Cults offer set answers to hard questions. While many wonder about these questions, some cultists have the answers. Some cults have demanding disciplines. The Moonie salesman sets a personal goal for raising funds for the church, and feels compelled to reach it daily. Mormons and Jehovah s Witnesses have long lists of things that they must do and others that they must not do.
Some cults have a world vision.
Some cults harmonize Eastern and Western thought. Unity, Christian Science, Scientology, and many others all blend elements from Hinduism and Buddhism with Christianity. Cults minister in crises. The persistent visiting of Mormon and Jehovah s Witness representatives in American homes uncovers many individuals with needs that are not being met. Cults reach minority groups.
