  • 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.
