     Extractions: Conceptualizing "Anti-Cult" and "Counter-Cult" Introduction O rganized opposition to cults and sects is typically characterized as the "anti-cult movement." The argument advanced on the Religious Movements Homepage is that there are two distinct movements with easily discernable histories and objectives. The older is a religious movement , and the more recent movement to appear is essentially secular W e refer to the sectarian movement as the counter-cult movement and the secular movement as the anti-cult movement T he two groups share a common belief that "cults" pose a threat to their respective ideologies, but they are seriously at variance in their history, backgrounds, and perception of the problem, goals, and strategies. T his brief introductory essay identifies some critical differences between the two groups. As the web site develops, additional essays analyzing these two groups will be added. T he counter-cult movement is the older group. It began long before the eruption of the 1970s cult controversy. They initially challenged nineteenth century sectarian movements such as Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, Christian Scientists, and other groups deemed heretical in nature. The counter-cultists focus on doctrinal differences between NRMs and established religions and, therefore, their opposition can be classified as

105. WHAT IS A CULT?
     However, in general usage today, the word cult has a different meaning. Pointedly, are Jehovah s Witnesses a cult? So it is in this general usage  
     http://www.xjw.com/whatcult.html
     
     Extractions: What Is a C-U-L-T? Whether a religious group like Jehovah's Witnesses qualifies for being defined as a cult is an on-going debate, even among former members of the religion. To some people, the word 'cult' conjures up images of strange-dressed people with shaved heads and tamborines chanting on a busy street-corner, or a small band of extremists holed up in a remote farm house, or the mass suicide of a group of religious zealots with a charismatic leader. Yet by other definitions, even Jesus and His disciples would ostensibly be described as a cult among the Jews in their day. Generally speaking, dictionary definitions of the word make little distinction in meaning from merely a 'sect' or any group of adherents to a particular belief system. Acknowledging this diverse perception about cults, The Watchtower Society responded to charges made by some anticult organizations that Jehovah's Witnesses are a 'cult' in the February 15, 1994 Watchtower . In an article titled: "CultsWhat Are They?"

     http://www.touregypt.net/magazine/generalancientegyptianreligion.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. The Ancient Ankh, Symbol of Life

     http://bernie.cncfamily.com/acm/jonestown.htm
     
     Extractions: Once again, the aim of this transcription is not only to deepen the theoretical aspect of the issue, but to highlight and illustrate the anti-cult mindset at work. At the outset, a simple sentence: " The anti-cult propaganda resulted in the mutual envenoming that precipitated the Jonestones and Wacos ". Note that I do not say here that the tragedy was caused by the anti-cult propaganda, but that it had a part of responsibility in it, together with the cult itself, who remains the chief responsible for it. Observe, however, how anti-cult proponents are completely unwilling to accept any part of responsibility whatsoever, how unwilling they are to be open to the possibility of them having done any mistakes, and how they react violently and try to twist this simple statement in every possible ways to try and dismiss it through grotesque distortions. Here is my initial post containing the sentence. It is an answer to Keith Wyatt (who, later, in view of the obvious bias of anti-cultists, became a critic's critic as well).

Cowan (Amsterdam, London and New York: JAI, 2000) From: http://www.cesnur.org/2001/plz_march01.htm by PierLuigi Zoccatelli "Religion on the Internet" is, of course, about much more than cult wars and anti-cult terrorists. It is also, however, an interesting opportunity to revisit the latter categories in a much broader context. The book is highly recommended to scholars of religion and the Internet in general; and in particular to scholars of new religious movements, the cult wars, hate literature, and to law enforcement agencies and lawyers dealing with the more unpleasant consequences of anti-cult terrorism via the Web.

110. Identifying Marks Of An Exploitive, Abusive Group
     Go to your local library and ask for information about the group or about cultsin general. Collect critical information about the group from newspaper and  
     http://home.datawest.net/esn-recovery/artcls/marks.htm
     
     Extractions: Exploitive , abusive groups use coercion, fear tactics, deception, control of information, shame, guilt and other methods of thought reform in an effort to gain total control over their recruits and members. The use of these behavior conditioning techniques may be dangerously effective, leading to a state of deep dependence. In this regard, two basic principals are: If you can make a person behave the way you want, you can make that person believe the way you want. Sudden drastic changes in environment can lead to heightened suggestibility and to dramatic changes in attitudes and beliefs. Questions to ask are listed at the end of this article. Almost all exploitive religious groups employ some type of thought-form program to ensure control over their members. They use control of one's behavior, thoughts, emotions and information. Not all of the marks below need be used in order for a group to be a destructive cult or cultic church. Exploitive, Abusive Groups:

Help Review of The Cult of Parenthood: A Qualitative Study of Parental Alienation by Randall Watters [A most excellent article has been recently written by Amy J. L. Baker, Ph.D. on a subject that can profoundly affect the way we view those trapped in cults, how to get them into recovery, and how to understand the bigger picture of what a “cult” really i Distribution Source : ArriveNet Editorials Date : Friday - July 08, 2005 Dogpatch (ArriveNet Editorials - Jul 08, 2005) In this article I will be using certain quotable sections (by permission) of Amy’s work in this field to bolster what I have been teaching for some time, and that is that “cults,” or high control groups (often not just religions) are merely an extended family. Just as one’s one family can go “bad” either through ignorant or controlling parent(s), or even through the process of divorce and jealousy. In understanding the nature of familial control, one can easily understand much of the “secrecy” about cults and why they are not very complex at all. Understanding this can lead to a major leap in understanding, growth and compassion for those still trapped in a control mindset. It can also greatly simplify our technique in reaching out to others, or “witnessing” to those trapped in a cult.
