Cults

The word cult negatively refers to a group whose beliefs or practices are considered strange.The word originally denoted a system of ritual practices.
The word implies a group which is a minority in society.

Studies performed by those who believe that some religious groups that do practice mind control have identified a number of key steps in coercive persuasion;

- People are put in physical or emotionally distressing situations;
- Their problems are reduced to one simple explanation, which is repeatedly emphasised.
- They receive unconditional love, acceptance, and attention from a charismatic leader or group.
- They get a new identity based on the group.
- They are subject to entrapment (isolation from friends, relatives and the mainstream culture) and their access to information is severely controlled.

The idea of cult culture has inspired us as a group and we will be looking deeper into the topic soon, with reference to mind control, brain washing and rituals.
Wish us luck.
