Guest guest Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 Cults don't force, they manipulate (ie, get someone to do something you want them to do, by getting them to think it was their idea = no responsibility on the manipulator). I do think this happens in certain spiritual circles, even Amma ones, at least from my experience. Cults also trick you into joining, because you wouldn't want to join if you knew what you were getting into: I think this happens, though not on a conscious direct level. It happens from misinformation from ignorant devotees living in their own world (mind), who pass along inaccurate or incomplete information. tom Ammachi , " Julia Milin " <juliamilin wrote: > > Wow, Woody, those are some pretty lofty claims about Amma's > organization being a cult.
