Quotes " Accusations of substantive abuse do not have to be proved. They have to be investigated. An organization that does not have genuine policies and practices of transparency and accountability is per se condemned " . " Statements such as that an organization's founder and his or her core leaders have never been brought before a court are crude and dishonest in the extreme " . " Cult defenders persistently employ a number of blunt tools: demeaning, name-calling, demonizing, slandering, stalking both on and off the Internet, intimidation, distortion and misinterpretation of what has been said. They muck-rack like McCarthyites, and attack individuals, quite commonly for faults they have not committed, instead of address issues " . " If we emphasize qualities of group-think and non-think in groups termed (accurately or not) `cults', we will end up comforted, with our finger pointed forever accusingly out, rather than considering our own capacities. In a way, is Humanity itself cultic in some significant and unacknowledged way cultic? If we are, we might considered assisting each other out of the dilemma " .
