  jerry bergman, ph.d. .

  the first american study.

  the watchtower influence was often not positive, and there was no evidence that it had in the long run helped those who had emotional problems when they joined.

  Watchtower installs a "Trojan Horse" in their followers and take over their brain

  by TastingFreedom in

  2. friends

  i'm convinced jw's are under sooo much brainwashing and fully indoctrinated that their brains are disabled.

  they will never analyze or question any beliefs.

  it is all about the emotions, their brains are literally paralyzed.

  Do you believe in reincarnation?

  by TastingFreedom in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  reincarnation, literally "to be made flesh again", is the belief that the soul, after death of the body, comes back to earth in another body.

  according to one belief, a new personality is developed during each life in the physical world, but the soul remains constant throughout the successive lives.[1].

  belief in reincarnation has ancient roots.

  Art that expresses feelings as victims of the Jehovah's Witness cult

  by TastingFreedom in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  some may think that mind control is forceful manipulation of a person.

  it is possible to create a "frankenstein" by coercive manipulation and thought control.

  it is a process in which an organization, a group or individual systematically uses unethically manipulative methods to persuade others to conform to the wishes of the manipulator(s), often to the detriment of the person being manipulated.
