| The Desire To Worship God ... JUST WATCH BEFORE YOU LEAP |
INTRODUCTION:
The Encarta dictionaries explained the word ‘indoctrination' as to teach somebody a belief, doctrine or ideology thoroughly and systematic, especially with the goal of discouraging independence thought or the acceptance of other opinions. This practice is probably one of the oldest ways of enslaving people while making them feel that they are important. Kings, Emperors, Families, Cults, Sects and Religious leaders used and are still using this impious techniques to hold people captive in their enclaves.
As a Christian, we need to equip our children and siblings with the sound doctrines of the Bible even though they may not naturally love it, but since that is the condition stipulated in God's word for salvation, they must consent; no controversies about that. This was how the early Christian homes were built and the indoctrinators of that time were not able to penetrate into them as much as they have done in the present days.
However, this book is not aimed at discussing indoctrinations from a positive point of view because the negative has appended its signature on the word ‘indoctrination' to the extent that anywhere you meet the word; you are reminded of its negative impacts on the society. All indoctrinations mentioned in this book are referring to the negative indoctrination.
Indoctrination is the result of constant brainwash and mind manipulation of a particular person or people. From my personal experience, I have come to realize that there is no force on earth that is as strong as brainwash. It's a slow process and time consuming but when it gathers momentum becomes a formidable scare on the society. The only force that can free someone under the power of brainwash is the power of God - The Holy Spirit. Brainwash in itself is to impose a set of usually political or religious beliefs on somebody through various coercive methods of indoctrination, including destruction of the victim's prior beliefs and mindsets. It is when this is done that the indoctrination of such a person or people actually begins. Many great leaders in the world became great through the indoctrination of others mostly their followers.
We can see that these two words (Brainwash and indoctrination) works hand in hand through mind manipulation to create an avenue for spiritual, mental and human enslavement. The perpetrators will have to work on the mind of their subjects through the presentation of enticing and luring offers which when constantly pressed on the people will acclimatize with unguided minds, and the result will be the empowering of the perpetrators and the impoverishing of the indoctrinated.
Most families indoctrinate their children and siblings into a kind of life that will benefit them and most of the times detriment to the indoctrinated member of the family or community. Some parents indoctrinate their children into a kind of profession and living that will be profiteering to them while harmful to their children. There are cases in Nigeria where parents indoctrinate their children into doing prostitution abroad (especially to Europe) just because their daughters will make much foreign currencies to send back home to the parents. In fact, it has become a norm in some parts of Nigeria that every parent must sponsor their children abroad for prostitution. Every young girl's dream now is how to travel to Italy, Spain, Germany, Holland and Belgium etc for prostitution.
The big girls who ride around town with posh cars are mostly successful prostitutes from Europe and every family needs wealthy girls like them. This is an indoctrination of young women who eventually ends up with deadly diseases in addition to committing a great sin against God and themselves.
This kind of indoctrination is found everywhere but from different perspectives. Many of the big Stars in the developed countries are being managed by their parents or siblings to their detriment but to the satisfaction of the guidance. The case of Michael Jackson is an example of such cases. The ‘Urban Semiotic' in their article titled ‘The veneration of Michael Jackson', stated what led to Michael's jeopardy in life - "Michael Jackson was an abused child who suffered at the hands of his domineering father who only saw instant profit in his son instead of the future promise of a child. The public record makes it clear Michael spent the rest of his adult life trying to re-live his lost childhood -- and that painful loss of innocent imagination brought him into lawyers offices and courtrooms as his inappropriate relationships with young boys was made public. Michael Jackson knew how to sing and perform -- those talents were beaten into him early -- but he never knew who he was or who he really wanted to be, and we saw evidence of that in his need to physically change his nose, his skin color and, perhaps, even his gender."
The Nazi leadership of Germany under Adolf Hitler reigned and almost conquered the world as a result of systematic brainwash and indoctrination of the Germans by their leader. He first came up with enticing polices that seemed to consider the youths and the grass root Germans to buy their support. He started by abolishing unemployment and by 1935, the countries unemployment reduced from 6million to less than 2million. With this good gesture, he was able to brainwash and indoctrinate the youths at every turn, especially in groups like ‘The Hitler's Youths' and ‘The League Of German Girls'.
The best people to target in any nation or group are their youths and the intellectuals because they are the people to project any idea planted into them to the future. Roderick Hindery in one of his discussions about indoctrination stated that, "In many areas, from politics, business, and the media to academe and religion, intellectuals often become the foremost victims of propaganda and indoctrination, because they live in realms of ideas, rather than on terrains, which are less pliant, like those of technological and financial facts. Like putty, ideas are more malleable than durable goods. Because intellectuals can expand and contract concepts at will, they erroneously conclude that they do so correctly, thereby becoming more susceptible to indoctrination than others. In youth and old age, from political and religious left or right, and from Nazi or Maoist eras to the terrorist present, intellectuals, religious ones included, are often targeted as premier candidates for indoctrination and self-deception."
George Owel in ‘The Animals Farm' satirically demonstrated the brainwash and indoctrination stratagem of his political, religious and social era. And even in our traditional African communities, we are brainwashed and indoctrinated to prostrate or kneel down to honour our traditional rulers while we can lie down or squat to worship God.
Before now, people usually thought that indoctrinations and brainwash through mind manipulations were only associated with Communism and other political games. This is not true because religion also provides a platform for Imposters and Seducers to indoctrinate and brainwash followers' through the manipulation of their minds. Dr. J. C. Philip and Dr. Saneesh Cherian in their ‘Analysis Of Mind Manipulation' confirmed that; "Most Christians have heard only about mind control methods used in Communist countries and other similar dictatorships. Thus they consider it only as a subject of political interest. The intimate connection of this subject with the spiritual life is unknown to many of them, yet Mind Control has a deep connection with spiritual life."
Why should anyone think of strapping himself or herself with bombs on a suicide mission? Is the person involved really normal? What are the reasons for this deadly assignment? This is the result of core indoctrination. It leaves the indoctrinated with no conscience and sense of reasoning. A reasonable person would have expected the indoctrinator or his or her family to lead in the suicide mission before following suit. This is how deadly and heartless the results of indoctrination can be.
In Christianity, Christ came to restore the relationship and fellowship between God and Man and in the process He paid the divine price and purchased our salvation through His death on the cross of Calvary; He died to save us from sin and its consequences. Today, the religious leaders of our time has brainwashed and indoctrinated their followers to always defend them (not the scriptures) unto death; many have died and more are still dying trying to defend their leaders instead of defending the scriptures till death.

| I know what to do ...If I tell them I'm a prophet---that'll work ??? Yep !!! THE DESIRE OF A MAN'S HEART |
Why indoctrinations: There is a song that is very popular among the Christian worshipers. The song says,
All power.....All power belongs to God
All power.....All power belongs to God
Each time l hear this song, l am plunged into a stream of endless thoughts. What comes into my mind immediately are questions like, "Are the powers of the witches and wizards from God?" Mention a witch or a wizard and people will begin to hurl stones at the target. They are evil and have no other work than to kill, steal and destroy. The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. - John 10:10.
