"According to Zablocki, cults are at high risk of becoming abusive to members, in part because members' adulation of charismatic leaders contributes to their becoming corrupted by the power they seek and are accorded. Zablocki defines a cult here as an ideological organisation held together by charismatic relationships and demanding total commitment. " This warning comes from ISKCON's website. I have to admit that I like ISKCON a hundred times better than Maharaji and SSB because it is inlinced to do some self-criticim. I am aware of IKCON's problems though. http://www.iskcon.com/icj/7_2/72langone.html Related link: ISKCON website about cults Modified by Andries at Mon, Mar 14, 2005, 17:58:52
