WRONG.
1) HYPNOSIS - Inducing a high state of suggestibility, often thinly disguised as relaxation or meditation.
a. Repetitive Music (most likely with a beat close to the human heart 45 to 72 beats per minute). Most likely used during "study sessions" as the teacher will say the music helps you relax and concentrate better! (HYMNS)
b. Voice Roll -- A "voice roll" is a patterned, paced style used by hypnotists when inducing a trance. It is also used by many lawyers, several of whom are highly trained hypnotists, when they desire to entrench a point firmly in the minds of the jurors. A voice roll can sound as if the speaker were talking to the beat of a metronome or it may sound as though he were emphasizing every word in a monotonous, patterned style. The words will usually be delivered at the rate of 45 to 60 beats per minute, maximizing the hypnotic effect. (PREACHER)
c. Room "Feel" - The way a room feels is essential to hypnotizing unknowing subjects. It needs special lighting, florescent lights are best because they aren't too dim, but aren't too harsh. Also, Room Temp helps a bit, usually a little cooler than normal room temperature. You need to have the unknowing subjects very relaxed, perhaps even close to falling asleep. (CHURCH)
2) PEER GROUP PRESSURE - Suppressing doubt and resistance to new ideas by exploiting the need to belong. (CHECK)
3) "LOVE BOMBING" - Creating a sense of family through physical touch, thought & feeling sharing and emotional bonding. (CHECK)
4) REJECTION OF OLD VALUES - Accelerating acceptance of new lifestyle by constantly denouncing former beliefs and values. (CHECK)
5) CONFUSING DOCTRINE - Encouraging blind acceptance and rejection of logic through complex lectures on an incomprehensible doctrine. (CHECK BIGTIME)
6) METACOMMUNICATION - Implanting subliminal messages by stressing certain key words or phrases in long, confusing lectures. (CHECK)
7) REMOVAL OF PRIVACY - Achieving loss of ability to evaluate logically by preventing private contemplation. (YOU ARE A LOWLY SINNER, UNWORTHY OF GOD’S FORGIVENESS)
8) DISINHIBITION - Encouraging child-like obedience by orchestrating child-like behaviour. (CHILDREN OF GOD/BABES IN CHRIST)
9) UNCOMPROMISING RULES - Inducing regression and disorientation by soliciting agreement to seemingly simple rules which regulate mealtimes, bathroom breaks and use of medications. (THOU SHALT NOT)
10) VERBAL ABUSE - Desensitizing through bombardment with foul and abusive language. (Physical abuse, such as torture, is the more extreme form of this.) (YOU ARE A LOWLY SINNER, UNWORTHY OF GOD’S FORGIVENESS/YOUR NAKED BODY IS DISGUSTING AND YOU’RE JUST LUCKY GOD IS SO NEAT OR HE’D SO CHUCK YOUR ASS TO HELL)
11) SLEEP DEPRIVATION AND FATIGUE - Creating disorientation and vulnerability by prolonging mental an physical activity and withholding adequate rest and sleep. (THIS ONE NOT SO MUCH UNLESS YOU INCLUDE GETTING UP EARLY FOR CHURCH ON A PERFECTLY NICE SUNDAY MORNING)
12) DRESS CODES - Removing individuality by demanding conformity to the group dress code. (“SUNDAY BEST”, “SUNDAY-GONE-TO-MEETING” CLOTHES/CATHOLIC SCHOOL GIRL OUTFITS)
13) CHANTING OR SINGING - Eliminating non-cult ideas through group repetition of mind-narrowing chants or phrases. (HYMNS, PSALMS, CREEDS, PRAYERS, ETC. ETC. ETC.)
14) CONFESSION - Encouraging the destruction of individual ego through confession of personal weaknesses and innermost feelings of doubt. (CATHOLIC CONFESSIONAL/”ONE ON ONE” WITH CLERGY/ETC)
15) FINANCIAL COMMITMENT - Achieving increased dependence on the group by 'burning bridges' to the past, through the donation of assets. (TITHING/OFFERINGS/SPECIAL OFFERINGS/SUPPORT MISSIONARIES/SEND BIBLES TO OTHER COUNTRIES/ETC)
16) FINGER POINTING - Creating a false sense of righteousness by pointing to the shortcomings of the outside world. (THE SECULAR WORLD/ SATAN’S DOMAIN/ SINFUL EARTH/ HOMOS/ PAGANS/ DEMONS/ JEWS/ LIBERALS/ HOLLYWOOD/ TELEVISION/ VIDEO GAMES/ ETC.)
17) ISOLATION - Inducing loss of reality by physical separation from family, friends, society and rational references. (CHURCH/ SUNDAY SCHOOL/ BIBLE CAMP/ ETC.)
18) CONTROLLED APPROVAL - Maintaining vulnerability and confusion by alternately rewarding and punishing similar actions. (KILLING IS BAD, EXCEPT WHEN GOD DOES IT/ ETC.)
19) CHANGE OF DIET - Creating disorientation and increased susceptibility to emotional arousal by depriving the nervous system of necessary nutrients through the use of special diets and/or fasting. Also applying drugs for these purposes fall in this category. (FASTING)
20) GAMES - Inducing dependence on the group by introducing games with obscure rules. (SUNDAY SCHOOL)
21) NO QUESTIONS - Accomplishing automatic acceptance of beliefs by discouraging questions. (CHURCH ALL THE WAY)
22) GUILT - Reinforcing the need for 'salvation' by exaggerating the sins of the former lifestyles. (YOU ARE SINFUL AND BAD, YOU ARE LUCKY GOD IS FORGIVING, BUT YOU MIGHT NOT BE FORGIVEN ANYWAY)
23) FEAR - Maintaining loyalty and obedience to the group by threatening soul, life or limb for the slightest 'negative' thought, word or deed. (HELL/ SATAN/ DEMONS/ PITCHFORK/ ETERNAL SUFFERING/ LAKE OF FIRE/ SULPHUR AND BRIMSTONE/ PITS OF HELL/ TO THE DEVIL/ ETC.)
And finally
Three Principles of Re-Education
1) REPETITION - Going through the same subject over and over again until it is known by heart.
2) ACTIVITY PEDAGOGICS - The subjects are never left alone nor give any private time of their own, they are always in activity.
3) CRITICISM AND SELF-CRITICISM - The subjects are supposed to feel uncertain; under the constant threat of being humiliated and despised.
I didn’t hear anything about bamboo. Mental “re-education” is exactly what you do.
