When people leave cults, they don't know that they left a cult.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
One person's religion is another person's cult.
I had a very loyal cult-like following, I feel. And I don't mean to complain about that.
This may sound insulting to some of my cult studies friends, but there's a lot of cult studies people who ignore, shall we say, the wider canvas - because they simply don't know about its existence or they don't know how it operates.
In a cult intervention information is presented about the group that the member is most often not aware of.
Cult movies are basically movies Hollywood missed the first time - that they should have gotten - and then the fans got it and made it successful.
A cult is a religion with no political power.
Many cults start off with high ideals that get corrupted by leaders or their board of advisors who become power-hungry and dominate and control members' lives. No group with high ideals starts off as a 'cult'; they become one when their errant ways are exposed.
On the web the thinking of cults can spread very rapidly and suddenly a cult which was 12 people who had some deep personal issues suddenly find a formula which is very believable.
A cult following is a nice way of saying very few people like you.
What's a cult? It just means not enough people to make a minority.
