Title Mind control: The secret weapon utilised by religious cults to control their followers
 
Creator Pretorius, S.P.
 
Subject — Behavioural Change; Cults; Mind Control; Religious Cults
Description The aim of this article is to create awareness of the dangers of religious cults. The process utilised by these cults to recruit members and to control their lives is so subtle that members are led to believe that they joined out of their own free will. A brief discussion of what religious cults are as well as how they function is followed by an explanation of mind control and how it is utilised by cults. This article maintains that mind control is the secret weapon with which leaders of cults lure their followers under false pretences to mislead, control and make them dependent on the cult.
