i noticed a lot of mormons using this phrase. it reminds me of a cult test

question #5 Cult-speak

The cult has its own language. The cult invents new terminology or euphemisms for many things. The cult may also redefine many common words or phrases to mean something different.

"Loaded Language" is one of Robert J. Lifton's Eight Conditions of Thought Reform -- an essential part of any effective brainwashing program. The cult-speak may include a bunch of well-worn slogans.The special words constrict rather than expand human understanding, and the slogans stop thought.

here are more phrases regarding loaded language:

Her bf/hubby is gay, she and her lesbian friend won't come out of the closet, she thinks her dogs are human, and she cant even control her own weight. Ironic how Oprah has all the money in the world..all the celebrity friends in the world...yet she can't even control her own life. She only knows how to give free houses and cars to people who can't even afford the insurance and property taxes.

Oprah is the last person I would seek advice from on anything.

I know it's not really seen as confident or "masculine", but I seem to get embarrassed easily around girls. My face will turn red, I'll begin to stutter, etc. I just never can think of the right thing to say.

Most girls seem to like guys with lots of confidence. I know I need to work on that...but in the meantime, what do you think of a guy who is bashful and timid?

my science teacher is making us do this project. he has everything on the internet but his directions arent very clear. i have asked a bunch of questions and have been trying to do this for days now. but i dont understand what i really have to do or where i can find this information. can u help

"In the second task, you will have to determine the parts of the atom. This should include creating a data table in a word program. The data table will need to include the mass and charge of an electron, proton, and neutron. You will also need to explain what subatomic particles are represented by the atomic number and mass number on the periodic table. In addition, you will need to explain what the nucleus and electron orbitals are. You will need to determine which makes up the volume of the atom, and which makes up the majority of the mass. You will need to sketch a model of an atom with at least 5 protons to represent these ideas."

these are the directions. but i dont understand them

I think I might be pregngant. :(
That's not a good thing, because I just got out of a silly relationship...
I need to know some at home signs to find out if I'm pregnant.
Don't say missed period either.
My sister just had a baby, and she had her period for the first 4 months of pregnancy.
It runs in my family to have a period even while being pregnant.
So, other than missed period, how can I find out?
Besides tests, I don't want to spend money to get one... I'm saving my money to move this week sometime...

2007-12-19 13:25:19 · 7 answers · asked by James 1 in Celebrities

Do you support denying legislation to allow a persons right to die regardless of a persons faith or lack of one?

Do you support faith based laws such as a ban on abortion on people regardless of a persons faith or lack of one?

Do you support bringing Christianity back to pubic schools regardless of the non-Christian community such as Hindu, Jewish, and Muslim ( to name a few) that attend public school?

Do you support censoring public media outlets to conform to a sole pro-Christian view regardless of the diverse ethnic/religious society?

If you said yes to any of these questions

If the changes took place it would impact you as an individual or would it impact anyone who didn’t follow your beliefs more?


If the changes took place how do you think the non-Christian community would receive it?

Lastly, if the changes took place do you think the non-Christian community would feel free?
