How #Cults Use #Language to #Control
If there's one thing #cultleaders do, it's talk. A LOT. Language is an integral part of how cults keep their members #bonded, #isolated and #obedient.

Unfortunately, the pope has a lot of power as has any cardinal or high level scientology gurus who take confessions from high power and influential people.
Even if they keep their oat of silence to the particulars of the confessions, they still give informed sermons , write dogma that people of faith take to heart more than non-believers would like to.
Nation leader kiss the ring and have privatetΓͺte-Γ -tΓͺtes with the pope for reasons.

'The "growth mindset" is Microsoft's cult β a vaguely-defined, scientifically-questionable, abusively-wielded workplace culture monstrosity, peddled by a Chief Executive obsessed with framing himself as a messianic figure with divine knowledge of how businesses should work.'
'The book is centered around the theme of redemption, with the subtitle mentioning a βquest to rediscover Microsoftβs soul.β [β¦] The dark age β Steve βDevelopersβ Balmerβs Microsoft, with Microsoft stagnant and missing winnable opportunities, like mobile β contrasted against this brave, bright new era where a nearly-assertive Redmond pushes frontiers in places like AI.'
'Like any cult, it encourages the person to internalize their failures and externalize their successes.'

#Quotes #Power #Cults #Religions #Legislateture #Sects #RobertAHeinlein
Good grief----he is 100% correct and it's happening now.
A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creed into law if it acquires the political power to do so. -Robert A. Heinlein, science-fiction author (7 Jul 1907-1988) -

Let's Talk About #Sects
Oct 2023
#Xenos / #DwellXenos was originally set up as a leaderless group that rejected the structures and trappings of mainstream #churches. Springing forth from the #JesusMovement of the late 1960s and early 1970s, it focused on meeting in peopleβs homes and embracing members from the youth #countercultures. So why does the #churchβs own website admit to a history that involves #cult-like behavior?

This is going to be interestingβespecially as I have been reading a few books about #sects (as in βus vs. themβ) recently, some more, some less radical.

While searching for information on Cyrus "Koresh" Teed (+1908), self-proclaimed messiah and promotor of the concave world, I came across the interesting Australian podcast "Let's talk about sects", which happens to have a great episode on Koreshanity.
Let's talk about sects is hosted by Sarah Steel, a filmmaker and writer with a keen interest in social sciences, culture and psychology /1

In approximately one hour Owen Kelly & Ken Worpole will look at cults and sects: at how we can define these, why they spread, and what this means for cultural democracy.
