I was a Mormon for 27 years. The complexity of this cult is so amazing that it attracts the most competent and dynamic people in every nation. For this reason, I have devoted my past 22 years compiling the data on those who have left. It is about to be published in a 4-part article in Psychology Today. Or you may read it at the blog, free. Google my name.
@ubernerd35 NO agreeing would be too easy, and make really poor TV... besides we would be depriving all those dead beat capitalists holy men of their hard earned money, yes?
@TheRockZH I don't understand your reply. You pointed out that this can be analogous to how Islam reached prominence, and I pointed out that the same could be said for Christianity. How would anything I said indicate that I worship political correctness or be superfluous?
@SharkSlayer353 Hey, you have sense too! I remember watching Zeitgeist after being recommended by a friend. I sat through the whole thing saying "That's wrong." or "Not quite." or "deliberately misleading" or "They're just making up shit now" or...
@SharkSlayer353 No, did i do research because of Zeitgeist? yes. did i/do i agree with Zeitgeist word for word? no. Bottom line i'm too stoned and tired to give a shit anymore lol.
@SharkSlayer353 all i have to say is LOL! do some research on sun worship, and then do some research on most of the mainstream religions, they're all personified versions of sun worship and it's all bogus. if you can't put the facts together than you need to hide your stupidity by disconnecting the internet and watching tv, you know...where you're accepted as a non retard? aha this is fun.
Love this video! Truth is all religion have some of these things (yes, even whichever one you belong to!). Aum Shinrikyo wins though, they had ALL of it. No exceptions. Plus WMDs...
To start a cult of self-worship and God denial, confuse people by drawing false analogies between exploiters of true religion and true religion itself. Portray all discernment as wrong or excessive. Never portray the virtuous results of confronting true evils and wrongs. Instead, imbue your audience with the sense that all judgment is wrong. Emphasize a controlling nature of judgment; never its necessity in the spiritual fight against de facto slavery to sin.
Didn't Jesus say " a man's own enemies will be person's of his own household, what do you think he meant by that? (Matt 10:36) Also, "he that has greater affection for father or mother than me IS NOT WORTHY OF ME" (Matt 10:37), Further, "he that has greater affection for son or daughter is not worthy of me (Matt 10:38) what do you think he meant by all of that?. Try to figure it out , hippocripes! I got a lot more if you want it.
@inscentof I suspect this is a casualty of repeated translation and loss of intrinsic meaning due to lack of knowledge of the original cultural bias. What it probably means is that in order to free oneself from the "karmic entanglement" or "ego trap" or whatever you want to call it, one must denounce all things of this delusional world in order to achieve the clear, one-pointed focus needed to find the way out. I think when Jesus spoke, it tended to be from the perspective of "Oneness".
I'm starting a following. It is going to change how we see the world, and it will make our lives much more enjoyable than you could possibly imagine. Follow Me...
This is brilliant and such organizations exist but it's important to make a distinction between a true cult and a true spiritual organization. The two can look the same unless you look closely. Probably the most telling distinction is the "us vs. them" mentality. A true spiritual organization founded by a truly enlightened master teacher, will demonstrate unconditional love in all things and will never guilt it's members or attempt to manipulate them. Such organizations do exist.
@steve42lawson absolutely man. good comparison is buddhism and christianity. christianity uses fear to control it's people. buddhism actually discourages people to "convert"
@steve42lawson orrr, is it more important to notice the similarities between the two ... and, wouldn't every one of the cults, say "no, no, no -- we are "true spiritual organization" ...
@maddymud Yeah, that's what makes it so hard to find the genuine spiritual organizations. It's a catch-22. You need the spiritual teaching to learn how to discern. You need the ability to discern to find the proper spiritual teaching. Damn insidious!
I wonder if I could start up a cult of cult-leaders and use this as a recrutment/training video.
All of my followers must go out into the world and start a cult that funnels money and power back to me. From their followers, one or two are selected to join my top-tier cult to receive the 'ultimate truths' and training to start their own cults...

@advantagehiphop You must have an extremely skewed view of Christianity. Maybe you're confusing actual Christianity with Mormonism or Jehovah's Witnesses?
@SamAndrew27 Maybe i don't buy into the bullshit and can analyze it externally and separate myself from it emotionally so i'm not blinded by the light. maybe.
@advantagehiphop Cult leaders use religion as a crux because it is established and people trust it, but they are twisting it for their *personal* evil. I have never experienced the kinds of awful things in things video at my church (Episcopal), or any true church I've been to for that matter, so I don't understand how you're relating this video to Christianity. Jesus preached love and acceptance, not cruelty and manipulation. Btw It's good to question, you have to so that one's faith is strong.
@halostereo Cult leaders, Pope's, Politicians, whoever are gonna keep doin their thing. I'm gonna keep smokin weed, and doin my thing. Have a nice day
@SamAndrew27 woah no need to bring down other religions remember both mormons and jehoveh witnesses believe the same as chirstans. In the bible and in jesus chirst, cults and religion are the same believe me iv studied it exstesivly the only difference is eventually cults use fear instead of guilt and cults have different goals.
This is totally awesome! Thanks for the tips! I've been trying to start a cult of the Blue Uhu for quite some time. We all wear a fish hat and blue spandex and we worship the UHU and make strange grunting sounds throughout the day. This video will really help me get some more members. Thanks a million!
