| | Monotheism, Messiah, and Mormon's Book |
 | | As we attempt to understand the multiple lines of thought that were present in Jerusalem on the eve of the Deuteronomic reform, the figure of Asherah becomes an important gauge of both theological change, and the time reference for that change. | | | In fact, what we find is multiple strands of theological thought that are in conflict, with the Deuteronomic reform elevating a particular strand of thought in contradiction to what had been acceptable though much of Israel's history. | | | What Lehi and Nephi believed to have been removed in the Deuteronomic reform receives compensatory emphasis in Nephi's foundational theology for his people, and continues through to the end of the Book of Mormon. |

| | Mind Control/Brainwashing/Thought Reform Exists |
| | To say then that the concept of thought reform is rejected by the scientific community is false and irresponsible. | | | In sum, thought reform should be regarded as "situationally adaptive belief change that is not subtle and is environment-dependent". | | | Thought reform (notes 1,2,3 below) and its synonyms brainwashing and coercive persuasion (4.5) were also noted in DSM-III (1980) and is DSM-III revised (1987), as well as in widely recognized medical texts (6.7). |

| | The Reform movement is often thought, sometimes by its own members, to be the most lenient when it comes to religious practices. | | | Reform Judaism, like Reconstructionism, believes that children of a Jewish father and Gentile mother are Jewish if the child is brought up as Jewish and publicly identifies as a Jew through various religious acts. | | | Reform Jews do not accept the binding nature of Jewish law, focusing instead on the moral autonomy of individuals to decide which laws are religiously meaningful for them. |

| | Moses As intercessor |
| | The first was a reform of sorts, which is called Deuteronomic or Josianic, which created a profound effect upon the later historians who were its advocates, thought its actual accomplishments were debatable and the endurance brief. | | | In Chap 7 the prophet has delivered the sermon in the temple, denouncing what in effect were probably some of the most important results of the Deuteronomic Reform; the year was 609, Josiah was dead and Jehoiakim on the throne, and the years ahead were to be turbulent for Jeremiah and disastrous for Judah. | | | Not dealing in any way with what might be related to the Deuteronomic Reform, and utterly lacking in detail for a chronological placement(despite William Holladay's intriguing suggestions), the chapter speaks of a drought. |

| | Korea's Positive Acceptance of Western Thought and the Christian Movement |
| | Those who held this open attitude towards reform can be divided into two camps: those who accepted Western culture through faith in Christianity and those who wanted to appropriate secular thought and institutions from the West. | | | The Protestant church has replanted modern Western culture on Korean soil through its numerous schools and medical facilities, but it is the Catholic church, providing service with an attitude of silent obedience to God, that has provided a spiritual model fully embraced by the Korean people. | | | In the past two centuries of miraculous development, the Korean Catholic church has brought to Korean society the gist of Western spiritual culture developed from the Middle Ages to the present. |

| | The date of Fixed celebrations in the Orthodox calendar is made more difficult by the fact that there are currently differing schools of thought on whether to use the Gregorian or the Julian calendar to determine the date of the Feasts that occur on fixed dates. | | | The Julian Calendar was used by the European (and Christan) communities until the Gregorian reform of 1582. | | | Except for sporadic use in the 1920's, the calendar reform was not adopted. |

| | Deuteronomy |
| | According to II Kings 22-23 this scroll led Josiah to initiate a reform of the religion of Judah which, in particular, involved the destruction of all places of sacrifice except the Temple in Jerusalem. | | | The fact that Deuteronomy often reflects both the language and the thought of the eighth century prophets helps to confirm this identification." (Understanding the Old Testament, p. | | | Since only Deuteronomy, of all the books of the Torah, calls for such a reform and since it is inconceivable that such an important book of the law would have been lost after Josiah's time, it is likely that the identification of Deuteronomy as the discovered scroll is correct. |

| | RightCyberUp: Thought Reform in the ICC (ICOC Mind Control) |
| | In this section, we will illustrate that the International Churches of Christ (ICC) uses thought reform or “mind control” techniques, and look at measurable evidence of psychological harm caused by the ICC. | | | Behavior control’s “need to report thoughts, feelings, and activities to superiors” works in ICC discipling relationships, which are mandatory in the group (see Mandatory, Assigned One-Over-One Discipling). | | | Hassan’s information control includes members “spying on” other group members, both through the use of “buddy systems” like ICC discipling partners, and reporting by members of “deviant thoughts, feelings, and actions to leadership” – which the ICC might call “accountability.” Even ICC marriage relationships may lack true confidentiality (see Marriage). |

Lifton (3) and the late Dr. Margaret Thaler Singer (4) have been shown to be present in virtually all high-demand religions presently operating in the United States and the Western world. | | | This current generation of thought reform practices, in the opinion of many researchers, poses a greater threat than did the politically oriented behavior control practices of the past because its primary attack is not just upon the individual’s political views but rather upon the sense of self. | | | The Church of Scientology settled out of court with former member Raul Lopez, who filed suit alleging that the Church had swindled him of more than $1.3 million which he had received in a settlement following an auto accident that left him brain damaged. |

| | CCAR - Statement of Principles - Adopted 5/26/99 |
| | On three occasions during the last century and a half, the Reform rabbinate has adopted comprehensive statements to help guide the thought and practice of our movement. | | | The great contribution of Reform Judaism is that it has enabled the Jewish people to introduce innovation while preserving tradition, to embrace diversity while asserting commonality, to affirm beliefs without rejecting those who doubt, and to bring faith to sacred texts without sacrificing critical scholarship. | | | Today, when so many individuals are striving for religious meaning, moral purpose and a sense of community, we believe it is our obligation as rabbis once again to state a set of principles that define Reform Judaism in our own time. |

| | Easter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Easter depends on Passover not only for much of its symbolic meaning but also for its position in the calendar; the Last Supper shared by Jesus and his disciples before his crucifixion is generally thought of as a Passover seder, based on the chronology in the Synoptic Gospels. | | | This is succinctly summarized by the Orthodox Easter hymn "Christ is Risen": | | | Easter and the holidays that are related to it are moveable feasts, in that they do not fall on a fixed date in the Gregorian or Julian calendars (which follow the motion of the sun and the seasons). |
