There is an evil force in society - the cult, which will take advantage of the immature thoughts of children and teenagers and easily be deceived, and extend their evil claws to them. Once a child is beguiled by a cult, he or she may have the following behaviors in thoughts, words and deeds. Parents and friends should be more vigilant, pay attention to distinguish, and detect them in time to protect them from being poisoned by the cult.

Internet pictures, pictures and texts have nothing to do with

Mysterious and mysterious, like to talk about all kinds of strange stories

Children and teenagers are full of curiosity about the world, always like to explore when facing the unknown, and like to show off their uniqueness, so that period will always be regarded as "foreign" "Star People", "Unsolved Mysteries of the World", magical and magical stories, etc. The cult will take advantage of children's curiosity and make up all kinds of miracles or magical stories to attract them. "Extra-galactic" (awakening system) cults such as "Heaven's Gate", "Sun Temple", "Raelian Cult" and "Galactic Federation" were introduced to China and localized under the banner of science, aliens and religion. He deceives, deifies the leader, promotes various superstitions and heresies, and uses hypnosis to "recall past lives", spiritual healing, yoga and other methods to deceive many curious students into joining. They usually talk about UFOs, aliens, interstellar links, cosmic humans, light engineering and other strange theories, and talk about miracles such as "blind and lame people go to see him (the leader of the cult) and they can see and walk if they touch it" , or some miraculous stories of spiritual healing of physical and mental diseases . When encountering these situations, parents should be more vigilant to prevent their children from falling into the trap of a cult.

Self-reliance on "exam secrets" or "study is useless"

Nowadays, students are under a lot of pressure to study, especially students who are facing further studies. They need to work hard, but they may not have the confidence to win. The cult will take advantage of this and create a lot of articles, fabricating "secrets for high scores" and even "miracles for college entrance examinations" in various exams, advocating that "students can become self-taught without learning after they believe in religion." For example, the cult "Falun Gong" fabricated many false stories about illiterate people who embraced the religion and were able to read and write without a teacher, or who believed in the leader Li Hongzhi and then opened up "wisdom" in order to attract students who lacked self-confidence in learning and urgently needed to make progress. join in. Students who misbelief usually show blind confidence in the exam, thinking that as long as they have the blessing of the leader, they can achieve good results without studying hard, thinking that it will be the "secret" and "magic weapon" for them to create miracles.

And some cults will instill knowledge that only increases harmful acquired concepts that restrict human beings from believing in God. Reading will hinder human beings from transcending themselves. For example, the cult "Almighty God" slanders that "knowledge and science are not the truth, but are weapons used by Satan and the devil to corrupt people. The pursuit of knowledge and science is the path to destruction." "It is meaningful" and "Doing your duty for God (working for a cult organization) without studying is a special testimony to be praised by "God". Students who mistakenly believe it will gradually think that reading is useless and show disdain or boredom towards learning. , and gradually became disgusted with schooling and even dropped out of school. Wang Mei from Gaozhou, Guangdong, was originally an obedient, sensible, and filial child with good academic performance. However, she accidentally joined the "Almighty God" organization when she was about to take the college entrance examination in her senior year of high school. Under the influence of the fallacies and heresies about Almighty God, he has no interest in going to college. When the college entrance examination is approaching, he is still copying "evangelism" materials for "Almighty God". Even if he is admitted to college, he will not register for a primary school in Shaanxi. There were originally more than 200 students. Due to the incitement of the cult, about two-thirds of the students dropped out of school and went home to follow their families to participate in cult activities. The harm is so serious that it has to be alarming.

Facing setbacks in life with "fatalism"

In order to control believers, cults will promote the idea that "people's destiny is in the hands of God". Everything is arranged and manipulated by the leader. If you want to change the predicament, you must follow the leader's requirements. Do. For example, Lu Junhong, the leader of the "Spiritual Method", advocates that he is omnipotent. If you want to change your destiny, you must believe in the "Spiritual Method" and do what he says. Another example is the cult "Almighty God" who talks nonsense about "your temperament, quality, appearance, stature, family of birth, your job, marriage, everything about you, even the color of your hair, your skin color, and the time of your birth." It’s all arranged by my hands. Even what you do every day and the people you meet are also arranged by my hands.” Only by believing in coercion and inducement can you have a good future.

