Identifying a Cult Options

[gr00vyswordsman]

How do you feel with my statement? As you read it, you may or may not begin to...imagine yourself agreeing with the below statements. So I'm curious, a person might agree with everything i say. At the same time let me show you why I feel such conviction.
and why a lot people look at this and go...I can feel that way.

Alot of the religious organizations will not even allow other christian based material read or even looked at within their organization. Because they're trying to preserve what they're teaching and dont want any confusion. Or, some of them don't want the truth to truely be
revealed and their plan to be...shown for what it truely is...a destructive cult.

So anytime there is control of information, ask yourself why: what is it they're trying to hide from me? And see for yourself with wisdom what it is you're not being shown. Why am I doing this, and for what purpose does it serve?

As a general rule, I tend not to see any significant difference between harmful "cults" and "religion." They're both controlling. They both make extraordinary claims and provide less than extraordinary evidence. They often prey on the weak. They often ask for donations. They have earthly leaders who claim to have some sort of collect-free phone line to the heavens. They involve ritualistic reaffirmation - chants, song, group prayers. Really, they are all very cult-like. Religion just has it all in the subtleties, except for maybe Mormonism, Catholicism, Scientology, and Pentecost, and some more.

I could have sworn you were talking about the liberal wing of politics for a second.

Probably.
