I found something very interesting about the Hitler Youth and how people were indoctrinated after being inspired to research it by a former member of the “church”. Let’s see what happens when we touch on what is found in the WMSCOG compared to the indoctrination of the Hitler Youth and people who followed Hitler.
Hitler: The boys were encouraged to question or even reject some authority figures, such as parents or church leaders, which appeled to many boys. They were required, however, to accept NA/ZI principles without question… They were tighty regimented by rules and regulations. [sic] http://histclo.com/youth/youth/org/nat/hitler/hitler.htm
WMSCOG: The members of the WMSCOG are encouraged to “test the spirits” [1 John 4:1] of their friends, families, and other churches. They were required, however, to accept the Zion principles without question; because that would be conspiring “to test the Spirit of the Lord” [Acts 5:9]. They were tightly regimented by rules and regulations such as Feasts, prayer times, stockings, hair styles, clothing, etc.
Hitler: In fact it could be quite dangerous in NA/ZIGermany to speak one's mind, especially on matters of interest to Hitler and theNA/ZIs. The Hitler Youth program reflected Hitler's distrust of intelectuals and lack of interest in intelectual pursuits. [sic] http://histclo.com/youth/youth/org/nat/hitler/hitler.htm
WMSCOG: It could be quite dangerous for your soul to speak one’s mind, especially on matters of interest to AhnSahngHong and Zahng Gil Jah. They must be “of one mind” [Phil 2:2] or they might fall away. The members reflected the “church’s” distrust of intellectuals and lack of interest in intellectual pursuits by excommunicating those who ask too many questions.
Hitler: One of the major ways that Hitler achieved consensus was through the creation of an extensive propaganda machine… The Ministry's aim was to ensure that the NA/ZImessage was successfully communicated through art, music, theater, films, books, radio, educational materials, and the press” (NA/ZI Propaganda). The use of propaganda served many purposes. It not only persuaded many of the people to follow the NA/ZI beliefs, it led the Germans to believe that Hitler and the NA/ZIs were helping restore Germany’s stability and power, “Propaganda also encouraged passivity and acceptance of the impending measures against Jews, as these appeared to depict the NA/ZI government as stepping in and “restoring order” (NA/ZI Propaganda).

WMSCOG: One of the major ways that the “church” achieves consensus is through the creation of an extensive propaganda machine. The We Luv U Foundation and the WMSCOG headquarters’ aim is to ensure that the “church” message was successfully communicated through art (comics), music (New Song), theater (flash performances), films (the Heavenly Play and other WMSCOG exclusive videos), books (“Truth” books exclusive to the WMSCOG), radio (New Song radio),and the press (yea…). The use of propaganda serves many purposes. It not only persuades many of the people to follow the “church’s” beliefs, it led others to believe that AhnSahnghong, Zahng Gil Jah, and their followers were helping restore the Truth that had been lost. Propaganda also encouraged passivity and acceptance of the measures against the Catholic church, as these depict God Elohim as stepping in and restoring the Truth.
I don’t want this to get too long, though it probably already has, but you get my point right? The WMSCOG has many similarities in their process of indoctrination when compared to the NA/ZIs. Sometimes you can’t recognize that it’s indoctrination until you see it from a different point of view. Clearly the Hitler Youth, NA/ZI folk, and others were indoctrinated. Now that you can see the tactics side by side it should be easier to recognize them. It might be hard to swallow but the WMSCOG is doing the very same.
