The Painful Truth-Herbert W. Armstrong's Worldwide Church of God
Understanding the psychology of religious seduction and spiritual abuse.
Religion and politics are, in my opinion, two sides of the same coin, which is mind control of the masses. Anything which will keep the masses under control, not rebelling, always obedient, paying taxes (or tithes), and marching off to fight the next useless war is a good thing.
Apply this lesson to your religion and politics.
This video below applies to not only the political structure, but the religious structure of society. The lesson is, if you do nothing to resist, your leaders will take all from you. Your time, your money, your life. But you will eventually awaken, eating sweetbread, and ready to board the train towards Auschwitz.
