Cult Religion or Religious Cults? Cont’d.

Published by juliesworld at 4:59 pm under 1, Religion Edit This

So…from the the last post, I promised I was going to continue from where I left off. Like I was saying in my last post below, there are many unnoticeable ways one can get recruited to a religious cult. Let me start off by saying, there are religious cults and there are religious extremists but the funny thing is that extremists differ from cults but cults are not different from extremists. This is because I believe some cult organizations don’t start off being cults or even plan to; but after creating a “strong” system within themselves and seeing how it changes their lives, some members start to panic hoping not to loose the “love” or attention and especially control they are able to have over other people’s lives. It’s just like being in a relationship and all of a sudden realizing how much you love your partner and instead of being happy about the relationship and cherishing every moment, you get obsessive because you worry that you will loose something you think is “good” for you. So I want you to first of all see these people as humans, that are presently week and not wicked on purpose. They are fooled into thinking that they have to make a whole bunch of “rules” in order to protect themselves from loosing what they currently have among one another. And this my friends is how a well intended group of people become a cult organization.

How Do They Sneak Up On You? I will explain in details and give you real life examples.
