my favorite quotes:
Isn't joining a cult a choice?
Some of the initial steps of joining a cult may, indeed, appear to be individual choices.
But the deck is stacked. In nearly every case, the cult or the recruiter is withholding important information from you. Information, that had you but known, would have sent you screaming in the other direction.
In U.S. law, the tactics that cults use are known as undue influence. The best-known example is the nurse who influences an elderly patient to make her a beneficiary of their will. Something similar is alleged to take place in a cult.
