Breaking Down the Programming

Post by _just me »

How long do you suppose it takes to break down the programming received for decades as a Mormon?

I mean there is all this stuff from shame to how we interact socially.

It's interesting to me how I will think I have one particular thing licked and an experience will occur that brings it back up.

Long time!

I plan to wear a tie with a shirt that isn't white and my cord jacket to church tomorrow. I grew up in an area that bred the GA-CEO look. That is, a very conservative, business class. I never went to church without a white shirt on. I feel slightly ashamed of the idea that I will be there tomorrow with a different look. In reality, nobody will give a damn. They will just be happy to see an unbaptized 9-yr old in their midst. Joking, joking...
Oh for shame, how the mortals put the blame on us gods, for they say evils come from us, but it is they, rather, who by their own recklessness win sorrow beyond what is given... Zeus (1178 BC)

Ludwig,

If you don't mind:

Interrogator:
- When were you brainwashed?

Survivor:
- I was brainwashed?

Is it programming or is it simply culture?

I don't really have a simple answe to this....maybe a little of both?

Just Me, what, specifically, are you having problems getting over?

There certainly is a cultural overlay to the programming, but I think it is programming.

The lesson manuals for juveniles take a very structured progression, from milk to meat.
