The church runs an extensive brainwashing network. It starts with primary and then it’s youth programs. If you ever were involved in church leadership you know how much focus the church puts here.
Name another church that has seminary on school days and even builds buildings next to schools to do it. Then at college there is institute. Just the Church Educational System alone is a huge brainwashing operation.
Then you have missions. I was told by a member of the First Quorum of the Seventy that the missions were to convert the missionaries. The huge missionary effort was not bringing in enough converts to grow the church.
Then you have temples. Another mind programming tool using extreme peer pressure to make you do stuff you normally wouldn’t do. When you look at it, you have a brainwashed population of people.
Faith is believing in something because YOU choose to. Brainwashing is believing in something to avoid punishment, social isolation or you were constantly exposed to the same messages over and over.
The difference between a religion and a cult is a religion does not use extreme brainwashing techniques. Cults do.