All powers in heaven and on earth have been committed into the hands of our Lord Jesus Christ. Nobody, including me, will want to believe that the powers of the witches and wizards are in the hands of our Lord Jesus Christ. That could be tantamount to blasphemy. But one thing is undeniable: there is power associated with witchcraft and wizardry.
We learnt that Satan was one of the most powerful and respected Angels with God in heaven. His pride and arrogance led him to disobey God and he was sent down to the earth by God. In the world, Satan is using his power to cause severe harm to the human race. God is the Creator of everyone, including Satan, but He is not the Father of all. He is the Father of those who obey His words. One may ask, "Why can't God stop Satan from infecting the world with destruction since He is his Creator?"
It is not right to question God but God permits us to sincerely bare our minds to Him the way we are. He is the only one who can anoint our hearts with the solution balm. God is not a dictator. He created man with an independent spirit and gave him options of choice between Himself and Satan. We have three kinds of spirits i.e. God's Spirit or the Holy Spirit, Satan's Spirit or Evil Spirit and man's spirit which is a "free moral agent". Being a free moral agent, man has the right to choose between God and Satan. Whoever man chooses will remain his master. God did not take away the powers of Satan neither has He destroyed it. Even our Lord Jesus Christ during His earthly ministry, did not destroy Satan. He only cast them out of their victims and tell them where to go in some cases.
Mark 5: 6-13 records: When Jesus was still some distance away, the man saw Him. He ran to meet Jesus and fell down before Him. He gave a terrible scream, shrieking, why are you bothering me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? For God's sake, don't torture me! For Jesus had already said to the spirit, Come out of the man, you evil spirit. Then Jesus asked, what is your name? And the spirit replied, Legion, because there are many of us here inside this man. Then the spirits begged Him again and again not to send them to some distant place. There happened to be a large herd of pigs feeding on the hillside nearby; "send us into those pigs", the evil spirits begged. Jesus gave them permission. So the evil spirits came out of the man and entered the pigs and the entire herds of two thousand pigs plunged down the sheep hillside into the lake where they drowned.
Since Satan was sent down from heaven by God, he has been roaming about angrily like a roaring lion looking for whom to devour. The power which God had given to him is still with him but the difference here now is that he is using it against God his Creator. If your power is for God's glory, it will be attributed to God. If you also use your power to kill, steal and destroy, it will be attributed to Satan.
This is why the Bible says that by their fruits, we shall know them. It is the end result of the power game that will decide whether the power is of God or Satan. The working procedure may look alike but the finished product will decide the quality of the good.
Everything God created is a solution to a problem. The trees, seas, ground and all other things are solutions to problems. Without the seas, there will be nowhere for the fishes to live; without the ground, there will nowhere for man and other living and non living things to stay on etc. Man is the greatest product of God. No man's existence is an accident. God created every man for a purpose with a special gift planted in him. Unfortunately so many people have not discovered their gifts and don't even believe that they could get theirs anytime. Those who discover there gifts make utmost use of it mostly to enslave others. They do this by:-
Creating a mysterious demeanor
The ontology of man and his environment provides the ground for a structure of man's wickedness to man. Robert Nesta Marley, a music legend sang in one of his philosophical songs:
Man to man is so unjust
Children; we don't know whom to trust
Your worst enemy could be your best friend
And your best friend, your worst enemy
Some will eat with you, only your best friend
Knows your secret, and only him could reveal it
The heart of man is deceitful and it is only God that can unveil the mask of the heart. Who said there is justice? Who said there is equality of being in the Christendom? Who is claiming there is uprightness anywhere in the world? It's all a screwy idea and makes me muzzy because everyone you meet irrespective of his race, profession, status etc., is strident in the pursuance of comfort and excellence. Where are the Remnants which the Bible spoke about? I've been searching but yet to find one. They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak. Psalm 12:2.

| You think no one can see You!!!!! BUT GOD CAN...CAN..&..CAN!!! |
The young man or woman who is being blessed by God with the gift of identifying herbs and leaves for curative purposes will never allow people to know that it is a gift from God. They will build a shrine with molten images so that people and their preys would see them as mystics. They will give the glory of God to the images and to themselves. A young man or woman who discovers he or she has the gift of healing, prophecy or speaking in tongues etc will begin to do things to mystify himself or herself and become picky to confuse people, instead of giving God the glory. Each time l ruminate on what is happening in the house of God today, my mind goes topsy - turvy. The Lord said to me, l have been watching this people, and they are extremely stubborn. Leave me alone so l may destroy them and erase their name from under heaven -Deut: 9:13-14A.
This piece of message may sound like a screed to many, but come to think about such sayings like, "All powers belong to God". Can there be any better expression than this? This onerous statement is nothing but the truth not withstanding the angle from which you view the message.
Some people today believe in the fact that all powers belong to God when it is associated with good tidings. When their business is booming, ‘all powers belong to God' but when they are passing through a little trial, ‘such powers belong to Satan'. They are spiritually myopic to know that all things whether good or bad works together for the fulfillment of God's plan in the life of a believer. When the power is associated with bad results, they will attribute the ownership of that power to Satan, thus contradicting their first belief that ‘all powers belong to God.' When an unbeliever is passing through had times, that is part of his or her reward for using the life God has given to him or her as a gift to serve Satan; but when a believer is passing through hard times, it becomes a test or trial to strengthen his or her relationship with God and not to run helter skelter; from one cult to another seeking for solution. That is an act of underrating God who created all powers and running to Satan who just converted the power God gave to him to do evil. Now let me try an illustration:
Power: Its use and abuse
We have one body here in Nigeria that is undertaking the responsibility of generating and distributing electric power. This body was known as the National Electric Power Authority NEPA now Power Holding company of Nigeria (PHCN). It is the duty of PHCN to generate and distribute electric power to everybody in this country.
When this power gets to your consumer's meter, it is finally released to the household appliances or industrial machines depending on the purpose for which the consumer needs the power. This power that is in your house could be used to operate your cooker, pressing iron, cooking kettle etc. The same power can also be used to electrocute someone if you so desire.
This simply means that there is nothing wrong with the power generated by PHCN and distributed to your house. You have the right to use the power to achieve whatever is your aim and objective, but you must be ready to pay your bills. So, all powers belong to God. Whatever share of the gift of power that gets to you from God is at your disposal. You have the right to decide on what and how to use it. If you decide to use it for God's glory, you have a prize to win, but if you decide to use it for your own glory, you also have a price to pay.
The world is like a market; pick what you want but be ready to pay the price. For example, you may decide right now to use your gift of strength to smash your brother's head with a bottle, but you must also be ready to face the consequences of your action. You can also decide to use your gift of prophecy to dupe people but be prepared for the consequences on the Day of Judgment. That was why Apostle Paul took time to explain to the Corinthians about the need to put the gift of God in ones life into good use to please Him who gave it to him.
