  Brainwashing

  brainwashing.

  a systematic, coercive effort to alter an individual's beliefs and attitudes, usually by physical and/or psychological means; also referred to as "thought control.".

  brainwashing has been used predominantly in reference to severe programs of political indoctrination, although it is used occasionally in connection with certain religious, especially cultic, practices.

  ah, field service .

  that joy of knocking on a total stranger's doors to try to sell them on your own religious doctrines.

  isn't it joyful?

  i've always been curious about this.

  i'm an ex-jw with serious god issues but enough about me.

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  a few years ago we lived in a different city and my wife and i had a battle when a jw would come to the door.

  my wife liked to hide and like to answer the door and talk to them.

  i am rather stubborn that way.

  Do YOU answer the door now?

  by christopherceo in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  when i left the org the elders would come by at the most inopportune time at least every day sometimes twice.

  i never answered the door, i just continued doing whatever it was i was doing and ignored the pounding at the door knowing it ticked them off because they knew i was home.

  when the witnesses randomly come to my door now i still don't answer but have thought about it just to give them hell.
