In contrast, other Christian Churches and denominations are mocked, ridiculed and attacked verbally within the cult. Take a look at the way the group looks and acts. One former cult member, speaking of his particular involvement with a cult said that the group encouraged its members to do everything in exactly the same way - to pray the same, to look the same, to talk the same. This in psychology is a classic example of group conformity. Its purpose is to ensure that no-one tries to act differently or become dissident, thus nobody questions the status quo.
Many cults give their members black and white answers .
What the group agrees with is right and what the group disagrees with is wrong. There will be no room for individual belief, or opinion even in minor areas. The group will usually wear two faces . On the one hand, does it attempt to present itself, to potential converts and the public at large, as a group of people who are like one large family, who have love among themselves, and where everyone is equal. But on the other hand, the reality is, that many members inwardly feel unfulfilled and emotionally exhausted.