Now about spiritual gifts, l do not want you to ignorant. You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you were influenced and lead astray to mute idols. Therefore l tell you that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, 'Jesus be cursed' and no one can say, 'Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit. There are different kinds of gifts, but the same spirit. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men. Now, to each one the manifestation of the spirit is given for the common good. To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another interpretation of the tongues. All these are the works of one and the same Spirit, and He gives them to each one, just as He determines- 1 Cor. 12:1-11.
God's blessings and gifts are unlimited and He gives to everyone as He determines. When you receive the awareness of the gift of God in your life, you have the right as a free moral agent to use your gift to glorify God or to glorify yourself. If your gift is used to glorify God, you will be transparent and truthful just like our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ was. But if your gift is for your self glorification, then you must invent techniques to brainwash, indoctrinate and coerce people to believe you.
All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they had. With great power, the Apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus; and much grace was upon them all. There were no greedy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned lands or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it at the Apostles' feet, and it was distributed to anyone as he had need- Acts 4:32-35.
Communism in the church
Communism is defined as a political movement that believes in an economic system in which the state controls the means of producing everything on behalf of the people. It aims to create a society in which everyone is treated equally.
The Apostles of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ lived together in one accord. They sold their individual properties and brought the proceeds to the central purse of the Apostles. Everyone had equal treatment and they lived happily spreading the good news of our Lord Jesus Christ to the people.
If we take into cognizance the achievements of the Apostles, we will come to agree that their communist pattern of living was a key factor towards their success. They were sincere with each other, especially their leaders who kept custody of their revenue. It is obvious that people like Apostles Peter and John who manifested the power of God so much among the people could have taken advantage of their prominence to brainwash, indoctrinate and usurp the rights of others. But they served the people humbly and dedicated their success to the Almighty God and Jesus Christ His Son.
Today, the story is different. I feel dead beaten each time l try to consider what is happening in our religious circles. A miscellany of events in our religious world will reveal a world without conscience. The enormity of harm caused by these inhuman, selfish and wolves in sheep's skin to the religious community is unbelievable.
Who engineers suicide bombings?
It is no longer news today that infants are used by religious leaders for suicide bombings. Almost all the scary news of suicide bombings in our time is carried out by innocent youths. I call them innocent youths because they are not actually acting with their normal senses. A normal independent mind must ask questions and get very convincing reasons why it should take a particular action. Each of these religious masters have children and families who could have first carried out the suicide bombings before recruiting others, because charity begins at home.
If anyone who dies in a suicide mission becomes a martyr, then a reasonable leader would want his immediate family to be beneficiaries of the martyrdom before others. But the reverse is the case; these religious masters give their children and their immediate families the best that life can afford. This means that something is happening which these innocent ninnies cannot and will never understand.
Many have also been trapped into religious sects where they are being remote-controlled by their masters. These victims of spiritual manipulations are blindfolded to live and die for their dogmatic and profane ethics and beliefs. The world has witnessed serious religious sect calamities like the Guyana tragedy and the recent one that happened in Texas in the United States of America.
There are still thousands of religious sects and semi sects operating under cover. Most of them are under cover because of the opposition from other religious groups and the public. This will make their belief unpopular and force their leaders to succumb to the pressure; that is if the true Christian worshipers could hold the ground on which their faith stands.
Today's Christianity has also created an enabling environment for some of these spiritual leaders to perpetrate their wickedness and inhuman acts to enthrone themselves. It is common place to see most religious leaders in the Christendom being treated as gods.
Hear the word of the Lord all you people of Judah who come through these gates to worship the Lord. This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Reform your ways and your actions, and l will let you live in this place. Do not trust in deceptive words and say, 'This is the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord! If you really change your ways and your actions and deal with each other justly, if you do not oppress the alien, the fatherless or the widow and do not shed innocent blood in this place, and if you do not follow other gods to your own harm, then l will let you live in this place, in the land l gave your forefathers forever and ever. But look, you are trusting in deceptive, words that are worthless - Jeremiah 7:2-8.
In Israel they also had Rabbis who indoctrinated, brainwashed and misled the children of God into trusting in their deceptive ways. These teachers hide under known religious practices to indoctrinate the people who believed in them as ambassadors of God. Indoctrination and brainwash leads to the oppression of the believers of the indoctrinators. God warns them to change or face His wrath.
In Europe, America and the developed world, l learnt that their churches are dominated by elderly men and women. The youths and the middle - aged people see the church as a banal institution. Many of them only visit churches on ceremonial days like the Easter and Christmas. These Western youths have no reason why they should be enslaved in the name of religion. At least they have overcome the basic necessities of life like food, clothing and shelter which anyone could use to enslave them. At this level of development, even the religious leaders are very careful because there are so many checks and balances on the church by the government and the people.
The western approach to religion is the direct opposite of what is obtained in the developing Africa and other nations. Poverty has slammed an indelible mark on the religious polity of the developing world. Justice, humility, humane and all the attributes that make man an image of God grumble angrily in a hungry man's stomach. So, it becomes a trend that once a person breaks through that seal of poverty, he covers it back against those coming after him so that no one can be like him. Every other person becomes a slave to the leader.
No one is happy to be a slave but when one is left with no option, they rescind to fate and the spiritual phenomenon is added to the socio-economical burden of the common man. In the third world countries, religious cults' organizations are at a high notch over the real worshipers of God because these cults promise them pseudo health, wealth, breakthrough without working for it; even the Bible confirmed that faith without work is dead, but these imposters brainwash and indoctrinate their followers to spiritually and physically enslave them.
You get hooked easily
The popularity of religious cult's activities surpasses every other aspect of life and cuts across all ages. People are pushed to the walls by poverty and hardship and this account for the reason why religious indoctrination by religious cults is on the increase in Africa and other developing nations. In the developed nations, religious cults' indoctrination is on the lower side. I am not saying that there are no religious cult's indoctrinations in the developed nations but I am emphasizing that they are not brainwashed because of what to eat. You know food is a necessity and so stands a better chance to draw hungry people closer for indoctrination. Stanislaw Lec the Polish writer said, "I give you bitter pills in sugar coating. The pills are harmless; the poison is in the sugar." This is what religious cults are doing to their followers; they give them bitter pills in sugar coatings. When the situation of poverty persists, they are forced to take refuge under a spiritual phenomenon.
For example, if a religious cult desires to brainwash and indoctrinate Haiti (as they were hit by earthquake); this is the right time. Just load aircrafts with food and send it to Haiti, then introduce your religious cult and see what will happen. Each bag of the foodstuffs carries the inscription of the name of the religious cult so that the name will become a family name and sink into their hearts. At that point it will be very difficult to say no to the religious cult doctrines while still feeding on their food. Adolf Hitler (1889 - 1945), one of the renowned fathers of indoctrination claimed that, "The broad mass of a nation...will more easily fall victim to a big lie than to a small one."
