Actually this is the only power the organization truly has, to take away all social interaction with previous friends and family. The longer you're associated, the tougher it becomes. Find new friends not involved in a cult for starters and enjoy true adult interactions. Time does heal these wounds.

7 things we probably should not stop thinking about
by Terry inbelieve what we will, we still live in the real world and what happens to us proceeds from confrontations unavoidable.. the christian scientist can die from an illness which (to him) does not exist.. the hindu can starve to death in a pasture full of sacred cattle.. the jehovah's witness can sell his house and pioneer full time as he tears the pages from his 1975 calendar in exasperation.. and many is the parent who prays for mercy over the child who dies.. to think or not think is our choice.
the content of our thought can be real or illusory.
the progress report comes at the end of each day as we lie in bed and count the costs of our beliefs.. .

Well here is a Number 8 for the group. What is it that the GB doesn't do that any other classic cult does to control its members?

Here is another point you might want to consider. The scripture reads when the Disgusting Thing stands in the Holy Place. If false religion is the WT interruption of the Holy Place we have a problem. There is nothing in scripture that is called Holy that would be used to describe something that is appalling to the Lord. Everything about this interruption falls short when also attached to the generation that would not pass away, with those seeing the start of all this in 1914.
