Cults are still in existence today through religious sects, deceiving fitness programs, supplement companies, and many other forms. Cults had first arisen in the 1950s, but they've made a large enough impact that they still exist today. When a debate about cults comes into a conversation, one side will always explain cults existences through brain washing tactics, while the other side will defend a cult member by explaining that they made the choice to join a cult.

"This present volume is divided into two parts, both of which deal with explaining and refuting false teachings. I take very seriously Paul’s inspired instructions to church elders and leaders in Titus 1:9, that they must “be able both to exhort in sound doctrine and to refute those who contradict.” The contents of this book fall into the latter category.In my nearly forty-nine-year career as a seminary professor, I taught many courses that qualify as exhorting in sound doctrine; but I also taught several that focused on refuting those who contradict it. For many years I taught a two-...

Sex trafficking. Self-help coaching. Forced labour. Mentorship. Multi-level marketing. Gaslighting. Investigative journalist Sarah Berman explores the shocking practices of NXIVM, an organization run by Keith Raniere and his high-profile enablers (Seagram heir Clare Bronfman; Smallville actor Allison Mack; Battlestar Galactica actor Nicki Clyne). In her deeply researched account, Berman unravels how young women seeking creative coaching and networking opportunities found themselves blackmailed, literally branded, near-starved, and enslaved.

Imagine a place where you are accepted and loved, where there is complete honesty and transparency, where you can be yourself and no longer have to strive to be someone else. Envision a safe haven where you could live in perfect peace and have everything you needed and wanted. That was the dream - the hope - that Trinity Foundation offered and that we naively believed. I Can’t Hear God Anymore is an inspiring and instructive example of how normal people caught in the skillful manipulations of an abusive cult can find their way back to spiritual and psychological health.

In this short book I work in reverse order. I begin by sharing where I’m at now in dealing with cults, and then I work back to explain how I got to this place over the years. I share some personal experiences and key Scriptures, which have helped me grow in this area and find a footing in dealing with cults. I focus mainly on the core and common error of them all, i.e. denying the true identity of Jesus, and therefore the true message of the gospel. (2 Corinthians 11:4) Let me define a cult very simply here: Any offshoot of Christianity that denies the identity of Jesus, and adds that you...

This small book offers a critical presentation of meme theory as developed by Richard Dawkins and Susan Blackmore, which helps in understanding why some new religious movements have become more popular over time. Ideas, or memes, survive by making copies of themselves in host environments–usually human brains. But with fewer hosts than ideas, competition exists for these scarce enclaves. Moreover, the strongest ideas are not necessarily the best but rather those that can survive and make copies of themselves.

"Time is that in which we live - it is horizontal. It is from A to B to C to D; it is in a line. Eternity is vertical. It is not from A to B and from B to C. It is from A to more A to still more A. It goes on upwards. The moment is rare because it happens only when meditation has reached ripening, maturity, when you have touched your innermost core." The vertical line opens a door to eternity.

As an adult, Lauren Hough has had many identities: an airman in the U.S. Air Force, a cable guy, a bouncer at a gay club. As a child, however, she had none. Growing up as a member of the infamous cult The Children of God, Hough had her own self robbed from her. The cult took her all over the globe - to Germany, Japan, Texas, Chile - but it wasn't until she finally left for good that Lauren understood she could have a life beyond 'The Family'. Along the way, she's loaded up her car and started over, trading one life for the next.

Symbols have been used by secret societies since time immemorial; their power is used to control minds as they seek to transcend established laws and governments. The Illuminati is perhaps the largest secret organization in the world, and while many have yet to come to terms with the reality that they are introducing a New World Order, those who have embraced the truth have made positive steps to inform others of what could mark the start of yet another dark age.