These religious cults know the target areas to woo people into their cult. Many of the cults sponsor football teams; give scholarship to youths to further their education, take care of the less privilege and so many great philanthropic gestures etc, but not without an ulterior motive to lure the people into the cult. Roderick Hindery confirmed that even when these indoctrinators seem to deal truthfully with the people for a moment, it is for a price. He put it this way, "Exploitations of emotions are as difficult to recognize as many self- and other-deceptions. Their invisibility works with special effectiveness, whenever indoctrinators disclose the truth, sometimes even the whole truth, for worthy motives, but also to smooth their path towards manipulating and dominating the feelings of others."
Today, the grail importance of God's gifts has metamorphosed into an avenue to brainwash and enslave people by the grim griffins who at the initial point claim to be altruists. This inclement development is rampant in the Christendom today. They come like sheep but inwardly they are ravenous wolves looking for whom to devour. The most intriguing qualities of these greedy wolves are their initial fake humility. They know what the people want and will always make sure that they deliver it to them.
In their religious cults' gathering, they will choose to be called and known by the lowest titles so that new converts will think it to be genuine humility. More attention is given to the new converts and more selfless services to these people who will later become their victims. There are instances where these gullible religious cults' leaders are known widely for their philanthropic activities which surpass that of the true Christians. They pay school fees for new converts who cannot afford to pay; rent houses for the homeless; give food to the hungry and care for the confused.
What else would have impressed a people in a developing world like ours apart from things like these? They will look so simple and accessible to the members; dress in the most simple and common outfit and eat the most common food. Their cheerfulness and initial ability to carry everybody along deceitfully is exceptional.
In fact, no one will have an encounter with these set of religious cults' leaders without being naturally brainwashed to believe that they are truly Godly. These people know that there is no other way that they could contend with their critics than to brain-wash their followers. These religious leaders need the support of their followers to withstand their external foes. So all the simplicity, and humility exhibited by them are just a camouflage. It is aimed at attracting the notice and sympathy of their followers; while their followers believe in them fanatically, they are always busy putting together their hidden agenda which when it manifest fully, will create a godly position for them.
If they successfully win the heart of their followers, then the game has started. At this point, it is the followers who spread the pseudo good news of their leaders. These innocent followers will be ready to shed their blood for the sake of their leaders.
Remember, nobody will tell you in the street that Jesus Christ has paid his or her house rent. The story we hear every day is "My Pastor is a good man of God; he has paid my house rent". This is the impression that the leaders want to create and before you know it, they have become a household name. Some will tell people in the streets how their pastor healed them of a particular illness and also gave them money to take care of themselves.
A closer look at these set of pastors will reveal that they are not even comfortable at that point in time. They may not have a good residence or good clothing, may be with no car but they buy cars and give to people. These are some of the reasons why their followers are brainwashed to believe that they love the work of God more than their lives without knowing that those gifts are baits.

| Watch your steps!!!!!! You might think you're right BUT YOU CAN BE WRONG |
UNDERSTANDING THE INDUCTRINATION STRATEGIES:
The institution of monarchy - The institution of monarchy in the church in these later days goes to confirm the statement of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ in Matthew 7:15-23:
Watch out for false prophets. They come to us in sheep's clothing but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruits you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes, or figs from thistle? Likewise every good tree bears good fruits, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruits. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus by their fruits you will recognize them. Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord! Lord!' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord! Lord!' did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles? Then l will tell them plainly, I never knew you, away from me, you evildoers.
It may sound gibberish to say that all about religious cultism is a brainwash game, but whether you accept it or not, you will soon find out the truth about the game. Christianity is a way of life copied from Christ Himself. But our leaders who claim that they are Christians today are more like cultists in practice.
Christianity cannot create a monarch for anyone. So, it is only religious cults' ethics that can establish their mendacious kingdom. So many people have come up with different interpretations to the Bible geared towards their selfish ends. They make the Bible read what they want to hear and give its interpretation to suit their philosophies of life. They cannot achieve all these alone. They need people who will accept all their doctrines and swallow every word hook, line and sinker.
Among the crowd of followers are those who are deeply in love with the lifestyle of the leader. The leader gathers this set of people to form his or her disciples or whatever name he chooses to call them. The human memory as we know is short, so the leader begins his or her mesmerizing practice on the people.
Steps in indoctrination: - Different religious cults have different organized formats for brainwashing and indoctrinating their followers. The formats differ from one religious cult to another depending on the exposition of the leader or leaders to manipulation principles. The uneducated indoctrinators usually hide under spiritual phenomenon and unction to indoctrinate their followers while the educated indoctrinators combine both intellectualism and spiritualism to form a formidable pseudo halidom.
These educated indoctrinators employ the latest technology in communication and science to try to normalize indoctrination as a game for the wise. Today, every quack and local indoctrinator is striving to go modern; many employ teachers to teach them at home; project their religious cults on internet and television stations etc. The few points below are part of the strategies we used to brainwash and indoctrinate followers in a religious cult where I belonged and rose to be the second in command for over a decade before God delivered me in 2005.
(1) Inferiority mentality - The first step is to make the disciples or whatever name they are called to believe that they are physically, mentally and spiritually impotent. This is made clearer to the disciples through the comparison of the leaders' gift to the disciples' who are made to believe that they are empty. From that moment on, the file of spiritual slavery has been opened for them and they will begin to see themselves inferior to their leader.
The more the leader exhibits his or her gift, the more the disciples become decorated slaves and robots at the mercy of their leader. Gradually, the leader begins to extinguish all the gifts in the lives of the disciples. Even gifts acquired through training or education and gifts from God in the lives of the disciples are washed off or modified by the leader to serve his purpose so that he or she could assume the glory from everything in the group or sect.
Then a systematic injection of the new doctrine into the disciples kicks off with a deceptive motive. The disciples will now adopt the new doctrines into their now empty memory and begin to act on it fanatically. These disciples will in turn be used to indoctrinate a whole lot of followers to enlarge the strength of the leader's disciples. Leon Trotsky (1879 - 1940) a Russian revolutionary leader expresses the venom in assimilating of indoctrinations in his statement, "For us, the tasks of education in socialism were closely integrated with those of fighting. Ideas that enter the mind under fire remain there securely and for ever."
They have eyes but they are made to see what their leader wants them to see. They have legs and will only go where their leader wants them to go. Their mouths speak what the leader wants them to speak and they do whatever he wants them to do without thinking or questioning.
(2) Relegation of academic attainments - So many people are living in spiritual bondage. They need emancipation because every gift in them has been floored. No matter how educated they are, they are brainwashed to believe that their education has no role in anointing. This technique is mostly used by uneducated religious cult leaders. They proclaim to their followers that education is not anointing while they employ the best teachers to teach them in privacy.
They discourage their followers from acquiring academic education while they send their children and immediate family to the best schools in the world. They will indoctrinate their followers with the belief that after all, our Lord Jesus Christ did not attend any academic institution yet He became the Saviour of the world. The idea in this mechanism is to render inactive all the potentials of the followers so that the leader could establish his or her supremacy over the subjects forever.
