped they are in their beliefs.
how might you be able to tell that you are no longer your own person, able to make your own decisions in your life?
>The really sad thing is...they cannot help themselves. Actually they can and do help themselves.. I helped myself.. I take it you helped yourself.. This forum is full of people who got out.. I really wish I could "help them" but there is no amount of arguing, large or small, that is going to budge a staunch Witness mind. I had to make the choice. I had to do the work. No one else could've possibly influenced me when I was in. Witnesses are very proud because they believe they have it all figured out. They sincerely believe it. When someone "has it all figured out" they tend to become blind to external signs that indicate a need to examine things more closely. They become deaf because they are conditioned to not really analyze anything said by a "worldly person" or Siva forbid, an "Apostate"<gasps>. To them you are not a person. You are a potential Witness. Personally, I am so incredibly grateful for the 15 years that I was in the cult. Without all that time growing up in their prison, I wouldn't be who I am right now. I wouldn't have such great appreciation for dissent and sarcasm and honest communication were I not cut off from these things. I wouldn't so appreciate the fact that I don't have it all figured out. That I will never have it all figured out. That the mind can be dynamic, constantly changing it's ideas and beliefs. That I am not required by anyone to think a certain way. That I cannot be confined. For me, that's paradise. Shawn
