Guest guest Posted June 7, 1999 Report Share Posted June 7, 1999 hey list people, i went by borders books last night and sat down and read thru some of this book, Combatting Cult Mind Control by Hassan (the author is a ex-moonie) http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0892813113/o/qid=928756043/sr=2-1/002-282\ 6555-5782205 i have to highly recomend this to anyone who really want to know how cults or the Program work. This book is an execelent breakdown of techniques of mind control and the harm cults can perpetrate upon indivduals. it really made me see diffrence between brain washing and mind control (which is what A.A. practices) for first time. he doesnt mention 12-step groups in anyway, which is a shame, becasue his understanding of mind control cults reads like a breakdown of the whole 12-step movement. the thing he understands is the msot dangerous tool any cult has is languange. check it out, its worth the look. dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroups.com home: /group/12-step-free - Simplifying group communications Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 7, 1999 Report Share Posted June 7, 1999 Hi Dave: I've read the book and found it excellent as well. is currently writing another book called " Helping People Under Mind Control " . I'm sure it'll do well! I'm glad that linked some of the AA-related sites on his homepage http://www.freedomofmind.com, because the other big cult deprogrammer, Rick Ross http://www.rickross.com refuses to list AA, even if I and several others have asked him. I learned from one other gal that he gave her the same response I got when I asked that he list AA. " I haven't heard any complaints against AA " which can't be true because I know I complained about it before this other gal did. Anyway, the little voice inside my gut thinks he may have a relative or friend in a 12 step program. (who doesn't?!?)
