Message to Miscavige: Cults are evil not the critics.
A cult is a group of people
living at any age in human history and claiming a monopoly on spiritual truth.
Cults generally do not have official
blessing from the powers-that-be. The Christians were regarded as a cult by
early Romans who fed followers to the lions.
The Catholic Church grew out
of the Christian cult and called the early Baptists a cult that denied
authority except through the Bible.
The leader claims to hold all truths of the universe and dispenses
awareness to faithful followers. Even the Pope has limitations on the extent of
his infallibility.
He is not an expert on the
breeding cycle of the Yellow Fin Tuna to name one of a world of secrets that he
knows nothing about.
The cult leader claims to be
the messiah of the creator of the universe and is the final authority on
dispensing justice to followers. He claims to be in contact with his imaginary
creator.
He will claim that men and
women are married only with his authority and blessing. This can be withdrawn
from followers who question and criticize.
All children of cult marriages belong to him. He declares the right to
sexual intercourse with all cult women and girls. Small girls are ready for sex
as they are reincarnated adults from past times.
He claims eternal life for
himself which can only fail to materialize when he dies. His successors claim
that he has risen bodily to the galaxies and is in daily contact with his
successor.
There may be a Stalinist
violence and corruption as senior members battle for the top job. The Catholic
cardinals meet to pray and vote for God’s will on the next Pope. But that is
not the way of cults.
Cults have large bank
accounts paid by foolish faithful followers. Money is not used for social
welfare in the cult but to provide riches for the corrupt few at the top.
In the Scientology cult, the
workers in the Sea Organization are paid $50 a fortnight for 60 hours work
according to the advice on the TV expose.
The senior management undoubtedly pay themselves thousands of dollars
in fortnightly pay. Liaising with the imaginary creator is heavy work.
The Mormons and
Scientologists are regarded as cults in modern world affairs.
The Christian world tends to
judge by the faith adherence to the 10 Commandments with scorn for reports of
an inter-galactic chieftain who drops drugged and frozen people down volcanoes.
Cults generally have a
secular message for followers to accept with no requirement for the messiah and
sub-messiahs at the top to follow. Paedophilia is a privilege for the
privileged few.
