Too bad that culturally, Jordan is losing the culture war. The USA Today reported:
Americans are running away from church. But they don't have to run from each other.
With declining religious practice in American society, we risk losing one of the great organizing structures we share with our ancestors and, with it, the positives of being a part of a larger whole.
A recent study from the Public Religion Research Institute found that more than a quarter of Americans consider themselves religiously unaffiliated. The perceived importance of religion also has declined. A decade ago, 63% of Americans cited religion as the most or one of the most important things in their lives; now, that number stands at 52%.
This decline is not random, however. Those most likely to leave religion are white, formerly Christian-affiliated Americans. The majority say they have stopped believing in the religion’s teachings as their primary reason for stepping away.
But sizable numbers also leave because they believe religion has become too politicized. Additionally, the growing share of “nonverts” (those formerly, but not currently, affiliated with a religion) when added to a rise in what scholar Stephen Bullivant calls “cradle nones” (those whose parents claimed no religious membership) mean that, each year, fewer Americans are connected to houses of worship.

You obliterate what you see? This is crazy talk. You need to address reality. And trying to ignore it like Jordan suggests is reckless. This is why he gets into so much trouble. Look at how he started trying to deceive the courts in 2009 regarding the Sordi case. At the same time Jordan will not address that DURING SUSPENSION, LICENSEES MAY NOT PRACTICE PSYCHOLOGY OR REFER TO THEMSELVES AS PSYCHOLOGISTS. As indicated above in "Probation," suspensions are considered disciplinary actions associated with probation orders and, as such, are public information and provided to consumers upon request.
Jordan is a Jim Jones or David Koresh wannabe. He is an entertainer not a psychologist. Because he sells books and videos and lectures, THAT IS NOT THERAPY. He needs to address his bad conduct in courts in the case of Case 1 Sordi v. Sordi, 2009 CanLII 80104 (ON SC) he defamed a parent in court. In the case 2 R. v. Pearce, 2012 MBQB 22 (CanLII) he tried to free a murderer. Then in the case Peterson v. College of Psychologists of Ontario, 2023 ONSC 4685, he tried to avoid taking responsibility. He also tried to interfere in a family court case in Montana, the Kolstadt case, where there was a GAG order, he unprofessionally diagnosed a minor without interviews or assessments, and tried to defend unfit parents.
