Recently I spoke with a former member. As with most former members he was very unhappy with how he had been mislead by the WMSCOG. Instead of sulking or hiding in a corner he started researching the psychological practices and indoctrination of the WMSCOG. It turns out that one of the terms they use is, “God Bless You.” I later found out that members are expected not to say thank you to one another because you don’t want your reward here on Earth but in Heaven. Instead they say God Bless You. This respectable Christian term of endearment is being used as a trigger to reset members minds into this groups thought process and teachings. I know this to be true because my loved one was constantly being called at all times of the day and night by other members. They would start their conversations with this and end with this. My loved on would not be the same after these conversations.Check this out for yourself. If you’re a member document very carefully how many times you hear this and ask yourself why? It’s a tool used for mind control. Do some research. You’ll see for yourself.
You accused me of trying to lead others astray essentially that is accusing me of intentionally doing Satan's will. Somehting I have NEVER said of a single person on this earth.
I am not fighting what you said. I want to know what you think specially is a trigger word and what it is doing to us.

I too have a problem with the term "brainwashing". It brings to mind the North Korean/Chinese Communist techniques applied to our servicemen captured in the Korean war. Techniques employed by David Koresh, Jim Jones, Sun Myung Moon and the leaders of WMSCOG are more refined. Basically, what makes these groups "cults" as opposed to "churches" is a more sophisticated approach to creating emotional/mental dependencies on the group and its leaders/teachers/members. While I have my issues with Mormonism, 7th Day Adventism and similar churches, I don't consider them cults per se, although some of their practices are cult like. What differentiates them from cults is the level or degree of control exercised by the group over the individual members. WMSCOG uses words like "study" to hide the real meaning of "memorization". Being familiar with some of their techniques (and they are similar to Jones, Koresh, and Moon) there are many Biblical passages taken out of context by church "teachers" and used to point to doctrines like "heavenly mother", "christ ahnsanghong", etc espoused by the church leaders. Members, like my child, are expected to memorize them. This is more akin to the propaganda practices of Hitler Youth and the Communist Party. However it is extremely important for WMSCOG to get attendance of members up to as often as 4 or 5 days a week. This is vital towards creating and reinforcing the dependency and control which is all important to their practice of "religion".

I know that in 1 Zion, everyone is practically preaching each subject the same exact way. Even down to the pictures & charts drawn. When I was preach Secret of the Forgiveness of Sin, one Sister interrupted me, erased everything I had written on the board & drew it how everyone else drew it. It upset me so much that I didn’t continue unless I could teach it the way I always did. Ever since I changed Zooms & am able to compare, I have seen too many differences. But it is very weird that at this Zion, everyone has to teach exactly the same or they can’t pass the course.
