Critical Thinking on Cults & AntiCults
AntiCults exist for every Cult.
An out-group of people who were former members of any religion, or minority religion, have always existed to protest their former religious or spiritual belief.
They have simply come to realize a loss of faith.
That loss of faith is colossally disorienting. All people use their ideology or belief system to make sense of the world. So when your sense-making system collapses on you, you feel a certain sense of fuckness for a short, or a long, while.
AntiCults exist where people take up the AntiCult Ideology, mostly promulgated by Lifton and Hassan.
Influenced by anticultism, they deny their own choices made to get involved in their own previous religious pursuit and turn all those personal decisions into things they were ‘brainwashed’ to believe against their will and consent.
AntiCults must be critically examined, and questioned, as closely as Cults.

The Church of Scientology’s shore story on the death of Kyle Brennan continues to be run on social media in order to block the truth of what happened. But are they OSA Agents who are running these shore stories? Or are they “trusted” Anti-Scientologists?
