Recognizing Signs of Cultic Influence
Cultic influence can affect anyone, with red flags often disguised in seemingly harmless situations. Signs of cultic abuse include an assumption of your neediness, expensive involvement that extends beyond money, the use of loaded language and pretentious terms, rumors or lawsuits surrounding the group, and claims of having definitive answers to life's mysteries. Green flags indicating a safe group include welcoming questions, the ability to leave without consequences, and a healthy level of commitment without requiring a drastic lifestyle change. It is crucial to do thorough research and not solely rely on online searches to identify potential cultic influences.
