Lost Souls : The World of Cults.
Unit 6.
Charisma is often used to describe a difficult trait to reach even an indefinable personality that frequently includes the capability apparently supernatural or extraordinary to implement charm, persuade and inspire to well-to-do people.
A cult group is a united group by a demagogic doctrine and led by a charismatic leader who pretends to be the same divinity or a chosen by it, or else a possessor or the absolute truth.
The leaders demand their orders be executed without any critic. they demand a total adherence to the group and force under psychological pressure to break with all teh social bonds : parents , couple, friends, work, studies, etc. They live in a close community and in total dependency on the group.
They eliminate the individual freedom. They control the information that their followers get by manipulating it. They use psychological tehniques which deprive the followers`s will and reasoning. Everybody is an enemy out of the group.
