Showing titles in Cults

Re: Le-gîon & the Other Side of Suicide is an autobiography of a cult upbringing: decades of unspeakable horror and harrowing escape! Life denied under guise of a holiness uglier than sin - trapped among zealots drunken with control. Witness to egregious inhumanity, not limited to mental/sexual/spiritual abuse of minors through elderly, mind control/manipulation, blackmail/extortion, grand larceny, drugging, human trafficking, cult sanctioned rape, even perversion eliciting suicide.

The Cult Around the Corner is dedicated to bringing reason, understanding, and open communication to an often explosive subject: the involvement of oneself, a friend, or loved one in a group that might be called a "cult".

For decades, Asaram Bapu presided over a politically influential empire built on blind faith.

What's a loony or eccentric organization to one expert is often seen by others as a religion or sect, which are terms loaded with less cultural stigma. Whatever the best working definition might be, here we present four of popular culture's craziest cults of our time. One thing that baffles society is the fact that so many people choose to follow a single man and look to him as a messiah. Cult members...

A highly successful but unscrupulous health mogul promises his followers 120 years of robust life if they stick to his “Bible-based” regimen and buy his products. Through his vast Wellness 120 empire, based in the Portland, Oregon area, the charming and charismatic Dr. Tyler Belknap has amassed a cult-like following of people who are working to achieve 12 decades of life. In nationwide infomercials and books, the fast-talking Texas adman-turned-preacher targets Christian consumers with Biblical-sounding promises of health and longevity. Many of his followers seem to enjoy improved ...

This book is designed as a “shorter” explanation of the ideas presented in my larger book, “Behind the Ritual Mask” which seeks to define fundamental principles of religion. I’m hoping this book will serve as a primer for the original book and spur an interest in reading it. The following contains excerpts from the original Forward of the book.When an entrenched, anti-reason culture is presented with new ideas that challenge its fundamental premises, it relies on the power of what is taken as knowledge in the culture in order to defend itself. Indeed, when corrupt ideas are ...

A finales de los noventa, en dos pequeños pueblos de la Bassa Modenese, una zona situada en el centro norte de Italia, los servicios sociales separaron a dieciséis niños de sus familias y los enviaron a otros lugares del país. Los padres eran sospechosos de pertenecer a una secta de pedófilos satánicos que realizaban rituales nocturnos en el cementerio bajo supervisión de un cura católico muy querido por los vecinos.

This idea of vindicating his life, rife with strife, moves him. He's endured just about every wrong a human can, to the point of losing his mind. He will no longer hide.

Sekter findes overalt i vores samfund, men de kan være svære at få øje på. De eksisterer dog i bedste velgående, og der er mange. I serien SEKTENS GREB fortæller tidligere medlemmer fra blandet andet Jehovas Vidner, Faderhuset, og Evangelist/Powerhouse om deres vej ind og ud af et sekterisk miljø. Vi går bag om de problematikker, som sekter skaber. Vi tager hele rejsen fra den første kontakt og rekruttering til sekten, til sektens psykologi, livet i en sekt, livet som pårørende, exit og de ofte meget store kon­sekvenser, det har at have tilhørt en sekt.

Den 20. marts 1995 skete det værste terrorangreb på japansk jord siden 2. verdenskrig. Angrebet blev begået med nervegassen sarin, og terroristerne kom fra sekten Aum Shinrikyo - en sekt ledet af den blinde selverklærede frelser Shoko Asahara. 12 mennesker døde, og omkring 5500 blev såret i angrebet. Det skulle vise sig, at det ikke var den eneste forbrydelse, sekten stod bag... I serien "SEKTENS MAGT" kan du komme helt tæt på nogle af verdenshistoriens mest bizarre og brutale sekter. Du skal høre om alt fra UFO-religioner, dødelige giftgasangreb til okkulte ritualer.
