Cults:
1. Are they asking for your money?
2. Are they asking for your body?
3. Are you asked to break your own sense of ethical conduct or integrity?
4. Are there secrets?
5. Is there blind faith- believe without being able to see for yourself?
6. Are there dual standards? Where members are supposed to doing something except for the leader/ Guru/ and their inner circle.
7. Are you forbidden or discouraged from hanging out with your old friends or family members?
8. Is it humorless- takes themselves their ideology too seriously?
9. Do you feel dependent?
10. Is there confusion between power and wisdom/kindness?
11. Does the quality give the sense of being amongst those that have been born again?
12. Fanaticism? This is the right and only way.
13. This group is special and no one else will be saved or receive enlightenment.
