Legion Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Thank you very much Ruby. From there check these out.... The cult is authoritarian in its power structure. The cult's leaders tend to be charismatic, determined, and domineering. The cult's leaders are self-appointed, messianic persons who claim to have a special mission in life. The cult's leaders center the veneration of members upon themselves. The cult tends to be totalitarian in its control of the behavior of its members. The cult tends to have a double set of ethics. (e.g. honesty with those inside, deception with those outside) The cult has basically only two purposes, recruiting new members and fund-raising. The cult appears to be innovative and exclusive.
