Cults

Each year, hundreds of North Americans join one of the

increasing, estimated 3000 unorthodox religions that exist

across North America. The increasing number of cults, to date

in North America, is due to the fact that cults are a social

movement that attempts to help people cope with their perceived

problems with social interaction. Cult recruiters target those

who perceive themselves as different from the rest of society,

and give these individuals the sense of belonging that they

crave. Cult literature lures potential cult members by

appealing to their desperate need to socially fit in. Cults

provide a controlled family environment that appeals to

potential cult members because it is a removal from the

exterior society. Cult recruiters prey on those who see

themselves as alienated from the rest of society, and give

these people the sense of conformity that they desire. A common

method of recruiters, to obtain new members, is through chat

lines on the internet.

always use new operatives all over the world. You have to

understand what our family is about, it is about always fitting

in and never hiding the truth to be liked or cool. Are you

interested?

Jay18: Well maybe...

Fire-Shade: Give me your phone number we really shouldn't

talk about this here.

Jay18: I would rather not give...
