"Mind-altering practices (such as meditation, chanting, speaking in tongues, denunciation sessions, and debilitating work routines) are used in excess and serve to suppress doubts about the group and its leader(s)."
Like shouting "Yes we can!" over and over and over again?
And repeating the mantra "Change We Can Believe in!" over and over again.
"Questioning, doubt, and dissent are discouraged or even punished."
As a Byzantine Catholic, I meditate frequently. Our Sunday Liturgy is a chanted dialogue between the priest and the people. I have also been known to pray in tongues, and I am NOT a cultist.
These practices are just different enough from most common behaviors to cause suspicion, but the fact is that they are all legitimate Christian religious practices. Lumping those Christians among us who practice these things in our worship into your list of identifying characteristics of cultists does us a disservice.