(3) Minimal contact with the outside world - After neutralizing and modifying their victims' minds; and having set their minds towards the narcissistic mission of their leader, the next step is a policy known as "cut every branch that could give rise to a bud ". Of course, every victim that is held in a pseudo halidom had something to do with the outside world before being converted to the pseudo faith. Many had businesses or jobs which they abandoned. So many relatives and business partners or friends are out there with most of them opposing the doctrines of the religious cult or sect. Many have properties and things that could still bring them income outside.
The leaders know that once their victims are allowed contact with the outside world, they could easily be influenced and brought back to their normal human senses. So another step of brainwash begins. Such Bible quotations like, "friendship to the world is enmity to God", will be used to finally crucify the victims' desire to live a normal human life. They are brainwashed to sell out all their properties and give the proceeds to the religious cult which they usually call church.
All their relationship with the outside world must also be cut off. All their relatives are now being tagged witches and wizards and hence should have nothing to do with them until they agree to share in the same faith. Before you know it, the victims have become recluses with all their lives hanging at the mercy of their leader. To be able to maintain this slave status for the victims, their movements are restricted within the premise of the pseudo commune.
(4) Diabolical caucuses - Many of these victims spend so many years inside the enclave until they are like robots that are only manipulated by the leader. That's why Adolf Hitler (1889 - 1945) Austrian-born German political and military leader boasted about his wisdom of indoctrination when he said that, "Only constant repetition will finally succeed in imprinting an idea on the memory of the crowd." So there are those who the constant indoctrination from the leader has planted the pseudo presuppositions on which the group is established on in their hearts and these people will run with it fanatically.
Among these victims, the leader selects some sharp and very intelligent in the faith to form his diabolical caucuses. These caucuses could be as many as possible with each one handling different kinds of espionage activities for the leader. For example, some are assigned to bug every information about the victims and report directly to the leader. This is very important because some victims at one point or the other could come to their senses and begin to discuss with others about their lives and this could give rise to rebellion.
So once such people are caught, there is also another caucus assigned to discipline and re-indoctrinate the offenders. There are also other caucuses instituted to take care of cases like accidents, security matters, hit squads, cases of government interests, set up squads etc. The professional excellence in these caucuses will surely beat the imagination of the best security outfit in the world. The most intriguing aspect of the whole set up is that one may belong to a caucus for ten years without knowing that there are other caucuses with other missions and assignments in the system.
Unmonitored discussions among victims are not permitted and could be bugged and before you know it, you have been invited to a panel to explain what you were discussing. All the caucuses work towards one given goal i.e. to project and to protect the leader. You must agree with me that these classes of leaders are really evil geniuses. There are only two levels of administration in the system -
- The highest level comprising of only the leader and his or her family.
- The lowest level comprising of every other person i.e. members of the caucuses, other members and even the entire congregation.
(5) The Leader is projected as Omniscient - Everyone reports to the leader. No one else is qualified to handle an official position apart from the leader. Remember, what we are talking about bothers on religious principles. The leader claims to be God sent and thus possesses the Spirit of God. Hence, it is only the Spirit of God that knows all things and could administer all assignments in the system. But the truth is that the leader wants to control and make the victims perpetual slaves.
In most cases, these victims of spiritual manipulations are barred from reading the Bible. The reason that is usually given by the leader is that the Bible was written by men of God who were inspired by the Holy Spirit and that unless you possess the Holy Spirit, reading the Bible will make no meaning to you but instead it will attract curses to you. They will now be directed by the leader to read his life and his lessons which he had tailored to suit his purposes.
(6) Pictorial imaging - There is something very peculiar with these set of leaders. They gradually but persistently plant their images into people's hearts. They usually pick one of their pictures that contain the appeal needed to penetrate into the admirer's heart, and this particular picture will be circulated for many years until it achieves the required result of capturing the admirer's subconscious mind.
When a picture remains in the sight of people for a long time, it forms an impression in their heart and each time they dream, they will see some person in the form the person that appears in the picture. I call this, image planting. Remember the case of Laban and Jacob. (Gen. 30:37-42).
Some will go to the extent of laminating their pictures into cellophane for their followers to carry about. They make them to believe that their image that is being carried around will provide the desired spiritual security they need.
This is what this end time generation desires and you will see millions of people hanging their leaders' pictures on their necks, in their cars, houses, offices etc. And as the day passes by, you will continue to hear testimonies of how these pictures have taken the position of God.
(7) Superiority Illusion - The devil is a liar and deceiver. Look at the witches, wizards and sorcerers, the devil deceives them to believe that they are the head of their kingdom and hence are the most powerful. Every witch, wizard or sorcerer you meet claims to be the most powerful. This means that the devil has deceived each of them to believe that he or she is the most powerful. In reality, there is no way all of them can be most powerful but because the devil is a liar, he deceives them to believe that they are the most powerful. This is the reason why they don't give up until they are destroyed.
This is exactly what happens in the latter day's pseudo halidoms. The leader in order to get a stronger grip on his or her victims will indoctrinate and brainwash the victims to believe that they are the best spiritual candidates in the world. They will be made to believe that even the Pastors and the Archbishop of Canterbury cannot compete with them spiritually. Then if such great men of God cannot rival these spiritual slaves, it then follows that their leader must be a god.
(8) No access to external media - For this brainwash to yield the desired result certain things must be put in control or else it will fail. This brings us to the reason why these victims are not allowed to listen to radio, watch television or read newspapers. The idea behind this is so that the victims may not be opportune to read, hear or watch other men of God and draw comparisons. This could educate their lost memory and bring the truth to reality in their lives.
Also, they could be educated on what is going on outside the world or the media could even show or write out the criticisms against their pseudo halidom by those whom God has opened their eyes to see the truth.
(9) No savings - It is a taboo for anyone to keep a savings account in the pseudo halidom. Even having a savings in one's custody is a crime. To save in a bank is an abomination. In the first place, where will you get the money to save from? Any money given to the victims is calculated to serve a purpose after which nothing will be left, no matter how economical they may be.
The message is, "Give us this day our daily bread". So, you are taught that if you save, you are contravening God's law. No one is paid any salary and the message is that Jesus never paid any of His disciples any salary. The truth is that the leader is not doing all these things because he wants to be like Jesus or to obey God's commandments. The idea is to frustrate any of the victims who may likely opt for freedom. How? I told you earlier about, ‘cut off every branch that could give rise to a bud'. These victims have cut themselves off from the outside world and thus have no relative, no account in the bank, no business and no friends to help. While inside the pseudo halidom, there is no salary, no savings and no possessions. So if you decide to leave the commune, you will be frustrated. This is so because the leader had indoctrinated them against their relatives and the world in general.
So, the person wouldn't know where to start from as it will not be easy for the person to win his or her relationships back after so many years. Consequently, when any of the victims thinks of leaving, the fear of the unknown will paralyze all the plans of absconding.
