 In this video, we will learn of 12 telltale signs of how to identify a cult as described by psychiatrist Robert J. Lifton. No tolerance for questions or critical inquiry. Former followers are always wrong in leading. They are either negative or even evil. The group leader is always right. The group or the leader are the exclusive means of knowing truth or receiving validation. No other process of discovery is really acceptable or credible. Former members often relate the same stories of abuse and reflect a similar pattern of grievances. Whenever the group leader is questioned or criticized, it is characterized as persecution. Absolute authoritarianism without meaningful accountability. Followers feel that they can never be enough. Dependency upon the group or the leader for problem solving, solutions, and definitions without meaningful reflective thought, has seeming an ability to think independently or analyze situations without groups or leaders' involvement. Anything the group or leader does can be justified no matter how harsh or harmful. Unnatural and seemingly programmed conversations and mannerisms, cloning of the group or leader in personal behavior. Hyperactivity centered around the groups or leaders agenda, which seems to supersede any personal goals or individual interests.
