Actual brainwashing involves subtle manipulation techniques. But the average JW (along with victims of other high-control groups) will say, “of course I wasn’t brainwashed” because a moustachioed villain didn’t spin a spiral in front of them.

18Accepting the reason why the Watchtower Corporation and its top leaders are endeavored to brainwash people
by Rocketman123 intaking a close look at the operation of the jws religion you can observe technics of brainwashing orchestrated through the literature the wts publishes for its members such as the watchtower .. everything these men have done had calculating agendas, which were to firstly attract attention to the literature they published, to cultivate power toward themselves, to intentionally take control over people's lives and of course draw in money.. brainwashing (also known as mind control, menticide, coercive persuasion, thought control, thought reform, and re-education) is the concept that the human mind can be altered or controlled by certain psychological techniques.
brainwashing is said to reduce its subjects' ability to think critically or independently,[1] to allow the introduction of new, unwanted thoughts and ideas into their minds,[2] as well as to change their attitudes, values and beliefs.

Also minimus:
I am soo sick of the “ woke “ generation. Just go awayyyyy.
Oh the irony. Sounds like you want everyone to just do the ‘reasonable’ thing and like all the things you like. 😂
Other than choosing to be riled up by a mixture of real and imagined ‘woke’ complaints found in the media, very little of what the ‘woke’ crowd says or does actually affects you in any way.

In actuality, they imagine they have the right to keep track of former members right up until their death, with the date of their death being recorded in congregation records. -

Oh, a personal attack. What a surprise. But try to be cleverer please.
Funny how attacking a cartoon character is a global tragedy but attacking actual people is fine. 🤦♂️

Jeffro sees no real evidence of anything really happening here. It’s just “nonsense” .
There you go manufacturing my position again. But I actually said that both sides are trivial divisive nonsense. Obviously this includes the assessment of harmless tropes as ‘offensive’. A cartoon from the 1950s, that you otherwise rarely think about, falling out of popularity in itself is indeed trivial. It is the divisive nonsense itself that is harmful.
It is telling that a single paywalled opinion piece in one newspaper is trumpeted worldwide by the Murdoch press though.

this is a sobering reminder of what happened some 40 years ago when raymond franz and others were literally kicked out from the jehovah's witnesses for having pre-arranged private spiritual discussions.lesson: paragraph 7 is another example of the i and t in dr. steven hassan's bite model of the 21st century cult - information and thought control at its best!!!!
"my gosh, there must be a lot of independent meetings these days.

In our congregation, our elder used to conduct a weekly session to understand the Pure Worship (Ezekiel) book, every Saturday, which sometimes used to run to 3 hrs! Ones who didn't attend were even counseled.
Material to help people understand the Pure Worship book is available here.

There a few things in that batch of announcements suggesting JWs are increasingly ignoring ‘theocratic direction’. A fairly predictable outcome of less direct coercion at ‘meetings’, hopefully a trend that will continue.

It’s interesting that a lot Murdoch news is also generally paywalled but this trivial divisive nonsense is openly available.

The original op-ed piece is behind a paywall and not worth my time or money. Though it seems this thread is based on responses in the Murdoch press rather than the original source. Both sides of the ‘debate’ are trivial divisive nonsense.

Minimus:
Maybe Jeffro works for Coca Cola?? Or has a lot of stock in it. He can be shown all types of sources and he still says the same thing. So be it. So if he has a stake in Coke it all makes sense. Or if he loves the taste of Coke he doesn’t want the whiteness thing to affect his enjoyment of the product.
I suppose in your mind your own nutty speculation about me counts as ‘evidence’ 🤣 The only thing I have ‘stock’ in in relation to this trivial matter is a rational approach to assessing claims. This matter in itself is unimportant, but the propensity for people to not only just accept a story, but to belittle anyone who disagrees with unsubstantiated claims is a much more significant problem. It is not surprising that some people who once accepted JW claims are still falling victim to the same kind of faulty thinking.
The only position I have taken in this fiasco is that no evidence has been provided that a specific LinkedIn Learning training course was mandatory. I haven’t said it definitely didn’t happen. I haven’t endorsed the training course in question, or ‘diversity’ training generally. I’ve been told that there’s pictures and screenshots proving it was mandatory but on requesting that evidence, it is not provided. The only sources are resyndicated versions of the same story, repeating the same original claims. And yet I’m the one who is attacked because I don’t just ‘listen and believe’. All hail the Murdoch press! 🤣
