Cults ... split from "Liberty Movement Hides ..." thread

[FrankRep]

Everyone should notice that InterestedParticipant only attacks members of the "Liberty Movement."

Examples:


So far you've called G. Edward Griffin (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=195399&page=11&p=2172542), Judge Napolitano (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=225718&page=3&p=2485868), and John Birch Society (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=195399&page=11&p=2172542) all Controlled Opposition.

I'm just waiting for you to call Ron Paul Controlled Opposition next.

You're a cultmember, servicing the needs of its cult leaders. Why don't you ever do your own independent research that is not guided by the directs of the cult?

InterestedParticipant is now personally attacking me with name calling.

IP, Am I a cult member or apart of the Simulacra by being a Christian?

You'll do anything.... geez.

Wouldn't that discussion belong in the religion subforum?

[FrankRep]

Step outside the Simulacrum that they created through culture manipulation, television imagery, private political parties, fake political candidates, fake terror and manufactured wars, intelligence community driven drug infiltration

Religion is cultural, correct? This is a valid question.

Do you have a direct relationship with God, or are you talking about being a member of some kind of church. If church, what kind of church? My answer is dependent on your answers.

But with respect to your political affiliation, you are most definitely a member of a sophisticated cult.

Anyway, this is way off topic from this thread. I'll indulge your little setup here, but I'll cut it off if it continues to drag away from the larger theme of this thread, which again, is that the Liberty Movement is designed to hide the fact that there is no liberty movement.

Kind of like Watergate was designed to hide the fact that we have no law and order or oversight on our political process.

Or, kind of like the way elections and voting hide the fact that there is no democracy and that the public has no say.

Or, like the way airport security and the war on terrorism hides the fact that there is no Islamic terrorism.

How many more manufactured realities (hyperrealities) do we need to walk through and expose before people get the idea that they are buying into a lie, and the only way out is to expose the lie and walk away from them, to stop participating in them.

How exactly is the John Birch Society a "cult"? I find your statement offensive.

I addressed your question but under the terms that if this was going to take the OP off-topic that I would cut it off. If you want to address that issue, create a thread. But before you come back to me on that issue, go do some independent research on how cults work, how they impact their members, and take a look at examples such as Jonestown... there is plenty of revealing info at places like this (click here) (http://wwws.forummotion.com/social-systems-f7/was-jonestown-a-cia-medical-experiment-t272.htm).

Did you just compare the JBS to Jim Jones/Jonestown? Completely absurd.

[FrankRep]

So, this is a really good point. We were all Ron Paul supporters then, and we're all Ron Paul supporters now, even though our individual opinions may have changed, or simply developed more thoroughly.

So, what was it about Ron Paul that we all saw then, and we still see now? Was it the call for individual liberty, no matter what the heck the individual believes?
InterestedParticipant, are Ron Paul supporters actually Ron Paul cult members?

I don't know what IP would say, but being one I'd say yes. Especially with the way I went about zealously proselytizing for the man...

Go back and read my post. I suggested that you become educated on cults, and how they work. To that end, I offered Jonestown as one example of a cult that you may study.

Now, I have you on ignore for a reason. I will not be reading anymore of your posts in this thread, as rather than engage in the discussion of the OP, you seem to be hell-bent on catching me in some kind of trap, perhaps extracting a quote that can be used against me in the future, or simply disrupting this thread.

I have offered to discuss your topic in another thread. I am requesting that the mods please make sure that this poster is not allowed to continue to disrupt this thread in such a blatant manner.

I certainly went through a period where I believed Ron Paul could do no wrong and was a perfect individual. In that sense, I was a Ron Paul cult member. I might still be one. What cult are you part of?

You called me a Cult member. That is a personal attack.

[InterestedParticipant]

By the way, just to clarify this off-topic issue once and for all, I am a member of a cult, and I am its only member, and it is not accepting any new members. I am a Cult of One!

Don't cults appeal to people with a variety of personal issues? Low self-esteem, loneliness, desire to be a part of a group, those types of things. Any group of people will have some sort of leadership by people who want to be in control of others. The liberty movement is unique, it is made up of individuals who want to be individualists, not a part of a cult. There are certainly cult behaviors, like the idolization of Ron Paul. And ostracization of members who fail to abide by the rules. (Behave or you get banned). At what point does a group become a cult?

Cult pejoratively refers to a group whose beliefs or practices could be considered strange or sinister.

You all are a strange bunch.. with your liberty movements and all...
