Quote of the Day:
'Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.' - Philo
A definition of a cult: "Any group with an elitist cause and view of itself,
which has a pyramid type of authoritarian leadership structure with all
teaching and guidance coming from that person/persons at the top. The
group will claim to be the only way to God, Nirvana, Paradise, ultimate
reality, full potential etc., and will use thought reform or mind
control techniques to gain control and keep their members."
"To have
someone you love in a cult is like a living death. I compare it to the
grief of watching a person die knowing there is a cure and being unable
to use it."
- Henrietta Crampton in 'Cults and their Consequences'.
"Do we really want to be funding an organisation that turns supporters into victims in its pursuit of power and wealth? ...Ultimately, this is not about religious freedom. In Australia there are no limits on what you can believe. But there are limits on how you can behave. It is called the law, and no one is above it." More here.
- Senator Nick Xenophon addressing the Australian Senate.
