16 Types of Cults: Part I

[cassandrabadie]

i have been wondering with the harod camping cult, there seems to be emerging a new kind of cult onew where having menbers in one place under control is not needed, with harold camping you find his followers are still belveing in him its a very strange think to see and deal with yes people still believe in camping and he is saying now that god did say it in the bible but he did not keep his word in short god lied, its crazy

[FiswaT]

Thanks for the info

[pennsylvaniashay]

Insightful. I never realized all those things are cults. I recently heard skinheads are a cult and was like "What the Hell!?" they aren't a religion.

[blackwhimsy]

You're a very compelling speaker. But you need a better camera! What you say is so impt,we need to hear/see you properly!

Peace and thanks for your work in this field. So many people are in chains and they don't know it.

the zeitgeist movement has all the hallmarks of a cult.Charismatic leader,bullying,top-down hierarchy,wait for an armageddon followed by utopian world,reiteration of the outside world being corrupt over and over again,focus on "spreading awareness" over action,making dissenters and critics watch their material over and over again to quash any criticism and inquiry.Google "zeitgeist is a mind heist"

Amway is a perfect cult. I went to a meeting once and it seemed they got all worked up ant seemed like they spoke in tongues.

Mary Kay is a cult. I know, I was a "beauty consultant" with them.

[LUVJONZ99]

Mary Kay, I admit the consultants can be very a bit tenacious - but I like their products.

[1974Falc]

"A bit tenacious"? Yeah. They're a cult. I liked their products, too. That's why I became a consultant. Now, I will not buy products that support a cult. You obviously feel comfortable doing so. That's the bottom line. There IS a connection between your consumption and the continuation of a cult's longevity. Make that connection for the sake of your conscience. There IS other good make-up and skin-care out there. Find it.

[LUVJONZ99]

I do every chance I get, I have very sensitive skin and a medical condition that's why I try different products, MK just happened to work for me..........Peace.

[ceraline]

@1974Falc Can yout tell me more about it. In what way it is a sect.

I just buy their product sometimes and I didn't sense that.

[mcleayf1]

All religions are cults. bible and 35thousand other religions on this planet.

A fairy tale, written 1600 years ago about a tribe living in the sand. Why does the bible sound like the worst fairy tale ever farted from a pen? The authors were high on opium tea

[Emilydogcat]

I disagree. God is real and the bible is not a fairy tale. Have you read it? It makes so much sense. Have you read proverbs? Now churches---I have had only bad experiences in churches. I never comfortable or safe. The pastor of a Lutheran Church acted like Mr. Judge and I didn't like him. Church scares me. But I love God.

Hi---I have a question. Regarding the pyramid, and the "I'll help you learn how to sell" types, Is there a difference (and what is it) between a cult and a scam? Or do scams fall under the umbrella of a cult?

[vesputine22]

Hi. It seems to me that scams just want to take your money (and lots of it). They tend to trick victims in one fell swoop by shady language and contracts.

Cults, however, want YOU. They want your money too, but your labour and your mind are more precious in terms of furthering their agenda and power. They have an ideology behind their scam and want to control their members, trainees, employees, etc.

[Lanthiriel]

Thank you. :) that makes perfect sense.

[fireflyzip]

Thank you for posting. Very informative and helpful...

[wingedblue]

Thank you! Cults, destructive groups, and extreme levels of manipulation in relationships can be tough for some people to understand. So I'm very glad it was helpful! :-D
