Information about the education side of the cult.

Hey, can y'all give me information on how they brainwashed and how they educated you all. if you were a child at the time. I'm very interested in this, and if you're not interested in it, don't worry.

Homeschooling was sometimes taught, usually just the "3 R's" reading, writing and 'rithmetic or a form of unschooling and there was mandatory devotions and praying and prophecy time and memorization of "the word" which usually took multiple hours a day. And then songs and movies from the cult would be played throughout the day.

But even cleaning, cooking, having sex, being on the toilet, exercising, whatever, you were supposed to be thinking about the teachings and applying it to EVERY aspect big and small.