(10) Zombies at the mercy of the Leader - The truth here is that while these victims are used by the leader to achieve greatness; the victims remain as zombies at the mercy of their chant masters. The victims remain poor, and wretched while the leaders operate fat local and foreign accounts, acquire properties both locally and international. They keep growing in arrogance day by day.
The victims become so miserable though smiles are being forced on their faces each day to avoid being spiritually, mentally and physically incarcerated. The entire congregation is not left out of the spiritual manipulation and brainwash. It is a curse and an abomination for any member of the congregation to give a gift to any of the disciples or caucus followers. Even in the congregation, people are afraid to discuss with each other in order not to attract the leader's wrath and curses upon themselves and their families.
The general practice is that any gift you want to give to any disciple must pass through the leader. He will then pass the gift to the disciple if he deems it fit and if not, he will confiscate it. It is also the practice that whatever interaction between members must be known to the leader. The leaders are never tired of listening to complaints and in fact that is what they love most.
(11) Followers are informants - These sets of leaders are so scared that they confine themselves to certain areas where their security network covers them efficiently. But even though they live the life of a recluse, they are so current with what is happening in the outside world. Every member of the congregation is brainwashed to be an informant to the leader. The members of the congregation are everywhere in the town and they are tutored to report everything they see in the town to the leader before taking any action, or commenting on the issue.
For example, if a member witnesses an accident scene somewhere in the town, he or she must call the leader to inform him or her about the incident. These innocent members are made to believe that when they inform their leader about what they see, the leader will release the grace of protection to them. The truth is that they are being used as informants to the leader to guide him in his pseudo "prophetic" assignments.
(12) The Leader owns all - I told you earlier in this book that it is a taboo for the victims to watch television, listen to radio or read newspapers, but the leaders monitors all stations in the world right in their offices. These set of leaders are so narcissistic that everything in the pseudo halidom rotates around them.
Nothing bears any other person's name or approval except the leaders' own. They are more conscious about building their image than the image of Christ. They want people to believe that they are superhuman. That is the reason you see every work that comes out of the collective efforts of the followers being accredited to the leader. Most of the works, the leaders never knew how it came about but takes the credit because those who brought the ideas are made to believe that they are spiritually and mentally impotent. So, whatever they do is believed to have been revealed to them through the spirit in the leader. The leader does nothing wrong. They are supposed to be perfect beings. That is why when some natural things happen; they would not have any valid reason to give people why such things should happen.
(13) No medication - Most of the religious cults brainwashes their followers against medication to show how potent their faith could be. These set of leaders indoctrinate their followers not to take medical treatment or medications. They frown at the administration of herbs and orthodox medicine. The truth is that the leaders also have a caucus whose duty is to secretly provide medication of either herbal or orthodox to them when they are sick.
Many members of these congregations have lost their lives or the lives of their loved ones in an attempt to uphold the faith of not taking medications. They are made to believe that their leaders do not take medications that they live by grace through faith.
(14) No marital relationships - The issue of marriage is the most critical issue in any pseudo halidom. If a man joins the caucus of any of these congregations, he has lost his marital relationship unless his wife will be willing to join him as a caucus follower.
The message that rules this relationship is that you should marry as if you are not married. While both of you live at the mercy of the leader, you must not be seen together discussing or doing anything together. You must see your wife as someone else and your wife sees you in the same light and if possible, both of you should be at the neck of each other so that the leader will settle the matter. It is only when such cases exist between a couple that the leader will be comfortable.
The religious cults' leaders are always very careful over couples because they could plan and abscond. This is why most of these leaders prefer singles or they will do everything to get you divorced from your husband or wife. You cannot have sex with your wife unless the leader permits you. In fact, it is the leader that will tell you when to have sex with your wife. Sometimes it may be twice or thrice in a year that you will be permitted to have sex with your spouse. It constitutes an abomination if you have sex without the knowledge of the leader.
Both the husband and the wife are totally responsible to the leader. Each of them pays absolute allegiance to the leader. In most cases, the leader uses the wives to bug their husbands and husbands to bug their wives. A wife could be given a GSM handset to use in recording her husband's comments on some topics which she will return to the leader. So also, a husband could be used on the wife in same way. All that the religious cults' leaders are after is that their victims must not be freed.
In a situation where the woman refuses to join the caucus of the pseudo halidom, her husband will be mandated to divorce her immediately and the message is that a husband must share the same faith with his wife. You can imagine how many relationships these animals in human skin have put asunder without any introspection.
Now let us talk about the unmarried people. The best candidates for spiritual manipulation and brainwash are the youthful singles. These adventurous youths are ready to do anything to protect their faith as long as they are thoroughly grounded in the assignment they are to carry out. The longer they stay single, the better for the leaders. Marriage is usually one of the key factors that causes and leads to the freedom of many of the singles in the pseudo halidom. Money is also one of the key factors but not as strong as marriage because everyone is sensitized on the danger of the love for money. But marriage is a factor that is seldom discussed in the system. We know that love could break barriers. When accidentally any of the singles fall in love, it becomes an impossible task to make it open because of the catastrophe it would create and that could lead him or her into spiritual, mental and or physical incarceration. The next and best option will be for them to defect. This is so because no single gets married in the system unless designed by the leader for a purpose.
The leader is seen as a god. So he picks a wife for anyone if he so desires. No youth under this system has the right to choose a wife or a husband. In the case where anyone chooses a wife or a husband and brings him or her to show the leader, it means a challenge to the leader and he would do everything to make sure that no one can set that precedent.
The leaders would go to any extent even if it will mean to eliminate the culprits, it wouldn't mean anything to them as long as they will not succeed to lay a precedent for the other victims to follow. The leader will be ready to fight to a stand-still whatever will guarantee freedom to his slaves. These are some of the reasons why everyone is set to monitor everyone in the system. You can hardly see two disciples or whatever name they are called discussing for up to five minutes without facing a panel to explain what they were discussing.
There is no privacy in the pseudo halidoms. It is only the leader that is entitled to privacy. All the victims are made to live in one hall. There are cases where more than two hundred men are living in one hall and the same number of women in another hall. They are packed like sardines in double bunk beds or on mats so that no one could have privacy even in the night. Everyone is detailed to monitor each other.
The young single ladies, many of whom are usually admitted into the pseudo halidom at a very tender age are made to trust the leader, most of whom are male, more than even God. When any of them gets to the age of menstruation, it is the male leader that should know. It is a routine that all the single ladies must report to the leader each time they are menstruating. And the more years they spend without marriage, the better for the leader. Most of the religious cults' leaders make love to the ladies and women in their group indiscriminately. They brainwash the ladies and woman to believe that making sex with the Leader is a key to salvation and is a privilege to any lady or woman who the leader chooses, so they (the ladies and women) scramble for it.
(15) Defecting is dangerous - The leader frames up some ugly stories about those who defected and relays it to the inmates to create fear in their heart. If some terrible stories are not used to brainwash those inside, some of the victims may want to defect. A caucus is also set up by the leader to monitor any of the victims that defects to anywhere he or she may run to in the town; and if the person is prospering, he could use his hit men to intimidate or even eliminate the run- away victim.
