But usually when they are touched their eyes tear or something. You can tell when they are ready.

The psychological manipulation in the local churches is more effectively used on the females, I believe. The Local Church workers present propositions to create an emotional response. Men usually are more clinical, more questioning. Female listeners usually will get emotional. They're impacted by psychological pressure, and emotional appeal, then they uncritically accept the propositions at face value, and are emotionally committed. |
I agree with
aron that this seems like a kind of psychological manipulation.
Aron, is there a link to this quote?
I think this has been a kind of trend in the LRC over the years, that it has come to attract people who enjoy influencing, even manipulating, other people -- especially younger people -- just a tiny little bit too much. Maybe the word
"interloper" could be used to describe this?
