Cutting Rocks

So imagine you are an every-day, run-of-the-mill stone mason. You cut rocks, someone else hauls them off to Pharaoh's monument. Your daddy cut rocks. Your grand daddy cut rocks. It is who you are. A rock cutter.

Now along comes this new guy with a stick who demands the slaves be freed. You kinda like the idea of freeing the slave people, because it means you will have more work. Maybe we can add on that second bedroom finally? Or even upgrade to a new house one of them leaves behind!

Put NO! Your Pharaoh tells those slave folks to stay put and be quiet. So you figure law and order is OK and keep cutting stone.

Then comes this terrible plague where the whole river turns to blood. You can still cut stone, but damn you are thirsty. Then suddenly there are frogs everywhere. Getting in the stone tools and pooping on the floor and in the well. And locusts and lice and people are getting sick! You even miss a few days of work, just to be sure not to get sick.

Next thing you know, some strange people come by painting blood on door frames and sneaking away. That's kind a weird, but maybe tomorrow you'll start on that new block of stone. It will be an interesting challenge because it has odd cracks in it.

Only in the morning you find out your oldest kid is dead. And the slaves are gone. He was only 8 years old. That child had only begun to learn to cut stone. And now he won't learn anything every again.

What the heck, man?

Now, you are really pissed off.
Mad at the Pharaoh.
Mad at the slaves.
Really mad at that guy with the stick.

So when the Pharaoh says, "Put on your shields, boys, we are gonna get revenge!", you suit up and march right along. After a couple of days chasing the runaway slaves, they finally get cornered on the coast. The Generals get you all lined up and ready to charge...

The end. Well, the end of that stone mason anyway.

When is a Group a Cult?

What is a Cult?

Cults come in many forms including religious, financial, and political.  Cults exploit their members by convincing them they are doing the right thing by belonging to the cult while taking advantage of them sexually, emotionally, and/or financially.

Image result for cult members

Groups that have many of the following features are classified as cults.  
  • Authoritarian
  • Unquestionable doctrine
  • No meaningful financial disclosure
  • Fear of the outside world
  • Leaving the group is bad
  • Exploitation of members
  • Followers feel they can never be "good enough".
  • Leader is always right.
  • Leader has exclusive access to truth

Recruiting Cult Members


A person's who becomes part of a cult group has their identity slowly linked to the cult.  Indoctrination is a slow and friendly process.  There are no obvious threats to those being recruited into the cult.  

A common recruitment feature of a cult is to have in-group/out-group messaging: "we are good and they are bad".  People are triggered to be in the group so they think they are better than those outside the group.

Once a person has become involved in a cult, their self identity has become tightly linked to the group and therefore the group is seen as a part of who they are.

Cult members are being exploited.  No one wants to believe they are being exploited.  

Cult members behave as if their minds are infected. A sort of mental immune system will resist any change to the cult beliefs and behaviors.

Cult members will strongly emotionally react to anyone who says "That might be a cult". Intense emotional denial is one clear defining feature of individuals who have become entrapped by a cult. 

Examples of Cults


Examples of cult (and their leaders) include:

  • Al Qaida "The Foundation" (Osama Bin Laden)
  • Amway/American Way (Richard DeVos, Jay Andel)
  • Branch Davidians (Victor Houteff, David Koresh)
  • Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Joseph Smith)
  • Democratic Workers Party (Lyndon LaRouche, Marlene Dixon )
  • Hare Krishnas (Swami Prabhupada)
  • Mary Kay (May Kay Ash)
  • Jehovah's Witnesses (Charles Russell, Nathan Knorr)
  • International Churches of Christ (Baron Stone, Alexander Campbell)
  • NXIVM (Keith Raniere, Nancy Salzman)
  • Scientology (L. Ron Hubbard, Greta Van Susteren)
  • Shaklee (Forrest Shaklee)
  • Shining Path (Abimael Guzmán)
  • The Collective (Ayn Rand, Alan Greenspan)
  • Unification Church (Sun Myong Moon)
  • Worker's Revolutionary Party (Gerry Healy, Vanessa Redgrave)


Note that the above list is a small sampling of those organizations that have been legally (by law) identified as cults  in France, Germany, Japan, England, Australia, and/or the United States.

How Can You Help Cult Members?


The best prevention for cults is education.
The best cure for cult members is empathy.
You may have to leave the cult member's life.

Cults are a form of mental illness, a social and cultural infestation that requires diagnosis and treatment.  

Like drug addicts, alcoholics and gambling addicts, cult members can destroy families, communities, and cultures.
Image result for alcohol leaving the systemDeprogramming, the kidnapping and hold cult members against their will in order to un-indoctrinate them, does not work.  It may make the family member and friends feel better, after all they have "done something", but will most likely neither cure nor heal the cult members mind.  


The natural impulse is to confront your friend or loved one immediately, but the cults are ready for that. If it’s a cult then they will have planted a number of mental “booby traps” into the minds of their members. These booby traps are designed to be triggered by a number of common reactions to discovery of involvement in their group.

A cult knows it will be identified as a cult, and so they preempt that event by telling their new recruit that anyone who says they are in a cult is Satan (or some such enemy). Telling a cult member they are in a cult does not work.

Love the cult member. Treating them with empathy, understanding, and respect (the Golden Rule) works best for friends and family.  The cult will have portrayed you as an enemy and therefore you must constantly demonstrate you are not the cult members enemy.

Most of us are not equipped mentally or emotionally to help cult members leave their cults. Professional help is usually required.  Often long term counselling is need to help the cult member leave and recover from their cult.

Unless you know what you are doing, you may have to consider removing that cult member from your life.  Often those closest to cult members will be identified by the cult as being a problem.  Once this occurs, anything you do or say will be seen as "wrong" and exiting their day-to-day life becomes the best option for everyone involved.

Human Specious

What is the price 
of a human's existence 
compared to the price 
of the species?

Both planet 

and species 
have more meaning 
than you.

Ought I value 

my species 
more than 
my cells?

Am I born 

indebted 
to my species?

We will have no morality 

to speak of 
without the survival 
of our species.

By technology 

our species has come 
to a moment of great potential 
and greater danger.

Without some control of birth rates 

any species 
will consume itself 
into extinction.

How many wars will it take 

before our species realizes 
that us and us is always better 
than us and them?

The self fades toward oblivion 

from the brilliance of a hundred billion 
narcissistic copies 
of the species human.
