love bombing: Widow support groups, youth peer ministries, youth retreat programs, etc. It's all appeal to kids and part of being a modern church in the 21st century. Creating its own christian social networks is not the work of brainwashing, its the result of christians having the desire to have their own religious groups and organizations based out of faith.

I'm curious why you'd mention widowed support groups as an example of "love bombing." Do you know
anything about widow support groups or were you just being snarky?
We aren't forced to share our stories. We all don't see eye to eye. There are several in my support group I can't stand. Being widowed doesn't automatically make you a good person. None of the other criteria applies to us, so no, we don't fit the description of being "brainwashed."
I don't feel the need to make your argument for you, but a better example would have been AA support meetings. I don't have any personal experience with them, but I know a few people who have. They related to me that the meetings are similar to a cult like atmosphere and a reason why they didn't stick with the program.
