continuation of combatting destructive mind control part i which describes what is destructive mind control and how some organizations control individuals through mind control.

part ii presents steve hassans keys to combating mind control and part iii will be about how to use/adapt steve hassans theories to overcoming the challenges of helping born-in jws.. .

before describing the keys to combating mind control, i would like to overcome an individuals natural tendency to believe that they could never be controlled, to increase their awareness to personality behaviors that they may have developed while under the influence of mind control, and how to protect themselves in the future.

2. friends
does any one know how to send emails to jws in the brooklyn behel or else where in the wtbts organization?

is the email address format [email protected]?

in this day of technology it would be very hard to believe that the wtbts doesn't use email to communicate with elders, cos, dos, branch, and bethels.

have you ever wanted to free the mind of a jw?

if you have asked yourself these types of questions, how do you feel jws would respond to receiving and reading the following flyer?

mt 23:1-14 (niv) then jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: the teachers of the law and the pharisees sit in moses seat.

so you must obey them and do everything they tell you.

but do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach.
