The Cult Implants Phobias

For just a few examples, cult members fear that if they leave the cult they will:

• die painfully or violently.
• become an alcoholic or drug addict.
• go insane.
• be a failure.
• lose control completely.
• lose their dreams.
• lose all hope of a happy future.
• become unspiritual.
• lose their relationship with God.
• be defeated by Satan.
• be possessed by demons or evil spirits.
• lose their chance for immortality or salvation.
• be judged unworthy when Armageddon takes place.
• not be taken up to Heaven when the Rapture happens.
• be unloved.
• be ostracized and rejected by the group (this threat is real).
• be abandoned.
• be accused unjustly.
