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

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

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

@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.

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.

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"

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.
