[QUOTE="grasping the after wind, post: 73971975, member: 256417"] I guess it wasn't very effective indoctrination then if you could come to a conclusion that contradicted the brainwashing. I don't see my instruction in the religion I was born into as brainwashing. The instructional methods used were exactly the same methods as were used to teach me math, science , history etc. by the secular authorities in the secular school. The authority figure tells one what the accepted truth is and you regurgitate it for a reward. Brainwashing /indoctrination from what I understand is quite a bit more intense and difficult to de program from. IMO people that cannot argue properly or have no good argument to offer resort to all kinds of excuses for why another person is not convinced by their arguments so I wouldn't worry about whether you would be brainwashing anyone by simply passing along to them what you believe and instructing them in those beliefs. If they live in society , as most likely they will, they certainly will be inundated with instruction from the opposite POV and probably in a much more intense and incessant manner than anything you or I are capable of delivering.
