social psychology and group dynamics.
studies have shown that todays cults use a stronger form of control than those of 50 years ago.
the advent of new psychological experiments in the 60s and 70s have produced the modern methods of mind control which are far more sophisticated than the behaviour modification techniques and thought reform developed by the chinese.
A lot of this info is culled from already existing data regarding the psychology of groups and social psychology. If anyone is interested you can find paradigms of group dynamics from any soc psych texts,or organizational psych texts,&journals. Tina

i wrote this to randy walters last year and would like your views on it.. .
dear randall.
i have a lot to say but won't bore with the details, a brief introduction would be appropriate.
actually who,
mommieD is spot on. What you described is sleep paralysis and terrors.
You reject any other explanation out of hand,because you're determined and looking for validation of a demonic answer. Aint no such thing. I suggest you read up on these experiences,you will find everything you mentioned in them.
And the ad hominem wasnt necessary,but folks like you who dont hear what they want to hear usually pull that. Tina

i have always had trouble breathing.
in track i was great for a quick burst of speed in the 50 yard dash, but couldn't move enough air in and out to keep myself going for the longer runs like the 330. i had sleep apnea really bad, with the classic symptoms where i stopped breathing for a while and then suddenly snorted myself awake gasping for breath.
for most of my life, surgery wasn't an option due to my jw lifestyle and employment choices (cleaning business = no insurance).

for the majority of humans, certain events are surrounded by tradition and ritual.
marriage, the birth of children, entrance into adulthood, and death are all life-events which will be marked by most with a form of religious ceremony.
for the few who have left off affiliation with a religious organization, these events are marked differently - more by tradition than by mystic ritual.
I've always wanted to tell YK something. I couldnt on h20,so here goes.
YK you are a total hateful asshole,you always were and still are.

in one of the threads i read today, they were talking about looking into your eyeballs to diagnose cancer and the like.
also selling herbs.. my comment and question is this: it seemed like in my congregation and the surrounding ones, alot of the sisters were into kineseology, reflexology, herbs, vitamins, color therapy, aroma therapy, etc.. alot of touchy feely hippie crap.
while i personally agree that there needs to be more synergy with eastern and western medicines, it would appear reading the boards that alot of witnesses are into this sort of stuff.. is this your experience?
Hi running man,
Well stated!! Extraordinary claims should be backed by extraordinary evidence regarding alternative(complimentary) treatments,regards,Tina
