Mind-changing tactics (http://www.crossroad.to/charts/brainwashing.html)
Produce mental and moral confusion through contemporary books and stories (Cognitive dissonance)
Insist on open-mindedness toward unbiblical views and suggestions
Use feel-good affirmations to create a "safe place" for sharing personal thoughts and values
Require open-mindedness, respect, "tolerance" and approval of new beliefs and values
Through each group dialogue, guide each member toward a new consensus
Undermine traditional authorities (parents, church, Bible, God...) as old-fashioned, obsolete, divisive or intolerant.
Prompt everyone to freely share feelings, thoughts, complaints, resentments (especially toward traditional parents), etc.
Stir subtle hostility (ridicule, rejection) toward dissenters
Humiliate resistors or non-conformists
Commit yourself to the group and its changing consensus
