i saw this on pinterest, and it made me think about the great global preaching campaign of august 2014. this is what i think whenever i absentmindedly take a flyer from someone.. .

when someone hands you a flyer it's like they're saying "here you throw this away.

i was lent a wt yesterday and asked where i could get my own copy.

i learned that you print your own or get a tablet.. i couldn't determine if the congregation actually receives hardcopies anymore.. what's a poor brother to do?

ink's expensive and tablets .

It was bound to happen. WT will spin it as conservation as if they care about the earth and deforestation.

Meanwhile, each congregation can /do receive WT study editions. Compound, it may be that the cong. you attend is full of JWs that have tablets, ipads, printers and don't order many issues. Tell them at the " literature" counter that you would like to receive a hard copy and they will order it. Do you really want one?

hi, to everyone my username is enzo, .

recently a saw a video presented by john cedar presenting steve hassan as a cult expert.. .

but read this reviews presented on cult news about steve hassan's books, and it's up to you make your own opinion about the video.

Snap, Enzo. Both times I wrote Enzo. Repetition helps not only with indoctrination into a cult, it also helps autocorrect to recognize your name, Enzo!

Is there any correlation between the two? If you think there is you may be reading too much into it.

What were we discussing?

Whether or not Steven Hassan is court recognized.

And

you think Cedars is promoting Steve Hassan as quid pro quo.

Do you or have you ever networked? You meet colleagues in same or similar fields, etc. Steve Hassan was part of a discussion of undue influence with Cedars/ Lloyd Evans, Bo Juel Jensen and others ( not all JWs) that were cult victims who have some knowledge and first hand experience, etc.

You were asked to name some books on the subject but you offered a site and not a personal recommendation.

I've read Hassan's books. While I think they offer good information, there's no promise or guarantee that his methods are 100%.

Enzo, have you ever seen a movie you've liked, read a book you've loved, had a dining experience in a restaurant or traveled somewhere that you couldn't stop talking about because you wanted others to experience it too?

People who recognize they are in/ have been in a cult look for answers how they got indoctrinated and/or how they can help their family/ friends out. His books offer answers, not necessarily all of them for everyone, but answers nevertheless.
