How to be a cult leader -- UPDATED WITH REAL-WORLD EXAMPLES

[satinbarbi]

I am very frustrated, I have declared myself to be the Pope of the Lower Discordian Church of Bob the Redeemer. So far I have one follower who has not delivered a cent. How do I start raking in the big bucks?

All of this is covered in the book "Cults In our Midst" by Margaret Singer. she explains how Cult techniques are now being used in the private sector companies as well as the improvement seminars. Large group awareness training is discussed as well as how when upper level employees at a company get sucked into a cult, they sometimes force lower level employees to become members of the cult or face repercussions.

my mother started working in sales a month ago and I've had a revelation reading the top comments... she's been working very long hours and one of her co-workers is a scientologist! I am going to talk to her about this...

Anyone who has worked in sales experienced this. My friend who worked at Quickenloans told me the first week how nice everyone was, and how she loved the company, then 2 weeks later they were working her 7 days a week 13 hours a day for a 250 a week salary, then guilt tripping her when she wanted a day off. They'd meet every morning and SING! Im serious!

@gwenshin yeah thats serious stuff .... consider those teenagers from JOYOFSATAN. get messed up in cults??same shit everywhere NITSE, FRUDE (i spelled him wrong) all major psychologist being stydiing these long ago

[Smithpolly]

@gwenshin Long hours and poor pay are both bad. But there is a line that should not be crossed and forcing people to be chirpy in the morning is well over it.
