These are some contradictions that i've come across on the site of yours. quite interesting.
Are you under mind control?:
http://www.spotlightministries.org.uk/mctrct.htm
here are some interesting stuff from this page:
"Does the group pour scorn upon, attack, and mock other Christian churches and their interpretation of the Bible?"
This quote is interesting. It is fact that catholics look down on all other christian subreligions such as protestant, mormons, Jahovah witnesses, methodists, and many more, saying that their teachings are wrong and taint the word of god and christ. And infact, your site looks down on Jahovah witnesses and critisize their beliefs, which is very un-christian-like(http://www.spotlightministries.org.uk/jwmain.htm). your site also makes fun of and critisize mormons, which is also very un-christian-like(http://www.spotlightministries.org.uk/mormonism.htm). There's much more!
Take a look at the way the group looks and acts. Does everyone dress more or less the same, act the same, and talk the same? One observer, speaking of his particular involvement with a cult, said that the group encouraged its members “to do everything in exactly the same way - to pray the same, to look the same, to talk the same. This in psychology is a classic example of group conformity. Its purpose is to ensure that no-one tries to act differently or become dissident, thus nobody questions the status quo.” (Andrew Hart, Jan. 1999).
This strikes me odd, because like many catholics in church, they all wear very similar clothing, a certain dress code. the women all wear dresses and men wear formal clothes such as slacks, dress shoes and button up shirts. maybe catholics are cultists. mormons are the same, same for Jahovah witnesses, same for methodists and so on. Why can't they be different and wear different clothing than those that are suggested, BECAUSE they'd be frowned apon and discouraged and become an outcast by others of their church.
Next subject:
"Does the group discourage association with non-members (except, maybe, for the possibility of converting them to the group)?"
Christians discourage association with other religions, such as jews and isralies, you know why? because they don't belive in our god or christ himself as their savior or even at all. We shun other groups of religions, and go so far as to try and convert them.look at missionaries in the past and now, they go to other countries such as africa and the middle east spreading the word of christ and god, saying that they will go to hell if they don't go 'towards the light of god, specifically ours'. They enforce other cultures of other religions to read the bible and become christians(that sounds a lot like a cult, and you know it's true) to save their lives. But human beings all have their own right of believing who they want and what they want, and that should not be tainted or changed.
Does the group give you ‘black and white answers’? What the group agrees with is right and what the group disagrees with is wrong.
Christianity is very much like this, they tell you that christ is good and satan is bad, how do you know? you never do, you always go off of someone else's word. Your idea of right and wrong should be of your own opinion, not enforced by others and what they say. I'm sure satan is a good guy, YOU never know because he is proclaimed evil by those who say so. another example is sex. Christians believe and enforce sex after marriage, and that if you have sex before marriage, you will go to hell. How do they know? they don't know unless they personally experienced it, but nobody can because when they die,they don't come back, and souls, ghosts, spirits, are just energy left behind. many ghosts you see are just repetitive images of those who lived, energy repeating itself from when it was alive. they can not learn or teach, only be there where there is strong energy.
Does everyone in the group believe exactly the same things (i.e. what the group leaders tell them to believe)? Is there no room for individual belief, or opinion even in minor areas?
JACKPOT! exactly what every religion is. The belief of one thing which is made of smaller things, Priests, group leaders of christianity, tell and preach upon it's followers to believe in christ. Those who have their opinion of the belief aren't heard because they are opposing to something of that belief, even in minor areas( for example, adam and eve, evolution, such forth).
and last but not least:
"Do you feel fearful of leaving the group? Many cults use subtle fear tactics to stop members from leaving. For example, the group may imply that those who leave will be attacked by the Devil, have a nasty accident, or at least not prosper because they have left ‘the truth’."
Many christian groups actually threaten( yes, they will use threats such as this) that those who leave the religion, will go to hell or be cast upon by satan or another source of evil(succubi, incubi, demons of evil, etc).
I see that it sounds like Christianity is just one big group of christian mongers who lie, deceive, hate, and manipulate, much like a cult.
I plead that this not be deleted and be debated over, I find these topics very crucial to christians as well as other groups, but mainly christians, because they are the most hateful, in a subliminal way, of the religions because the christian religion is so torn up and separated into it's dozens of groups, and yes, christianity has many many sub-religions within itself. christians are stuck up and insignificant(well, most of them)people who are blind.
If you would like to debate with me about all this, go ahead and do so, my e-mail address is: The_great1_43@hotmail.com
Editors note: I myself am a christian. I am not catholic, protestant, methodist or any of the other dumb sub-religions within christianity. neither am i jewish, muslim, buddhist or any of those. I believe in christ, and god. I havn't read the bible or any of that, my belief comes from the heart.
