Here's what you need to know about anti-cult knowledge
↓↓↓
Cults refer to illegal organizations that are established in the name of religion, qigong, or other names, deify their ringleaders, and use means such as creating and disseminating false reasoning and heresies to confuse and deceive others, develop and control members, and endanger society. Most cults spread rumors under the guise of disseminating religious doctrines and saving mankind, and they usually have a self-proclaimed enlightened leader with supernatural powers, who controls the masses in the form of secret societies, and generally collects money by unscrupulous means as their main purpose.
According to the China Anti-Cult Association, the cult organizations that are currently relatively active in China are: the Disciples' Association, Almighty God, the Shouting Sect, the Unification Church, the Guanyin Method, the Blood and Water Holy Spirit, the All-Scope Church, the Three Classes of Servants, the Lingxian True Buddha Sect, the Administrative Deacon Station of the Chinese Mainland, the Lingling Sect, the South China Church, the Ordained King, the Church of the Lord God, the World Elijah Evangelical Missionary Church, the Yuantun Method, the New Testament Church, the Dami Missionary Church, and the Children of the Heavenly Father.
01
"Master" worship
The "leaders" of the cults have gone all out to deify themselves, dressed themselves up as living "gods" by deception, claimed that they possess many supernatural powers and powers, and tricked cult members into obeying the orders of the "leaders" and living and dying for the "leaders."
02
Mind control
In order to achieve the evil goal of making their members absolutely loyal to them, the "leader" of the cult has used all kinds of fallacies and heresies, lies, deceptions, psychological hints, and other methods to carry out "brainwashing" and mental control over its members by means of punishment and threats, so that they will lose their ability to make independent judgments and "can not get in but cannot get out."
03
Fabricating heresies
The cult "leader" propagates specific "apocalyptic theories" and "theories of human catastrophe" and other fallacies and uses all kinds of intimidation methods to create a panic and an atmosphere of terror so that its members fanatically and blindly follow the cult "leader."
04
Collect money
The "leader" of the cult demands that "its members should be completely dedicated" and will do whatever it takes to take advantage of it, and at the same time, they sell their books, audio-visual products, and practice supplies at high profits, so as to get rich.
05
Secret societies
Cults generally establish a strict organizational system with the "leader" as the core, adopt very covert methods of communication, and recruit cult members through secret gatherings, "proselytizing," "practicing," and even using violent means.
06
Endangering society
It is prominently manifested in the use of extreme means to confront the real society, which not only threatens individual lives and group interests, but also endangers public interests and social stability.
01
Destruction of the family
The cult instigated its members to abandon their families and go out to spread the cult, preaching that "the more it spreads, the more it will enter the kingdom of heaven in the future." As a result, many members have run away from home, causing great suffering to their families and even leading to the breakdown of their families and the destruction of their families.
02
Scam money
Some cults spread the message that "disaster is now coming, and money and food are not safe at home, but only when they are placed in heaven can they be safe, and a donation can be rewarded tenfold." Some have even set up so-called "heavenly banks" to trick the masses into handing over their property, thus harming many kind-hearted people, and some of the deceived masses have even handed over all the grain and money they have harvested over a year's hard work to the cult.
03
Incitement against the government and disturb social order
The leader of the cult incited members to vent their dissatisfaction with reality and reactionary government. At the instigation of cults, there have been many incidents in some areas in which cult members have besieged government organs, beaten grassroots cadres, and obstructed public security officers and police officers from performing their official duties, with the result that some government organs have been unable to carry out their work normally.
04
Residual life
An important method used by cults to deceive the masses into joining the cult is to claim that "believing in religion can cure diseases," saying nonsense that "believing in the Lord can avoid disasters and praying can cure diseases," and that "as long as you pray sincerely and do not need to take injections or medicines, your illness will naturally be cured," and they do not allow their sick members to go to the hospital to see a doctor, or they use deception to treat their members. As a result, some people have delayed treatment and died, or have been killed or disabled by witchcraft by cults. After joining the cult, some people went insane, and some even committed murder. The cult also threatens its members not to betray the organization by means of kidnapping and injuring them, otherwise they will take revenge by cutting off their hands and feet, cutting off their ears, going to prison, and poisoning them to death.
05
Poisoning teenagers
Cults take advantage of the weakness of minors' low ability to discern and strive to recruit members among minors, causing irreparable damage to their physical and mental health and growth.
01
Be wary of reactionary calls
We may receive reactionary propaganda calls, and foreign organizations will unscrupulously harass mainland telephone users. When you receive a reactionary propaganda call, if the other party is a recorded call, you just hang it up. If you find that your identity has been stolen, you should stand up and publicly refute it or file a lawsuit to protect your legitimate rights and interests.
02
Beware of reactionary propaganda
If we encounter all kinds of reactionary propaganda by cult organizations, we must analyze them rationally, distinguish between right and wrong, and not believe, watch, listen, or spread them.
03
Advocating science
Participate in healthy and uplifting social activities that are beneficial to the body and mind, and absolutely must not participate in cult organizations, sect organizations, or other illegal organizational activities under the guise of dispelling illness and fitness, and cultivating one's mind and character. It is necessary to always maintain a high degree of political vigilance, ask more questions about the reasons for everything, prevent being deceived, and prevent doing illegal and criminal things.
In the face of cults, we must do the following:
Do not hear, do not believe, and do not preach. Do not listen to the propaganda of the cult, do not believe the nonsense of the cult, and still less help the cult to spread it. If some of your relatives, friends, neighbors, or classmates believe in the cult, you should remind them not to be fooled from the angle of caring for and helping them.
In the face of cults, we keep a clear head
Advocating science, opposing cults, caring for families, and cherishing life
Do not see, do not listen, do not believe, do not spread
Care for the next generation and say no to cults
The anti-cult campaign starts with you and me
Start by each of us
