Cult contradictions exist in how destructive cults work, in what the leaders say, and because the doctrine is totalitarian in nature, typically there are cult contradictions here as well. They are usually a product of the leaders thinking and are used by the cult leaders to justify their own actions, to manipulate the members, or both.
This is list of the more common cult contradictions that are present in many destructive cults. Within any particular group there may be cult contradictions specific to that group because of the particular doctrine.
For example, there are frequently cult contradictions with respect to the emotions that are allowed or not. In some groups you learn how to access best states or peak states and supposedly within this state you can experience all the emotions. But if you are experiencing a bad emotion, then you are not in your best state.
Do you have personal experience of any cult contradictions, whether listed here or not?
Here's your chance to write about your own experience. To get it off your chest, if that helps!
Let the world know that there are unscrupulous and evil people around, and explain how they manipulate others. Much of the defense against mind control is understanding how it works. Use your experience to educate and help others!
Your entry can be totally anonymous. We know this can be very important! And lastly, all submissions and comments are screened before publication to make it safe for people to write without fear of 'retaliation'.
