Veteran Member: I Share (not Debate) my POV
It is not true that usually larger organizations do it. It is common even in families. I am glad my husband finally decided to divorce me because his persistent propaganda at me might have finally been the death of me.
My definition of propaganda is this; a message, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote a particular point of view. He would exaggerate my faults and instead of saying, "can I help you?" he would use angry insults at me even when the insult was not warranted at a particular time.
Gas-lighting is a type of propaganda people use to get their way or just to have some evil fun.
To proselytize means to advise another person that there is a better way to go with better people.
Gas-lighting I know this word since 2 years now. In connection with narcissism. They make you doubt yourself. You are wrong, not good enough. My father did it in such a way that I had 0% drive to live anymore [and he even said "don't make a fuzz it's just my game". Only when I told him I never want to see him again, I start to get a little interest to live again.
That's why I do not accept proselytizing anymore. In essence it is the same. You are told that you (your soul/religion/feeling) is not good enough. I am so done with this indoctrination. They really can go to hell with it [in which I do not believe]. If they share positive view of their religion it's fine with me, but do not talk any negative about my religion/feeling/soul/being.
Thanks for sharing, and I wish you all the best.
