Ten warning signs you are part of a cult. (Ron Paulians take note.)

Found this list at: http://www.rickross.com/warningsigns.html

It is scary to see just how many that describe the people at the Ron Paul Forums EXACTLY.

1. Absolute authoritarianism without meaningful accountability.

2. No tolerance for questions or critical inquiry.

Too many links on the forums to mention.

3. No meaningful financial disclosure regarding budget, expenses such as an independently audited financial statement.

Tens of millions of dollars raised. 14 delegates. No real ads paid for. Where is all that money? Saved for a book tour?

4. Unreasonable fear about the outside world, such as impending catastrophe, evil conspiracies and persecutions.

Don't even need to link for this one. Conspiracy? Like how RonPaulians think that Ron Paul got 20% of the vote but was kept down by fraud...The conspriacy to not report on a candidate with FOURTEEN delegates this late in the race. (even though NO candidate in the history of the primaries has ever received even CLOSE to the amount of news coverage with as little support as Ron Paul.)

5. There is no legitimate reason to leave, former followers are always wrong in leaving, negative or even evil.

Forums seems alive and well to me. They'll either come back in due time or they were never supporters--or patriots--to begin with.


6. Former members often relate the same stories of abuse and reflect a similar pattern of grievances.

All you have to do is check out all the "woe is me" stories about how RonPaulians were discriminated against over the last 6-8 months to know this one.

7. There are records, books, news articles, or television programs that document the abuses of the group/leader.

8. Followers feel they can never be "good enough".

9. The group/leader is always right.

10. The group/leader is the exclusive means of knowing "truth" or receiving validation, no other process of discovery is really acceptable or credible. owing "truth" or receiving validation, no other process of discovery is really acceptable or credible.

Yup..whatever Ron Paul says is the absolute truth. No questions asked.
