Top 5 Signs of Cult Behavior

The differences between religions and cults can sometimes be subtle. Yet there are some tell-tale signs of cult behavior that make them stand apart.
1. Demanding an Inappropriate Degree of Loyalty to The Cult’s Leader – A religious leader is supposed to be just a conduit of wisdom, but a cult leader claims to be even more than that.
2. Punishing Members for Leaving – whether you choose to be in a religion, or a cult is supposed to be a personal choice. But cults won’t let you go.
3. Opposing Critical Thinking and Demonizing Criticism – Cults fear criticism more than anything else as it can expose them for what they are.
4. Crossing Personal Boundaries – Many cults devolve into inappropriate sexual practices or the taking of personal possessions.
5. Exercising Behavior Control – A cult doesn’t just give behavioral advice; it seeks to control the member’s every action.
