Hey where can i find more info about the Rocky Mountain church you mention. Also, by using the phrase 'clear words' and acronym 'MEST' marcotai, with whom you had a dialogue about a year ago, is probably revealing that s/he is a Scientologist, since 'word clearing' is a concept in which they are indoctrinated. To 'clear' a word one must use a regular dictionary to look up the definition, or a Scientology dictionary, which gives words' supposedly superior definitions penned by L. Ron Hubbard.

@7dmv There's a great indie documentary film called "Join Us" that has a lot of info about the church and other info about cults in America. Good watch but very disturbing for some. watch?v=On8NKZZvmqQ

Human mind is based on concepts not words!

The highest level of reasoning is complete differentiation of them.

Words are just agreed-upon symbols USED to communicate concepts.

The literalness with which the person believes to think is an index of the amount of aberration (inability to rationalize) in the case.

Words have no power in themselves, I dont believe in black magic.

You should clear words like dichotomy, analogy and logic in a good dictionary

because you are using them wrongly.

"Human mind is based on concepts not words!"

You've said this, and provided nothing to back up your claims, just faulty logic.

"Words have no power in themselves, I dont believe in black magic."

Logical fallacy again: guilt by associations. Because black magicians use the "power of words" doesn't make any well established mental science that refers to words erroneous.

You're using wrongly wrong. Also; I am not using the words wrong. Google: Logical Fallacies so see context.

[marcotai]

Do you know what is the great difference between

concepts and words?

Anyway, Happy New Year.

[machwon]

"What is wrong with you?"

Appeal to ridicule and ad-hominem.

Sir are you aware you use a plethora of logical fallacies? I suggest you take some time out of your day and learn how to constructively properly debate without out using fallacious thought stopping techniques.

I'm fascinated by this whole area as it starts to explain just how otherwise reasonable people can turn into monsters by the brianwashing tactics used by cults. The Milgram experiment showed that most people are frighteningly easilly influenced by authority figures to inflict pain on others.

This information is vital - knowlwegde is your shield.

Scientology completely redefines the meaning of the word "ethics":

"The purpose of Ethics is:

TO REMOVE COUNTER-INTENTIONS FROM THE ENVIRONMENT.

And having accomplished that the purpose becomes

TO REMOVE OTHER-INTENTIONEDNESS FROM THE ENVIRONMENT.

Thus progress can be made by all "

Dude you need to finish this off.

You forgot the increasing reliance of the government and media on loaded language too. That's all they ever talk in these days.

But then, when you look at Sun Myung Moon's huge stake in American government and media, it's no surprise.  America is a cult within a cult.

[laserofjustice]

The redefinition of words or invention of new words only undestood within a cult are very common techniques used to limit critical thinking.

In the cult of $cientology- non $cientologists are refered to as "wogs" (a demeaning and originally a rascist insult). Anyone who criticises the cult is called a suppressive person. This is the way a cult labels people to artificially separate critical thinkers from cult members.

Cults hate the free flow of information- the internet is their enemy!

[krissy4nik]

I agree a word has no meaning other than what the people around agree to give it and our minds for a concept around that word.The issue is groups like the one you belong to give these words new meanings making them unable to effectively communicate with those outside of the group. That strengthens the groups bond and makes outsiders seem unintelligent much like when tom cruise told matt lauer he was glib. If here were to say well whats glib that would make him seem even more glib.

what is that footage of the rocky mountain church from?
