While all these things are good and should be done, prayer is better and should not be forgotten. Let us all pray the rosary for the victims of the terrorist acts and their families, and for our government leaders. We've all heard about cults. Modern religious cults are religious groups where members stop thinking for themselves and follow their leaders blindly, even to the point of committing mass suicide, like the followers of Jim Jones in Jonestown, Guyana. Usually, cult members don't realize they're in a cult.
Cults are very widespread today.
Some experts say there are as many as 3,000 cults in the USA alone, and the governments of many other countries have already taken action against this growing threat. It's not by asking the leaders of the organization or by asking the members or followers. No-one will ever admit that they belong to a cult. Fortunately, there are people who make it their business to study cults. From their studies they have found that even though cults believe in different things, they all act in similar ways.
