This is the start of a series where I talk about how specific tactics can be used to increase suggestibility, trust, and dependency. This series will be talking about how these techniques can be used in a religious context. Disclaimer: Mind control does not mean that someone does something against there will. It is a set of tactics used to influence someone’s actions, thoughts, and behaviors. It is not ONLY used in a religious setting. It is simply the focus of this series.

    It’s what I prefer to call “suggestive manipulation” which is also seen in marketing plans. Religion does it in its own way. Marketing is being smarter. They advertise more effectively, even if it’s obvious they are liars from time to time, it’s just that annoying commercial which let’s this brand of theirs get stuck in the memory where no one wants it.

    The best defense against manipulation is recognizing that the attempt is being made. ^.^

    I find wearing a tinfoil hat is helpful, it’s worked so far anyway.
