Introduction

I’m going to make a case for something, and there are many of you who won’t agree with it. Though, the reasons for this are varied, it will be a tough pill to swallow. If you were on the other side of the fence you’d be able to see it.

Seven Signs You’re in a Cult

1. Opposing critical thinking
2. Isolating members and penalizing them for leaving
3. Emphasizing special doctrines outside scripture
4. Seeking inappropriate loyalty to their leaders
5. Dishonoring the family unit
6. Crossing Biblical boundaries of behavior (versus sexual purity and personal ownership)
7. Separation from the Church

Above are a reasonably complete set of criteria for determining whether you may be a member of a cult. It’s funny how easy it is to “go with the flow” to an immense degree that you don’t even realize what’s burning down around you.
