There is much myth and fallacies about cults.
People talk everywhere about cults, brainwashing, etc. etc. You see some guys
acting weird (like selling flowers in the rain), and you think they're evil.
You might think: "They're deceived", and try to reason with
the Bible with them, even when you know that this won't change
their minds. But you stubbornly try, full of pride, as if that solved the world's
problems. But there are some things you should know first...
Lying is not the only form of deception. I've seen the most curious
things about cultists - people only describe what THEY SEE in cults. For example,
people often say "cults are organisations where everyone follows blindly a certain leader".
But WHY do they follow this leader? HOW did this
leader recruited them? Most cultists were rational, critical people, many were even
'born-again'. So WHY and HOW did they become some sort of zombies trying to
recruit everyone into their church?
After talking with current cult members, studying testimonies of former
members, and reading experts in the field, I decided to make this webpage to
stop the cultic mythology and state the facts.
