  Study Finds Education Enhances Personal Conscience & Diminishes Obedience

  by Scully in

  i've been reading a fascinating book recently called the sociopath next door by martha stout, phd.

  there are some really interesting things about how "conscience" is what distinguishes 'normal' people from sociopaths, in that sociopaths have no conscience, no empathy, and in many cases can do whatever they want, with no emotional repurcussions that we might experience if we were to do something that caused harm to someone else.. she cites the famous obedience experiments by stan milgram, where the subject was required to administer shocks to another person who was believed to be a co-subject in a "learning" experiment, but who was actually a confederate of milgram's.

  the actual subject of the study was instructed to "teach" sets of words to the "learner"/confederate and administer shocks when the "learner" made an error, with the shock setting increasing incrementally with each error that was made.

  I m sure there is a dept in the WT dedicated to the study of keeping the weak minds in check. If they are knowingly inducing fear tactics (and it seems they do know what they are doing) then the shocking teachings of "further education" and the like, are still further proof to us all that the "cult" mentality they continue to propergate must eventully become exposed. An intresting post.

  according to today's speaker: up till 1971 there had only been 24 people killed by terrorists.

  by 1983 there had been 17,000 and it's still on the rise.

  my question: what is the definition of terrorism?

  Print out what evilforce said and place it on the announcements board at the back of the hall. What an absolute load of crap the "truth?" is. As for the sis who thinks all the info is new, maybe she has the memory of a goldfish, about 7 seconds!

  the first thing out of his mouth was the bombing in london and how this is the worst bombing since ww11.

  then he made the comment "i wonder what this is going to lead to.

  " I wanted to vomit thinking that I used to sound just like that."

  It sends shivers down my spine when I think how bad I used to sound. They love to watch the news, it confirms that this indeed soooo close to "The End" and soon we are going to live forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever...............................................................etc,etc.

  First time on here- DF'd almost 3 years ago

  by feelinglost in

  i have toyed around with the idea of finding fellow df'd ones for about a year now.

  i recently got married, and of course it has made me look at how it feels like i gave up one life for another.

  the only member of my family who is a jw is my mother- and it kills me that we pretty much no longer have a relationship.