Children and teenagers have little experience and immature thinking and thinking. Their ability to withstand setbacks varies, and their "three views" have not yet been finalized. Some students are easily stuck when they encounter setbacks in study and life that cannot be solved for the time being. Can't get out. If you are confused by the heresies and heresies of a cult at this time, it will have a comforting and anesthetic effect on the young mind. If you think that the cult can solve your doubts and confusions, you will easily fall into it. When children encounter difficulties and setbacks but reveal views such as "everything is destined", "retribution from past lives", "only by believing in God (or a certain master) can you change your destiny", parents should be vigilant.

Fear of "the end of the world" and be in constant panic

Cults usually use the "end of the world" to create panic in order to deceive people into joining the religion. For example, the cult "Almighty God" is accustomed to using people's fear of plagues, earthquakes, tsunamis, famines, wars, etc. to control believers, claiming every year that a world catastrophe is imminent; the cult "Falun Gong" will also advocate that the universe explodes, and it has already exploded. Only the superficial layer is left; the "Lingling Sect" and "Be Li Wang" preach that "the end of the world is coming, and only by giving more can we gain peace, gain more grace from God's family, and be saved" and so on. These are common tactics used by cults, and their real purpose is to intimidate and control believers and defraud people of money. For example, since the COVID-19 epidemic, these cults have spread the word that God is punishing people who do not believe in God, and have prescribed so-called "prescriptions" such as "praying to cure diseases" and "reciting the nine-character mantra to prevent new coronavirus ". Therefore, some children will become very sensitive to disasters after believing it. From time to time, they will say that "the end of the world" is coming, and they will often be in panic. Parents should pay attention to identification.

has secretive activities and abnormal behavior

Once he joins a cult, he will often participate in some unknown gatherings and activities. For example, "Falungong" uses the guise of practicing qigong and spiritual cultivation; cults such as "Blood Water Holy Spirit" often run their own unknown activities under the guise of holding summer camps and training classes; "The Religious Cult" uses students' holidays to work part-time, They use the guise of recruiting models and beauty pageants to attract people, targeting young and beautiful female college students to defraud money and sex; the "Xintiandi Sect" lures students in the name of "intimate sister" and special "psychological counseling". Their organization is often secretive, and believers are warned not to tell their families what activities they participate in. The activities are extremely secretive. Cults such as the "Almighty God", "Disciples", "King of the King", "The Lord's Cult", etc. all require believers to give "spiritual names", use "code words", not use real names, go out without mobile phones, do things secretly, and tell lies. Beautify it into wisdom. Some cult organizations’ teaching behaviors are inexplicable. For example, when the cult "Shouters" gathers, believers will yell, and when "Lingling Cult" gathers, believers will "sing spiritual songs" and "dance spiritual dances", etc. The scene was very chaotic.

The circle of communication gradually narrows, and family ties tend to become indifferent

In order to completely control the believers, the cult organization will separate those who believe from those who do not believe. Those who believe are "fellow practitioners" and "brothers and sisters", while those who do not believe are "morally corrupt" "Ordinary people", "devils" and "Satan", so once they fall into the trap of a cult, they are unwilling to deal with outsiders and only want to regard the people inside the cult as their relatives. For example, the "Religious Cult" states that family and friends are all fetters in the world, and only by getting rid of these can one embark on the "right path."The cult "Falungong" regards getting rid of family ties as "passing the test" and requires getting rid of affection. Believers of "Almighty God" will also claim that they were created by "God" and were only born through the bodies of their parents. Therefore, their parents are not their biological children, and all relatives who resist belief in God are Satan and demons, etc.

Once a child believes in a cult, he will no longer interact with his original friends. He will only stay in his room and read some mysterious pamphlets or do strange rituals. He will become more and more closed-minded; his attitude towards his parents and relatives will also gradually change. When changes occur, relationships will become dull, opinions will clash more and more, conflicts will increase and intensify, and you may even run away from home. Among them, Xu Xiaona, a female college student of Shenzhen University , believed in "Almighty God." His parents "preached the gospel", but because of their opposition, he ran away from home and has not returned yet.

Therefore, as a parent of a child, you must pay more attention to the changes in your child's growth. Once you find something suspicious, you must contact the school or seek professional help in time. The sooner it is discovered, the sooner you can stay away from harm. Otherwise, you really can’t afford to be hurt!
