The fact is that lots of experienced cult members have developed very sophisticated techniques in finding thigs that concern you etc and expoiting them.

You misunderstood what I am saying. I NEVER said to become part of a cult just so you explore them. What I said instead is STUDY the phenomenon (for me, that’s a form of exploration). I was never part of any cult in reality. But I did do my share of exploring my options and learning about everything I could when I was young. Just by teaching to a teenager that “this or that does not exist” does not necessarily turns off their curiosity meter. This is why many, must find the truth by themselves. Scientology and many other cults are extremely dangerous to simply mess out with. But reading about Scientology is important. Problem is, that most people don’t even do that! And THAT is why they so easily fall in the pit. Because they never took the time to explore the frauds around them. Just on Friday night I was reading about that stupid woman with the two sick sons who sent lots of money to <a href="http://www.peterpopoff.org/">Peter Popoff</a> who promised her a miracle holly water! I mean, if that woman knew the world around her, and what is capable of, she would never have fallen for that, no matter how desperate she was. >than exploring cults
