Where do you live if I may ask? The internet and other forms of communication are indeed powerful tools to fight against indoctrination... but I don't think it could compete with the social pressures that come at one from a very young age, especially in communities where those who don't believe might literally be ostracized. |
Live in Netherlands now but grown up in Belgium,Netherlands has the bigger amount of christians but both of these countries have broken down those social pressures that supports indoctrination by a lot and that trend you see all across Europe,not at the same measures but still progressive.Indoctrination still exists and without goverment involvement it will be a stubborn practice to die out completely.
Witnesses of Jehova are still some weird cultlike community here,always used to come one of two of them at my door every two weeks to try to talk me into their group of people and i always welcomed one of those in my house to have a chat just because i find it interesting to know how those people are.
But after i started noticing the empty eyes combined with a not fitting smile it also started to scare me,it was like i was talking to a puppet.
