http://www.touregypt.net/featurestories/cults.htm

Extractions: Unlike our modern religions, ancient Egyptian religion was not based on a set of theological principles, nor did it really depend on the content of canonical writings. Rather, it evolved around how people interacted with their gods, and these actions are termed by Egyptologists as "cult", which is roughly synonymous with "ritual". In the ancient Egyptian language, there is no specific word for "ritual". They variously referred to these interactions with the gods as irt ht (doing things), irw (things done) or nt (regular procedures). Cults were focused on ntr, which since the Ptolemaic (Greek) period has been translated as god. However, the ancient Egyptians applied this term to people and things which we today would hesitate to call gods. In fact, Dimitri Meeks has recently suggested that the common feature of all entities called ntr by the ancient Egyptians is that they were the beneficiaries of ritual. However, we might better define these entities by separating them into several classes. First of all, there were of course beings who originally existed as gods. Rituals served to preserve their existence as gods through providing them with sustenance and other benefits. The second class were entities that became ntr through ritual. This general category can be further divided between those who became ntr during their lifetimes, and those who became ntr after death. Examples of the first type include the king and special animals who were thought to be manifestations of the gods. Examples of those who became ntr after death include various common people who became deified, the most famous of which was probably
The Danger Of Cults
With this development it became apparent that cults were not only a danger to their own members, but could pose a serious threat to the general public.
http://www.christadelphia.org/pamphlet/cults.htm

Extractions: From Fervour to Fanaticism THE mass suicide of nine hundred men, women and children in a Guyanan jungle in 1978 brought home to many people the danger of religious fanaticism. The "Reverend" Jim Jones led his followers from California into an isolated South American village because of the pressures of the twentieth century world and his conviction of an approaching apocalypse, or dramatic end to the world. Everyone outside that community was seen as an enemy, leading eventually to such a feeling of desperate persecution that all of Jones's followers were persuaded by him to take a lethal poisoned drink. Fifteen years later, in 1993, another leader made similar prophecies to his followers. They retreated, not to another country, but into a heavily defended compound where they stockpiled food and ammunition sufficient to withstand an armed, military style attack. This community had come, over a period of time, to view those in authority as agents of evil forces directed against their chosen way of life. A simple approach from law enforcement officers brought about siege conditions at Waco, Texas which ended in a holocaust, killing virtually all who were left in the compound of buildings. The charismatic leader, David Koresh, had prophesied such a fiery end as the ultimate confirmation of the accuracy of his teachings.

No one sets out to join a cult, nor are they ever what they appear to be. The leader(s) use systematic methods of coercive persuasion and/or seduction to control those in a subordinate role to follow him/her with "rewards" for remaining loyal and "threats" should one leave. A prospective member does not have adequate information to make a fully-informed decision to join. Rather, as one becomes more involved with the group through initiation or special status, critial thinking is discouraged and usually prohibited although the leader claims otherwise. Mill Valley, CA

Educational researchers, including the authors of the Scientific American star the process of generalizing directly from classroom research is inherently unreliable Also in November , there appeared an article in Education Week star What is missing from this research? How, for example, might the star study have been made scientifically more solid, and ultimately more useful for the policymakers of California? These improvements would not have been achieved by using the now widely advocated technique of random assignment, since random assignment was in fact used. In fact, it was not the experimental structure of star but its intellectual structure that was deficient. This multimillion dollar study does not hazard a clear and detailed theoretical interpretation of its own findings. It does not, for example, answer such nitty-gritty questions as: What are the various causal factors that make smaller class size more effective for earlier grades than for later ones? Could there be alternative and even more reliable ways of achieving similar or higher student gains? Much of the literature I have read in connection with

