Hi cookiemaster, Can you convince your parents to conduct a home Bible Study? Your objective would be to help your parents to identify how the Pharisees and Sadducees used BITE control techniques to victimize Jews and how Jesus Christ felt about it. DO NOT draw parrallels to the WTBTS. Let your parents critically think for themselves and make their own conclustions. Help and encourage your parents to use internet searches to do independent research of the WTBTS. According to a Watchtower in 1989, I believe, the truth is still the truth even if Satan says it.
If you do not know how to identify BITE control techniques, please visit Steve Hassan's website www.freedomofmind.com and watch his FREE videos on his website. I recommend watching the following videos:
- Strategic Interactive Approach explained 2003 (1:23:23)
- The BITE Model (Behavior Information Thought Emotion) (5:03)

Peace be with you and everyone, who you love,
Robert