But if the person is suffering and walking about the streets, the leader could send another caucus with some secret camera to record the person. The recorded video will now be played to the other victims to instill more fear into them. He will threaten them by telling them that their lives will be like the ones who defected if they also defect.
This is the reason why if anyone commits an offence, the leader will threaten to send them away and the offender will beg and beg for so many weeks or months before he or she can receive pardon. They beg because they don't want to suffer like the ones who have defected. The real reason for all these threats on those who defect is that the leader is scared that the defecting ones can expose the atrocities and ungodly activities that are being carried out by the leader in the pseudo halidom.
This set of leaders pretend not to be money conscious but they monitor every expenditure or income to the smallest unit. Every atom of expenses made must be approved by the leader. They cannot take up any expenditure that will not profit them or be useful to their mission of self aggrandizement. That is why we must be very careful in accepting their philanthropic gestures; it has a price tag.
(16) Greek gifts - In most cases, you hear that this kind of leaders lavish a lot of gifts on people. Their gift to the people follows a demonic principle of give and take. You will wonder about what they take back in return. The recipients of the gifts are brainwashed to give schemed testimonies to the honour of the leader.
These testimonies will be recorded on both audio and visual materials as a proof of the good work of the leader. The records will be aired later to trap more people into their diabolic nets and the schemed records are also kept to confuse those who will see it to believe that the intentions of the leader was godly.
(17) Mental manipulation - One of the demonic spirits used in the pseudo halidoms to manipulate victims is the spirit of oppression. The leader is possessed with this spirit to oppress the victims and put fear in their hearts. When the leader is happy, all the victims, like zombies, will be happy. You can even notice by the way they laugh that they are suffering but smiling. When the leader is sad, you will immediately see it on the faces of the victims that something has gone wrong within. The way they frown and react will tell everybody around that these people, though sad, are forced to take a laughing posture. It gives the leader great pleasure that the lives of many people are depending on him so he makes them happy when he likes and sad as he desires.
Another grievous sin l have seen in the pseudo halidoms is that the victims are brainwashed to disown their biological parents and adopt the leader as their father. This means that they will change their surnames to the name of the leader, thus denying their rightful parents. This too makes the leaders so proud and arrogant. These victims are made to revere the leader as a god. Immediately the leader appears, you will know that someone who is deemed to be greater than all is around.
Peter never changed his name to Simon Jesus neither did John become John Jesus. They still answered their parents' names. If there was any change of name for any disciple of our Lord Jesus Christ, it was a nickname with a divine significance. Jesus Christ never came to enslave people but He came to give people freedom. But today, many of the leaders of religious bodies have turned to spiritual slave masters. They enslave people and build empires for themselves in the name of God.
As part of the demonic manipulations to oppress the victims and put more fear into them, the leader will sometimes accuse some of them innocently and put them at a position where they will keep on striving to prove their innocence. For example, the leader could accuse his cooks of planning to poison him. Each of the cooks knows that he or she is innocent but cannot vouch for the others, so each one will begin to monitor the other.
Every victim believes that whatever the leader says is right and accurate so they will believe that one person among them must have been planning to poison the leader. It is only the leader and those whom God has opened their eyes that will understand that it is all a game to keep each of the cooks on the neck of the other so that they cannot come together and revolt.
The truth is that the leader, though he claims to be superhuman, knows that he is only brainwashing his victims. The cooks could decide to poison the leader in order to test his super-humanity. So, to avoid a situation like that, he will accuse the innocent cooks from time to time to make them feel that he is omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient.
The leader shouts at the victims from time to time to let them know that they know nothing even though what they are doing may be right. Sometimes the leader will go to the extent of breaking valuables like glasses; television sets etc; to show how angry he is to the victims and this will create more fear in the victims. But the truth is that those valuables mean nothing to him in comparison to the loyalty from the victims.
(18) Humiliation and camouflaged humility - In the pseudo halidoms, the victims are subjected to so much inhuman and barbaric treatments like beating, whipping them with cow skins and canes etc. No matter your age, educational background or status, you are made to believe that you are nothing and you are empty and must be flogged and humiliated as a child who knows nothing.
The leader finds it difficult to make friends outside his religious cult because no one who is not brainwashed will accept to be dehumanized by his friend. Since he cannot get such relaxation and honor from friends outside, he sticks to his slaves; making them laugh when he wants and sad as he wishes to please himself.
(19) The hit squad - In the pseudo halidoms, there are also another very active unit which the leaders use to perpetrate their evil. This unit is made up of frustrated retired military persons and some group of miscreants and area boys. The unit is usually assigned the jobs of security and vigilante activities, but the real activities of these people go far beyond security and vigilante jobs.
They are often used as the leader's hit men. Their assignment includes intimidating, threatening and if necessary eliminating anyone who is not in the leader's good book. It may sound unbelievable to note that there is no crime committed in the secular world that is not being committed even at a higher frequency in the pseudo halidoms.
These leaders are so clever in executing their diabolical plans that not even Solomon in his wisdom could hold them guilty. For example, when someone offends the leader, he invites his hit squad, and casually lays the complain before them. After laying the complain, he will also add that he hands everything over to God.
There is something to note here. Why should the leader lay such complain before blood thirsty miscreants? There are other groups and caucuses in the church whom he could complain to but it is the hit squad because he knows what they can do. At the end of the meeting the leader will give out some money to these men who will go out and execute the revenge on behalf of their leader.
These miscreants depend on the leader for their daily bread. The leader makes sure he does not give them anything, whether money or material, that could make them live independently from him. So he gives them little money that will last them for a little moment. The more risky assignment you carry out for the leader, the more money and the more closer you are to the leader.
The leader knows that once any of the miscreants has enough, it could lead him to an independent life, his conscience may come back and he may realize that he is being used. For example, if a leader gives such people money that could offer them a good accommodation, car and a fat bank account, it will be difficult for such a person to pay total obeisance to the leader. You can't expect him to come down from his car and prostrate to greet the leader. But as they are perpetually at a mediocre level, they all try to impress the leader so as to get their daily bread.
These sets of people are ready to sacrifice their lives for their leader. Because of their experiences in the forces where they served and their criminal experiences, they know how to cover any crime they execute on behalf of their leader. The leader is so clever that even when there is trouble you cannot implicate him because there was no statement from him asking anybody to execute any crime on his behalf.
(20) The publicity squad - There is another game of crime that operates in the pseudo halidoms. The leader has another caucus that comprises of journalists and investigators. The idea behind this is to brainwash the public providing them with mock news to ridicule the real news when it comes.
This is how it goes: if any of the crimes of the leader has been exposed, he immediately breaks the news as a false story to the caucus of journalists but now will intimate them on how to go about the publication. The leader knows that if the story is refuted directly, the public will know that he masterminded the news, so, what he does is to let the journalists go ahead and publish the true story with skeptical comments.
