What I Think

Hi everyone, I promised to continue where we left off. My last question was how do religious “cults” sneak up on you? They become the friend and family you never had. Studies have shown that people who had abandonment situations some time in their lives are vulnerable to being recruited by mind control groups. I mean, no one is saying you should walk around life skeptical about every act of kindness or acceptance from someone, but it’s ok to not completely trust someone’s motives right away.

Ok, so lets look at a summary of my last few posts about religious mind control. There are groups out there who are not cults but are extreme in their doctrines. Even the Bible warns about avoiding all extremes. But religious cults are extremists that have allowed themselves to fall deeper into their “obsession” for control or “protection”. 

How do smart people fall into this trap? Everyone has a heart, even Bill O’reilly. So no matter how smart or anti social you are, you want to be loved and accepted by people. And  this is how they work. They love and accept you like no one in your little world ever has, that way they gain your trust and isolate you by demanding you spend more time with them, making them a priority just like they seem to have made you, it’s very easy to fall into that trap by guilt. After that, they start to approve and disapprove on how you run your life and because you are now addicted to the “love and acceptance” you feel you can’t get anywhere else, you start changing things in your life just to please them, and before you know it, they use more fear of Hell Fire or God’s “anger” to scare and manipulate you to develop a fearful and self demeaning attitude in yourself. When you start to act this way, you will be unable to notice when they abuse you because you are already abusing yourself. More to come. To be continued…
