WHAT is a Cult?
A cult is a highly manipulative group which exploits its members and can cause psychological, financial and physical harm. It dictates, in an absolute manner, the behaviour, thoughts and emotions of its followers.
Manipulation techniques are used to transform the new recruit into a loyal, obedient and subservient member.
Cults claim a special status for themselves or their leader that usually sets
them in opposition to mainline society and/or the family.
