Is it a cult? Any one of these indicators should raise eyebrows.

Great article about the Vic Inquiry into cults came out today. I was not involved in the writing of this article, so from a personal perspective, seeing “the Kidney Cult” come up as one of Victoria’s most wacky and ominous groups is quite validating.

Sunday school teacher jailed for sexually abusing nine children was protected by church leader, Victorian cult inquiry hears — Guardian Australia Former Geelong Revival Centre members tell inquiry abuse went unreported because group believed its authority was ‘higher than the law of the land’

Hopefully the days of cults being a law unto themselves are numbered. To achieve this, we need more than a “band-aide on an amputee” - well said Ryan! apple.news/AufgG6NR8S1S...

‘Jesus of Siberia’ Cult Leader Sentenced to 12 Years in Prison - The Moscow Times A court in Novosibirsk on Monday sentenced a Siberian cult leader who claimed to be the reincarnation of Jesus Christ to 12 years in prison for harming the mental and physical health of his followers.

Great thing about this example is that the psychological harm, and coerced labour and financial exploitation have been called out 😃

The new move to expose the insidious tactics of Australia's cults Deception, psychological manipulation and 'love-bombing' are just some of the tactics of cults and fringe groups operating in Australia that an inquiry is likely to consider.

In this SBS report – which highlights our advocacy work – a support group says it is hopeful that a Victorian parliamentary inquiry into cults and fringe groups will raise awareness of the harm such groups are causing and drive change to them accountable.

Multi-Level-Marketing schemes often operate like cults (not all, but some do). It would be great if the Victorian Inquiry into cults, fringe groups, and coercive control, heard more about this.

The Victorian Inquiry into cults, organised fringe groups, and coercive control isn’t about attacking beliefs, it’s about calling our abusive and harmful behaviour in order to promote safe and healthy communities! #InquiryInsights #cults #coercivecontrol #parliamentvictoria #highcontrolgroup

The Victorian Parliamentary Inquiry into cults and coercive control is underway! Submissions from anyone who has been impacted by cults linked to Victoria are welcomed.

It’s a team effort! @jlalich.bsky.social is supporting the process too.

Hopefully the Victorian Inquiry will have a ripple effect to other states and countries.

Anyone involved in a cult or fringe group linked to Victoria is welcome to put in a submission, even if they don’t live in Victoria.

Thanks for sharing - I’m working behind the scenes with some others who are supporting the process and hadn’t gotten around to posting anything on here.

Not too sure how many QAnon followers still believe Trump is going to provide them with med beds any day now, but I think it’s worth others knowing what’s been going on behind the scenes.

Same!
