i mean cult as in brainwashing organization, not religious denomination.
if you read modern anti cult literature, they consider things like amway to be a cult, whereas the new age movement isn't.
i've contemplated starting a cult (for something challenging) or looking into deprogramming. but where to begin?
i have an intermediate knowledge of mind control. castles in the air, reforming the past/present/future, psychological, financial & emotional dependence, cognitive dissonance, identity destabilzation, creating a threatening outside world, no valid escape route, etc. etc. etc.
