NON-AUTHORITARIAN STRUCTURE

PERSONALITY PROFILE FOR THOSE PRONE TO CULT INVOLVEMENT

There are certain dependent personality types which are particularly
susceptible to the lure of cult involvement. Some cults target
specific age ranges toward which their indoctrination efforts are
focused.

It is not uncommon for the 18 to 26 year old group to be targeted by
groups because during this time the individuals' minds are often still
in a questioning mode. Life's values have not been totally solid-
ified. They are still eager to try new things, to be accepted by
peers and to seek thrills. They are also often displaced from their
support structure and homes because of searches for jobs, enlistment
in the military, or attendance at college. Of the members of cults
who have been studied, 80% display dependent personality types. Some
key indicators of a dependent personality are:

1. Intelligence
2. Low self esteem
3. Low achievement
4. The feeling of not being lovable
5. Feeling of isolation
6. Problems dealing with stress
7. Problems in social/sexual interaction

A youth displaying these traits, (whether they are temporary in nature
because of some change in his/her environment, due to stress, or are
indicators of the person's true psychological makeup) can be described
as possessing a "classic addict mentality." He or she is a potential
addict just waiting for an addiction to come along. Too commonly
addiction comes in the form of alcohol and drug abuse. However, many
other opportunities for unhealthy addiction are available, including
membership and participation in negative deviant groups. Chemical drug
and alcohol abuse is sometimes used as an organized recruiting
approach by deviant groups who take advantage of the addictive behav-
iors in potential "converts."

People with addictive mentalities are feeling emotional pain because
of their unsuccessful relationships and feelings of inadequacy as they
try to adjust to their environment. Addiction (to substances or peer
groups) is an effort to dull their personal pain, if even for a short
period of time and to forget for a moment the anxieties and stress
which haunt them. Participation in an authoritarian movement or other
deviant group is an addictive process. The longer one is involved,
the greater the control exercised by the group over the "addict."

Fifteen percent of cult members studied are personality types who are
normally well adjusted, but for some reason are undergoing a temporary
(anomic/addictive mentality) susceptibility due to stress or change in
their lives. These people could be classified as "situational cult-
ists", not "career cultists," although deep involvement in a cult,
even for a short period of time, may have long-ranging effects.

The farm crisis has placed many Americans in a situation of temporary
susceptibility to cult and deviant movement groups. Normally stable,
mature adults have seen their life structures shattered. They
are angry, hurt and in pain. They are open to anyone who says that
they can aid in relieving that pain.

Others who may be situationally susceptible are prisoners, service men
(especially new enlistees), the handicapped, recent divorcees looking
for peace, transients, runaways, alienated idealists, long term
unemployed, foreign nationals who are living in a new country and
youth without a purpose, i.e., especially college students who really
don't know why they are there or what they are working toward as a
career. College campuses are very fertile ground for cult and deviate
movement recruiting efforts. Junior and Senior high schools also
provide a ready source of potential converts as youths experience
teenage rebelliousness, the open availability of many destructive
influences, almost unlimited freedom, and weakening of the family
structure.

Some examples of Authoritarian groups are The Way International, which
includes at least 150,000 members internationally. Its mission is to
establish a "theocracy" as an alternative to our present democratic
system of government. This is intended to occur through the agency of
a 3.5 million person army by 1995. The Way International is probably
the most aggressive and successful cult group in the United States
today. It embodies the greatest danger for our present system of
government.

The Unification Church (The Moonies) believe that Reverend Sun Myung
Moon is Jesus Christ personified. The Moonies combine religious and
political approaches but Moon's aims seem to be primarily political.
He desires to assume control of the government of the United States
and to enhance and support the government of the Republic of Korea.
The Unification Church utilizes intense mind control of initiates and
all its members.

Some Nonauthoritarian movements include the Church of Scientology with
headquarters in Los Angeles and England. Scientology targets young
adults, generally not less than 25 years of age, and utilizes inten-
sive psychological stripping techniques by way of "auditors" using lie
detector machines. Once adherents have obtained a "clear" (free from
"sin") status, they believe themselves to be "gods" who then can
participate in the co-creation of the world. This godhood status
often brings them into conflict with normal societal institutions,
such as the police. The Church of Scientology expends much effort
infiltrating the law enforcement community and to gaining access to
police files.

The Ananda Marga is a group which started in India in the sixties.
Its members believe that only they are qualified to exercise effective
control of the world. They believe that they belong in control of the
universe. One disturbing tenet of the group is that they believe that
they are the only group in the world which should have control of
nuclear weapons. Their mission is to take the nuclear weapons from
those who have them now. The group is primarily urban in nature, but
has major training center, one near Steamboat Springs, Colorado.

There are hundreds of other movements, cults, sects and religions
which have less-than-positive motives in comparison to the orderly
structure of the government of the United States and other nations.
Many groups do not fall within pure Authoritarian or Nonauthoritarian
definitions, but embody a combination of structures much the same as
the infinite variations in philosophy between the pure forms of
religion and pure political movements. The flaw in the cult-sect
phenomenon is that any adherent with sufficient charisma, who happens
to disagree with the prevailing cult authorities can splinter off and
start his own group according to his own "divine inspiration." This
creates a great deal of confusion when trying to track groups through
their establishment and growth process. Often, names of the groups
are changed as well as names of members.

However, becoming familiar with the major characteristics outlined
here will allow the reader to at least: 1. recognize a movement for
what it is, 2. group it into a general category. A great deal of
additional information is available about specific groups which exist
and operate in this area.

This is offensive to many of us, conservatives and liberals.

I'd bet everything that you have internet muscles, but in person, the story is much different. If you said the type of crap the you post, you'd have chronic case of black eyes.
