UNDERSTANDING CULTS

Understanding Cults

CULT - Any group which has a pyramid type
authoritarian leadership structure with all teaching
and guidance coming from the person/persons at the
top. The group will claim to be the only way to God;
Nirvana; Paradise; Ultimate Reality; Full Potential,
Way to Happiness etc, and will use thought reform or
mind control techniques to gain control and keep their
members.

This definition covers cults within all major world
religions, along with those cults which have no
obvious religious base such as commercial,
educational and psychological cults. Others may
define these a little differently, but this is the
simplest to work from.

Cults and Mind Control

The video below is old, but still very much accurate.  It demonstrates how cults use mind control and other techniques to suck people in and gain loyal followers.  This video is a must see to understand how it works.  Scientology practices many of the same methods demonstrated, though in various forms.  The video is very interesting.