Extractions: ALLEGATIONS OF MIND CONTROL AND PROGRAMMING BY SATANIC CULTS Click Here to Visit our Sponsors. Many adults enter therapy with no recollections of childhood sexual abuse (CSA). However, if they receive Recovered Memory Therapy (RMT), then some will recover CSA memories. Some therapists claim an 80% success rate; a few claim 100%. Often memories emerge during meetings of survivors; sometimes they materialize during self-hypnosis. Since the early 1980s, approximately 17% of the clients who recover memories of CSA go on to uncover memories of ritual abuse or of Satanic or Sadistic Ritual Abuse (SRA). Some also progress to a diagnosis of Multiple Personality Disorder (a.k.a. Dissociative Identity Disorder). Mental health professionals debated whether such memories were of real events, or were an unintended iatrogenic phenomenon arising from the experimental RMT therapeutic techniques. A split developed among professionals. Most memory researchers believed that recovered memories should not be regarded as valid unless corroboration is first obtained. Many therapists believed that the memories represent actual memories of real events. Various

MECC 7th General Assembly - MECC News Report, Vol.11
Youth Consider the Problem of cults. When religious thought is not renewed and blind fundamentalism gains ground, the cults find opportunity.
http://www.mecchurches.org/newsreport/vol11/youthproblem.asp

Extractions: MECC NEWS REPORT - Vol. 11 Winter / Spring 1999 An ecumenical youth conference was held on September 16, 1998, in Amman, Jordan, for sixty youth. The topic under consideration was Satanic Worship. Archdeacon Salem Dawani explained what led people to this kind of deviant worship: rebellion of children against their parents, depression, disorientation, and lack of confidence in societys institutions. In addition there is lack of guidance at home, in the schools and in the work place. Satanism, he said, is not a religion and does not have an organized creed or philosophy. It is the rejection of religion that emerges at times when religious establishments are weak. Dawani identified what might prepare fertile soil for such worship. Where there are big gaps between the educated classes and workers and between the rich and the poor the cults find room to work. When religious thought is not renewed and blind fundamentalism gains ground, the cults find opportunity. When family structures grow weak, when parents do not care for their children, and when society becomes absorbed in superficial things, there the cults can find a home. In his conclusion Dawani stressed the need for social and religious establishments to focus on youth and their families in order to protect them from such phenomena.

Extractions: (Set of 4) $ 24.95 It has been said that cults are the "unpaid bills of the Church." What does this strong yet strange statement really mean? How does it reflect the enormous responsibility each and every baptized person has to truly embody what he or she really professes to believe in? In this new 4-tape set, From the Reformation to Destructive Cults, you will discover that this statement refers to the fact that often times cults represent a general failure of Christians to live up to their faith, to share Christ with those who do not know Him, and to clearly proclaim the Gospel message of salvation. Such neglect has left people so spiritually hungry that they become ripe pickings for cult leaders and quite susceptible to believing bizarre doctrines and performing unusual practices. Trace the Roots of Destructive Cultism In four informative conferences, cult-survivor Mary Kochan, a former Jehovah Witness and convert to Catholicism, carefully traces the roots of the destructive cults by first focusing on the person and ideas of Martin Luther, the "Father of the Protestant Reformation." She then proceeds to chronologically examine how Protestantism has developed over the past four centuries. And rather than being a reformation, Mary shows how the historic break of the Reformers led by Luther was actually a terrible revolution that tore Christianity apart and challenged the very integrity of the Gospel message!

Extractions: Cults, or more specifically, destructive cults, are characterized by the following differences from mainstream groups: 1. In religious cults the leader is the central focus of belief. In mainstream religions, G-d is the central focus. 2. Cult recruitment includes deception and concealment of identity and requirements of affiliation. Mainstream groups use no deception and new members are fully aware of the teachings and expectations before they make a commitment. 3. Cults use mind-control techniques and forms of hypnosis to indoctrinate followers. Emotional needs are exploited and people are held psychological hostages through peer pressure, guilt, and fear. Mainstream groups do not resort to unethical means to persuade members. 4. Leaders of cults make their own rules and laws
