SENSATIONAL stuff.. stuff that rattles the mind. that is what most pple feel a cult is.
this that was printed is nothing more then just another religous group. no weirder then amish, the babtist, or the monks.This is exactly the kind of thinking that warms the workers hearts. If you don't think the Amish are a cult then you need to pull your head out of the sand. Be careful though, the sunlight could blind you at first. The Amish don't hide in the dark without a name claiming to be God's only children do they? I love the image and reputation of the Amish and and oh so many other Christian sects. To hear a bunch of super Christians go on about themselves is kind of absurd. I would love to hear some 2x2's tell us about what God has done for his creation. But they insist it is them alone that know and serve God. It's like telling all of Christianity that 2x2=5 Yes let's have everyone believe this and use all their faith to keep believing in the 2x2's and not Jesus as "real" Christians do.

Group suicide . . . Gun ownership . . . Criminal activity . . .
... all things that are not a requirement to be considered a cult.
Speaking of "cult definitions," what's yours?

Speaking of "cult definitions," what's yours? that isnt my point.. i know you can probably find some definition of cult and point to reasons that the 2x2s fit. but if you just started grabbing pple off of the street and telling them about this "cult" of 2x2s, they wouldnt think so. when pple think of cults, they think of sensational. so, all i am saying is you are going to look silly in general public opinion saying this group is a cult. but hey, do whatever you want.

I would suggest that you do some basic research on cults. Google "mind control" for a good start. There is absolutely no question that the 2x2s are a cult in the same mold as JWs, Mormons, Amish, etal. To narrowly define cults as only Branch Davidians and the like is uninformed. Another excellent word to research is "cohersive persuasion" - that's what the 2x2s do.

I think they are being cheated of knowing God and Jesus !! I think they are sold a false truth, and then fear is used to keep them away from the "real Truth". If they did know God, they might not be so impressed with themselves (as a group) The 2x2's seem to have an inferiority complex as Christians, and one of the characteristics and behaviors of an inferiority complex can be a grandiose notions, such as being God's only true servants, not able to see the work of God in other Christians. Overcompensating for their lack of actual spiritual journeys. In the worker world, if people believe your pretense, then it must be true, cause people believe you. You have sold them. So if you can convince others of something, that is what matters. A great place to learn how to act = the 2x2's

I know most of the answers, yet, I remain as humble as a slave. In fact I am very very humble, yet I know the answers to lifes problems. I even know 2+2=4

If you use the definitions of cult from many sources, then all Christianity is a cult.
There are so many definitions, its almost as if someone wants to write a new definition to suit every new group they don't like.

I think this message board is contaminated quite badly and maybe the admin should just deleate the whole board. Then folks can jump to civil disclosure board ar many other 2x2 boards that are moderated
