TOP 5 CULT WARNING SIGNS

1. Extreme obsessiveness of leader
2. Blurred lines between religion & group governance
3. Leader is always right… everything else is "fake"
4. Lack of transparency (especially re: financial docs)
5. Unreasonable fear of the outside world & "outsiders"

When cult leaders are being investigated by the feds for criminal wrongdoing, they often attempt to delegitimize the credibility of law enforcement in the eyes of their followers.

@CDaWookie Also, this is a non-partisan research group, but if you feel like our posts are targetting you, then it's a pretty good sign that you're in a group which exhibits cult-like behavior.

[Cult Research Institute @Cult_Watch]

@CDaWookie It's easier to con someone than for someone to admit that they were conned. The same applies with cult-like behavior.

[Cult Research Institute @Cult_Watch]

Are you a member of a group whose leader insists that he's the only real source of truth and that independent studies/news reports critical of the leader/group are fake? You may be in a cult!

[Cult Research Institute @Cult_Watch]

An easy, foolproof way to determine if your group is a cult is if you'd still support your group's leader after they shot an innocent person in the middle of the street (who isn't a member of your group).

[Cult Research Institute @Cult_Watch]

@OnEdgeNva Yes, Scientology is most definitely a cult.

@GTURN66 @0twitted1 @FoxNews @TuckerCarlson It's harder to admit you've been duped that to dupe someone. Cult-like behavior is becoming increasingly pervasive in America.

[Cult Research Institute @Cult_Watch]

We are a research institute and have been studying cult-like behavior for nearly 2 decades and have an entire team of mental health experts and clinical psychologists dedicated to the cause. https://t.co/hGNkZ76enB

@Cult_Watch @FoxNews @TuckerCarlson I suggest you digest your own research then.

@PutinsMyPapi We're a non-partisan research institute, and there are certainly cult members from all sides of the political spectrum, from the far-right, far-left, and everything in between.

One thing they all have in common, however, are the traits listed.

[Cult Research Institute @Cult_Watch]

@0twitted1 @FoxNews @TuckerCarlson Fear of news outlets and independent studies which may contradict your own views is one of the top 5 signs of cult members.

@FoxNews @TuckerCarlson Do you have an irrational fear of people from different countries? You may be in a cult! Contact us for free support from our mental health experts :)

A common symptom of cult members is an unreasonable fear of "outsiders"… frequently, cult leaders will spread propaganda which only paints outsiders in a negative light and ignores all the good in an effort to dehumanize them.

Religion and nationality are frequent cult targets.

@VeraEffi Hi - the signs listed aren't aimed at any specific political movement… we're a non-partisan organization, and if you feel like these describe you, you are likely a member of a cult you may not even be aware of.

[Cult Research Institute @Cult_Watch]

@WheyCooler If you ignore those who try to help you, you won't be able to leave your cult. Please know that we're always here for you if you decide to change your mind!

[Cult Research Institute @Cult_Watch]

@WheyCooler Hi Whey - you appear to be getting agitated, and I'd like you to know we're here to help. Denial is part of the grieving process, and we have experts on staff 24/7 available for support!

@lola_verita @FoxNews @christocarbone If you know anyone in a cult, please reach out to us so that we can ensure they receive proper treatment! The Democratic Party does not fit the Cult Research Institute's standard as a cult.

@EvaChanda @DutchWondering We are currently working with over 500 patients nationwide… although we can't disclose numbers within particular political parties due to HIPAA regulations, we can say that over half of our current patients believe in radicalized right-wing ideology.
