| | CESNUR - Richardson: Brainwashing and Daubert |
| | Richardson, J. Sociology, "brainwashing" claims about new religions, and freedom of religion. | | | Some would apparently say that anyone in a new religion has been brainwashed, by definition, because otherwise it is not logical that they would choose to participate in such strange groups (Singer, 1979; Clark, 1978). | | | Given the problematic nature of scientific support for brainwashing based theories as they are applied to participants in new religions, it is reasonable to ask why such evidence was ever admitted, and why it is sometimes still admitted (Richardson, 1996; Anthony and Robbins, 1995). |

| | Brainwashing is an involuntary re-education of the fundamental beliefs of the individual. | | | POWs who feared that every act or thought of resistance would be communicated to camp administrators, lost faith in their fellow man and were forced to untrusting individualism. | | | Elicitation for the purpose of brainwashing consists of questioning, argument, indoctrination, threats, cajolery, praise, hostility and a variety of other pressures. |

| | PlanetPapers - Cult Conversion: Freewill Or Brainwashing? |
| | The controversy surrounding new religious movements seems to be foremost concerned with whether or not the members of these religions come of their own freewill or if they convert as a necessary and inevitable response to advanced coercion, or “brainwashing” techniques employed by the cult leaders. | | | Although scholars of new religious movements would agree that religious groups often have substantial influence over their followers, they would also argue that the “influence exerted in "cults" is not very different from influence that is present in practically every arena of life,” (19 Oct 1999). | | | In the 1960’s and 1970’s the brainwashing debate again took center stage, this time in an attempt to explain the behaviour of so-called radicals who left behind a “normal” life and opted instead for a “cult” existence. |

| | The Brainwashed Defense By Dahlia Lithwick |
| | Is the American belief that cults and new religions routinely brainwash their adherents rooted in science or is it merely a marker for a Western intolerance toward novel or strange religions? | | | Perhaps because brainwashing became so much a part of mainstream popular culture; perhaps because it offers a "scientific" explanation for religions we cannot accept. | | | With their new affection and tolerance for cults (now respectfully renamed "new religious movements") and a dearth of empirical evidence that evil geniuses can force innocents to do what they would not normally do, the scientists aren't around to testify. |

| | I feel strongly that this is one of the major reasons for the increasing rise in Christian fundamentalism, especially the televised variety, while most of the orthodox religions are declining. | | | Any attempt to induce worship feelings from outside in of the physical body is distilled paganism and a violation of The Command, example and inferences of Jesus. | | | Any attempt to influence the Spirit from outside except through the Words of Christ as Spirit to spirit communication is an attempt to brainwash people through the human senses of sight, smell and sound. |

| | The author addresses this issue of "relativism" or "moral incommensurability" in the book, and acknowledges that there is a temptation to believe that it serves to enhance respect for other opinions. | | | This harm can be minimized according to the author by using the methods of politics. | | | The author therefore rejects moral relativism, leaving judgments as to what kind of ideas are the most sensible to be those that reflect what the majority of people actually desire. |
