MIND CONTROL By ORTHODOX Religions |
MIND CONTROL by ORTHODOX Religions
For the first twenty years of my life I was a Missouri
Synod Lutheran. For six years during grade school, I had to
attend church and Sunday school nearly every week. Every
Saturday I was forced to WASTE a lot of time memorizing Bible
verses and quotations from Martin Luther, for recitation
during Sunday school. Most of these memorizations were about
Lutheran DOCTRINE, rather than Christian living. This is
MIND-CONTROL.
For two years during 7th and 8th grades, I had to spend
Saturday mornings attending "Confirmation Class". During
each of those two years we had to go through a long list of
memorizations (MIND-CONTROL) for the class.
Several times during the second year we had to get up in
front of the congregation and recite quotations or respond to
questions fired at us by the preacher. The intensity of such
experiences makes them a form of MIND-CONTROL. So was the
public "Confirmation" ceremony at the end of the two years.
All of this was backed up by stated and implied promises
of Heaven and THREATS of ETERNAL TORTURE in Hell. They
actually had me believing that a God of LOVE would send
people to BURN IN HELL FOREVER just for failing to believe
the teachings. Such a SCARE-TACTIC is the ULTIMATE form of
MIND-CONTROL.
And I was sent to these MIND-CONTROL sessions by people
(my parents) on whom I was COMPLETELY DEPENDENT for ALL of my
living needs--food, clothing, shelter, EVERYTHING.
The MIND-CONTROL tactics described above are really NO
less extreme than those allegedly used by the "Moonies", and
the result is THE SAME.
Fortunately, UN-like most people, I was able to DE-PROGRAM
MYSELF. The trigger came in mid-1968 when I read the book
"Edgar Cayce--The Sleeping Prophet" and came to the chapter
about REincarnation. Since then, I have been learning the
TRUTH about many important things--religious, political,
historical, economic, even "scientific", in spite of a
continuous barrage of BRAINWASHING official-LIES and
HALF-truths from the government, CONTROLLED news media and
"education" systems.
The reason there seems to be little interest so far in
Eckankar, Sant Mat, etc., is because most people have been so
thoroughly BRAINWASHED by orthodox teachings.

I am so glad that *my* world isn't so full of *weak minds*
Nor am I, BUT I do believe that each individual follower of Christ, DID
see
all thing fulfilled, just as I have seen most of prophecy already
fulfilled,
some VERY literally, some so vague that I nearly missed them !
It isn't something which the whole world has, or will experience exactly
the
same way or all at once ! (Gen.1:9-10) the 'whole earth' / or the 'whole
world' (world being the human system, you live in) for that matter
means,
the whole planet.
I forgot who it was, or what religion he started, but there was a man
(oft
thought of as a 'false-prophet' around the turn of the 19th-20th
century,
whose followers were told by him that the world, as they knew it was
going
to end, and Christ was coming to rapture them, on some exact date, to
the
people on their roofs waiting His return... 'nothing
happened',,,,,,BUT,,,,,,inside one of those houses they were sitting,
their
'false-prophet' DIED on the date he thought Christ was to return......

Gee...20 yrs lost. And to think it's a miracle you somehow remembered
the first 5 yrs.
And anyways, since Lutheran Doctrine rests solely on the Bible, how can
it not be anything but about the Christian faith and life? The Biblical
teaching and Biblical doctrine is the same thing.
This is MIND-CONTROL..
Wanna see mind-control visit your nearest public school, any Planned
Parenthood, or neighborhood communist government such as China or North
Korea.

Well, I must say reading your post has alerted me to the following. Beware
of people who liberally use ALLCAPS in any post. You seem to have traded
one fantasy for another.