They will make sure that this story is published in as many newspapers as possible and as many times as possible so that the news could get to the grassroots. The idea of this mass publicity is to make nonsense of the news when it will come from the right source. So by the time the story will come out from the right source the public must have been fed with that news and will simply throw it aside as one of the lies of the newspapers.
This means that many of the nasty news items that you read everyday about religious cult's are being orchestrated by the same people who the story seems to be against. This same caucus of journalists and investigators are also used to bug and monitor the true churches and other religious bodies. The leader sends them into other churches equipping them with the latest communication equipment.
They will diffuse into those churches' systems and join the churches' organizations until they get close to the church's leader. This is how the leaders of the pseudo halidoms get information about all other religious and even non religious groups. They know everything about everybody that matters in the society. They don't go out but they know everything happening in the world.

Miscellaneous manipulations All these manipulations and horrible inhuman treatments given to the victims by the leader are behind the curtains. All the members of the group or congregation see a saint in their leader because of the camouflaged humility and simplicity which is being targeted to deceive the people. The leader of the halidom is usually accorded more honour and respect than our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
In most cases, the victims are indoctrinated to believe that Jesus Christ came as a story in the Bible which they never witnessed but that their leader is the one they know as their saviour. So many mysteries will be built around the leader thus making him superhuman. The leader is so wicked that he only thinks about himself and his name. Every other person can go to hell.
For example, the leader can purposely bring out some inhuman and indecent policies that he knows will be kicked against, by the whole congregation. He will impose the execution of the policy on his disciple or victims. The congregation will now see the disciples or victims as wicked people and the same leader will come out openly before the congregation to blame the disciples for enforcing such wicked policies. Though every disciple or victim knows that the instruction came from the same leader, no one dares to say a word.
The purpose for this demonic formula is to make the congregation see the disciples or victims as wicked people while the leader is praised for loving the congregation. Through this system, the leader will gradually capture the heart of his congregation at the detriment of his disciple or victims. In most cases the leader will give his disciples or victims some assignments to do. If that assignment did not come out favorably the same leader will deny giving the disciple or victim such assignment.
In other cases, the disciples or victims may take up assignments by positive intuition to bring out a favorable result. Such cases, the leader will claim being the one who instituted the assignment. All positive result oriented assignments must belong to the leader, whether he inspired them or not. He is seen as a saint, so everything about him must be positive. And all negative oriented assignments and accompanying accusations must be leveled against the disciples or victims.
Who are the religious cults? - The differences between a recognized religion and a cult can be very subtle. They are religious groups that deviate from the fundamental teachings of the Bible and the Christian faith. Generally, if a religious organization claims to follow Jesus Christ, but denies or distorts essential Christian doctrines such as the Trinity, the resurrection, salvation by grace alone, the scripture as the only source of God's word and receiving of the gift of God by faith alone; that organization is considered a religious cult.
Religious cults add their own rules, rituals and ceremonies -- their own works of righteousness to the finished work of Jesus on the cross. These organizations officially state that Jesus' sacrifice is sufficient for salvation, but then they go on to say that their version of ‘works' must be added to the simplicity of His grace in order to warrant true salvation. They claim that Christ promised Christians greater work than He did, so go all the way to do whatever they feel including unbiblical doctrines to achieve ‘greater works' which they claim was the promise of Christ. These include heretic practices of witchcraft in the church in the name of miracles, prophecies, visions, dreams and so on.
Who are these religious cults' leaders? - Apparently, they are human beings like you and I who have decided to subvert the true interpretation of the Bible and replaced it with personal doctrines and rituals. Although they claim to serve Jesus Christ, and may use Christian terminologies, their doctrines are dangerously different and have misled multitudes. Through indoctrination, they have raised a great multitude of followers who are oblivious of what they are doing and could even fight to protect their profane ideologies.
Religious cult leaders are often very charismatic and considered to be unique in some way. Often times, the leader claims to be a god, angel, or a messenger for God assigned for a specific mission. He or she is held in high reproach and gradually becomes the center of worship. It is often very dangerous to contradict or criticize the cult leader. Members who do so are often excommunicated or severely punished. Ultimately, the leader gets his way, no matter who he tramples in the process, including government authorities, etc. They are often preoccupied with making money and bringing in new members. Once members are added, the leader will dictate how they should think and act. Day-to-day decisions are often brought to the leader for approval. (www.allaboutcult.org).
The attributes of religious cults' leaders are: - (1) The congregation is usually built around a human leader who holds all powers within the group. They can do and undo anything within their pseudo halidom without any questioning from anybody.
(2) They recruit members through coercive methods like sweet tonguing and mind control devices of brainwashing and sleep deprivation. (3) They rule through lies and deceptions usually as a way of enforcing their dictates and covering up of their atrocities. (4) They sponsor secret hit squads to threaten or even eliminate their enemies. Sometimes, they draw their operatives from the regular forces of the country where they are located. Their uppermost assignment is usually to lure and seduce government and military officials to their support so that they could be handy in the day of trouble to save them. (5) They always have a hidden agenda. All members are like zombies doing what they are asked to do without actually knowing the dept of the objectives of the leader. Every other subordinate leader knows what the overseer or the overall leader wants them to know. There is always a part of the secrets of the group left with the overall leader which no other person knows. (6) They claim to be infallible. This is one of the mystics they impose on their victims and it is believed that they are God incarnate among their group and sometimes to the larger world.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, it is important that you examine yourself and X-ray your doctrines in the light of God's word before you'll discover too late you're in a religious cult. Propaganda and self delusion is one of the most deadly problems one can face unknowingly regardless of whom you are. So, the best defense against religious indoctrination and self deception entail an aggressive quest and the constant examination of the Bible as your only source of information for salvation.
One of the tricks of these religious cults is to deceive and coerce their members into reading other books written by them and using it as a reference to the word of God. You also need to be careful of most of the claimed versions of the Bible you read because most of these religious cults have printed altered versions to propagate their personal philosophies.
Examine the kind of religious program you attend. Not all invitations to any church program must be attended because most of those crusades are avenues to lure people into religious cults and sects called churches. In those programs, the true scriptures are replaced with comedy, circus displays, music panorama, drama and all kinds of seductive techniques geared towards capturing and controlling your mind but lacking the true word of God.
Christians all over the world should be steadfast in the service of the true God of the Bible because the rate at which religious cults are expanding with their indoctrinations is alarming and calls for attention. So many lives has been lost and so many destinies quashed by these religious cults' leaders who have infested almost every available space on earth.
They are in control of so much wealth that they can seduce any feeble minded Christian; they have contacts to top government functionaries and could suppress you at any point; their teaming congregation could tempt you to believe they are true Christians and their philanthropy and good gestures has bought them the support of many but yet if you examine their ways, you will understand that they lack the truth. Be watchful, prayerful and always remember to study the scriptures to update so that you won't be infected by the indoctrination virus; it's everywhere, all over, in the air and next door to yours.
