Why do people join cults?

[God]

 

[DigglerII]

Because cult cannot come to you :blush2:

 

[Leo]

Ask Tom Cruise.

 

[Prick]

Because they have no life.

 

[ROBERTSON]

Because they are weak, and need some one to run their lives.

And it doesn't have to be a "cult", it could be an adult who "found religion", in one of the major big box religions.

 

[Signingin]

Loneliness and a desire to be needed.

 

[HWYL]

Accuse they are immature and have no idea about life.

 

[Prick]

Loneliness and a desire to be needed.

Correct.

The man killed in a crossbow murder-suicide pact in Germany is believed to have led a cultish group devoted to medieval folklore and treated the women around him like slaves, reports say.

The bodies of Torsten W and two women , alongside three crossbows.

The deaths were linked to two more deaths in Germany on Monday.

Torsten W appeared to have controlled the women like an oppressive sect leader, German media reports.

The alleged cult-like leader, 53, and woman, Kerstin E, 33, were found in bed, hand in hand, impaled with arrows from the modern crossbow.

Farina C, 30, who had been hit in the neck with an arrow, was lying on the floor.

The three had checked in on Friday evening, for three nights without breakfast, and the bodies were found by a room maid.

The above,...just another cult.

It doesn't matter if someone is weak or needy, a cult is a cult, regardless of what you want to call it, calling a cult a church, does not change what it is.

Current religions throughout the world, maintain their existence by indoctrinating the young, are just more examples of a cult.

If a government had the guts to make brain washing the young illegal, religion would be gone in a generation.

Anybody who disagrees with that, either has been brain washed, or simply enjoys the power that comes with running the cult/religion.
As some are not believers themselves.
