I would appreciate seeing that link. There's is a lot of discussion on that issue. Just what is brainwashing, is there even such a thing, what is the exact definition. Heck, I see a sort of brainwashing going on all the time. We're brainwashed by T.V., by the media, by Hollyweird. Maybe brainwashing is too strong of a word, I think mind-control covers it pretty good. What was worse about the COG/FOG is how we were isolated from family and friends and any outside influence. I think that is the worst thing that could have happened because our independent thinking became suspended in time somewhere and the info we got was group sponsored or group approved. We couldn't even read the newspaper. Our only friends or relationships were in the group. It was so strange leaving and trying to establish new friendships and relationships that weren't based on cult dogma or language or ways of thinking. Anyway, do find that link and post it here so we can read it. Maybe we can add it to the resource section.
