Such programmes aim to dilute people’s individuality, change their core belief systems and alter their concept of themselves.<BR/><BR/>This is done by imposing a “totalistic ideology” which “explains everything” Such groups will say they are “THE WAY”, the “ONLY WAY” be it in religion, science, self-help, psychotherapy or politics. <BR/><BR/>Lifton (cult expert) points out that "included in this mystique is a sense of ‘higher purpose’, of ‘having directly perceived some imminent law of social development’, of being themselves the vanguard of this development" Consequently, all other groups are charlatans, shams, impostors, degenerate, etc. <BR/><BR/>Normally they have authoritarian leaders and lieutenants at all levels and/or they venerate the works of dead leaders to justify their totalistic ideology and actions. Not choosing the group’s Way will usually lead to humiliation, damnation or death. <BR/><BR/>To achieve this they such a phenomenon members undergo what has been called “brainwashing”, “mind control” in order to achieve “Groupthink”.<BR/><BR/>I, MICKY, AM THE TRUTH & BEAUTY THAT SURROUNDS THE LORD.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07940745178193985942noreply@blogger.com
