Not that many but for some reason people don't like being punished for breaking the rules. I don't get a whole lot of recruitment TGs.

Gaslighting?


Gaslighting is a term for making somebody to believe themselves insane, or to similarly convince those close to them of their insanity. Comes in a wide variety of forms, but the name is a reference to an old play and/or movie called Gas Light.

Gas Light is a fine play, perhaps dated now but a good story. It played in the US as Angel Street. I saw Vincent Price in the original Broadway production back in, oh, 1941. Good times.

All that talk about coming into people, and getting nailed. The snakes, the forbidden fruit, the cannibalism, the weird bits where dudes wash each other's feet. Jesus telling Paul that he'll make him a "fisher of men."
