Deceptions commonly used by cults

1. Deceive people with fallacies. In order to collect money and control members, cult leaders must first deceive people to believe and attract people's admiration. For this reason, they have carefully fabricated a set of absurd fallacies such as eschatology, catastrophe, witchcraft and heaven. This is a common lie of cults at all times and in all countries.

2. Blind people in religious cloaks. In China, citizens enjoy freedom of religious belief, and normal religious activities are protected by state laws. In order to put on a legal cloak to deceive the masses and evade legal sanctions, cult organizations often make themselves similar to religion in terms of teachings and rituals in the name of religion, so as to deceive those who have religious needs but lack religious knowledge and make them relax their vigilance and mistakenly think that they are participating in normal religious organizations or activities, but in fact they are caught in the quagmire of cults.

3. Seduce people by treating diseases and avoiding disasters. Cults often make a fuss about the safety and health that people care most about every day. They usually take treating diseases and avoiding disasters as the initial bait, advocating that only by joining their organizations can they eliminate disasters and take refuge, treat diseases and strengthen their health, and "keep safe" all the year round, thus tempting the masses to join their organizations.

4. Use various tricks to scare people. Cults often use people's fear of imaginary supernatural forces such as ghosts and gods to scare people first, and then sell a "magic weapon" to avoid fear-joining a cult organization. Some ridiculous tricks, such as fortune telling, pretending to be ghosts, ants writing, writing on white paper and playing divination, are all common tricks used by some cults in rural areas in recent years to scare people.

5. Win people's hearts with small favors. An important reason for the spread of cult activities in rural areas is to take advantage of some people's difficulties in life and need help, value material interests, win people's hearts with small favors and cultivate a sense of loyalty.

6. Intimidate people by violent means. Some cult organizations use violence to force people to join the company and constantly intimidate them to continue to participate in illegal activities. In order to consolidate its power, cult organizations also struggle with "traitors" who leave the organization and "opponents" who win over their members.

In short, cult deception can be described as varied and difficult to count. These insidious and dirty means make it difficult for many people to distinguish between true and false, and they are deceived and unable to extricate themselves; Under its coercion, I can't stop, and I have no way out.
