  "Brainwashing" does not exist

  by logansrun in

  the term "brainwashing" is sometimes thrown around this forum and i thought i'd briefly comment on it.

  the idea that a group or person can actually make you think, act and feel in a certain way is highly dubious.

  i'm not saying it's impossible, but i highly doubt that any ex-jws have ever experienced "brainwashing.

  How smart is your right foot?

  just a little diversion.

  1. while sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.. .

  2. now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand.

  Xandria esp. and Shakita, jgnat, Narkissos and others - advice appreciated

  i have followed mario's tragic story from the beginning.

  especially in this last battle he is in i have respected very much all your advice to him, especially xandria, who seems to have people at her availability with a lot of experience in this field.. mario is certainly dealing with it very well.

  what i liked mostly about all your advice regarding marina is that you encouraged him to keep control of marina legally but also let her believe she has freedom to do what she wants right now.

  i can still remember my mother telling me that.

  i had gone to her to tell her the truth.

  i tried to tell her that daniel fitzwater was not the man he pretended to be.

  I will never understand a parent that will put any adult over their child. My children knew if they came and told me God himself hurt them....he would be in for a world of hurt I am so sorry that your Mother choses to silence you

  Thanks you all. This work is something we submitted for, it is not 'our' book per se.

  I am looking forward to the next edition, John Schultz will have read it then and some other distingushed writers so there will be the blurbs from them and the review comments on the back.

  The best thing, I think is that we are going to do readings here and in Chicago.

  Confused; LOL No it is not all poetry. My work is a two short narratives and Thunders is an excerpt from Thunder Riders Folly his third novel he is working on. An anthology is a mix of poetry, prose, narratives etc.
