Lucy:
You will know if you are in a cult when the so called " leader " ask you to:
* look at him or her as your only source for truth and that truth is not based on ethical and moral teachings- it their's alone.
* sell all you own and then give them the money
* disassociate yourself from your entire family and circle of freinds and only confide in them
* make friends with others only to find out all you can baout them and then offer them that information.
* ask you to provide them physical gratification that you know in your heart is morally offensive
* request that you kill or mame another in the name of God
* make you their partner and then disgard you when you question their sence of ethics.
The List goes on and on.... having been schooled in deprogramming young people after years of their being a a cult, you need to be careful when dealing with anyone that will not offer you and open book into their backgroun. All her can be check on.
