Just peruse this list of the top 10 signs of being in a cult (https://www.theodysseyonline.com/signs-you-are-in-a-cult), and you’ll see it is spot-on:

1. A single authoritative person or small group of people create rules to follow.

2. Your group is isolated or encouraged to stay and keep secrets within the in-group.

3. Critical thinking and questioning are met with resistance, deferment, and/or punishment.

4. Cults are totalistic.

5. Hostility, sanction, or aggression when leaving the group is brought up.

6. Formal ceremonies and rituals take place to indoctrinate and reaffirm beliefs communally.

7. “Love Bombing” or bipolar behavior.

8. Food, work, and social activity are monitored or controlled.

9. A sense of “community” is extremely valued above the comfort and desire of the individual.

10. Important decisions are influenced or made by the people in charge.
