Totally. Funny thing is, I even knew that it was brainwashing and how it happened - I related to some friends that it happened because I basically gave up my will to them.
Interesting thing is, I still have some occasional breathing problems, and when I feel like I'm reverting to this brainwashed state occasionally (may take some time to fully readjust, which is fine by me, as long as I never relapse again, G-d willing) or "giving up" my will to someone else, so to speak, it's hard for me to take deep breaths during those times. When I'm acting "normal," I breathe normally, so I feel kinda guided, which I'm very thankful for. I also notice when I give up my will or am kinda losing touch with reality, so to speak, everything gets very bright and artificial-looking to my vision lol (sounds kinda nuts, perhaps).
But yeah, this brainwashing business is totally ed, and it's happened to me two times lol - first time was by an extremely manipulative acting teacher. So yeah, had to go through some ed situtations to finally realize I gotta cut the crap and really get moving with my life, lol.

I find it all very fascinating. I've read all up on MK Ultra and 's cray.

's very cray, and dangerous, too. Recently watched a recent HBO documentary on Scientology, which is absolutely nuts. Very good documentary, btw:
If anyone's seen the movie Whiplash, btw, that was basically my former acting teacher right there.

But yeah, it was a Messianic cult. I felt something very fishy about it as soon as I arrived, but went against my intuition and stayed there for about a month, had a severe anxiety attack or something, and kinda went nuts lol. Not totally nuts, as I never got violent or psychotic or anything, but more like severe social anxiety-nuts, don't-know-wtf-is wrong-with-me nuts.
I've actually seen other people from this cult that also got ed, so I do believe there's definitely brainwashing involved, and I'm happy I gtfo of there when I did. I was also warned by other rabbis not to go there, and what might happen, but I guess I had to learn the hard way.
I like to think of it as a blessing in disguise, however, as it did make me more sensitive and open to life again, after living for some years emotionally numbing myself and not giving a about anything, prior. So yeah, G-d willing all this will enable me to be a better person and finally choose on a career path and get on with my life, instead of just jumping around from one place/thing to another.

Hmmmmm..... somehow I feel as if this thread was directed towards me. And if so, I take offense to that!
BTW, where the hell are all the trance girls at? I swear this site was poppin' back then about 10 years ago. I guess the world is a sheep, and people have hopped onto another bandwagon.

Honestly, I was gonna say top 5, but thought it might be hasty cause I've never really consciously thought about a top 5.

I love it! Everything from the script to the cast - outstanding. Better than The Godfather.
A lot of those same actors went on to act in The Sopranos, too. Funny.
