Perhaps if you find those four listed at below link you can point them out to us all.
Cults of the World Today
What’s the definition of “cult”? Because it’s a pejorative term.
And although I am not a member of any of the four sects you listed, I would not consider them to be cultish. None of them is The People’s Temple or the Branch Davidians.
I couldn’t agree with you more. CJ is the one who listed them and it’s up to her to find them in those links, in the few I checked only two were listed as cults.
Why?
Because he's an idiot and a complete flake?
I have no issue with the exposure he is receiving.
But it's probably quite embarrassing for the stupid people who support him.
Explain how Carson supporters are "stupid". What, exactly, defines them as being "stupid"?
I know a few people who consider the Roman Catholic Church as being a “cult”.
Note how Rubio has been loudly amd pointedly running away from amnesty lately. That is his most public weakness. Note I said public. He’s got hidden stuff, too.
Their trying to tarnish Carson, and yes, several prominant (sorta) freepers are fanning the flames.
This is like a survivor series. I do hope the GOPe and the donor class friken go down in flames. If it takes brutal tactics I’m up for it. Done with queensbury rules. MMA time.
Personally, I think this is the time for super spidey sense... it is starting to slip away from Cruz, Carson and Trump. They need to track these pulsations and at the first sign - or hopefully before - they turn towards momentum they need to do something dramatic and breathtaking or the various scenarios will be realized. JUST LIKE WITH NEWT. The Holy Trinity need to get together and merge with Trump President, Carson VP and Cruz Attorney General. It is then officially over for the Gop and Hillary. Perilous times, desperate measures.
Second Amendment. Puerto Rico. TPP. Amnesty.
If he made any comment on faith I didn't hear it and don't think it's relevant to the POTUS race.
And, in my book, anyone who supports somebody with those positions is stupid. I suspect the same rings true for a vast majority of Conservatives.
I suggest team Cruz get back to making the case for their candidate instead of racing around here smearing the other candidates.That's the Cruz strategy. Hang around and hope everyone ahead of him dies or is killed off so he can take their spot... he has nothing else except prayer meetings and (meaningless) straw polls.
Just wait until Trump hits him over the head for his pro-Obama, pro-Iran vote. Trump has been bringing up the Iran deal a lot lately, I guarantee you Cruz is walking on eggshells over that (unconstitutional, pro-Obama) vote.
Does anybody actually know what Carson stands for on most of the major issues?..Doesn't matter, he's black.
These days if you ain't black, gay or illegal you ain't sh!t
My second choice is Carson but my first has always been Ted Cruz. Now our overlords are turning from the destruction of Carson to concentrate on Cruz. I anticipated this but it’s still brutal and depressing to watch.
His hubris will not allow that.
He believes all he has to do is publicly proclaim his faith and warn the Democrats are coming and he'll be home free.
Cruz supporters do not hold him to account for the recent votes he has cast...then hypocritically disowned.
And he always makes sure to let everyone know he's the smartest guy in the room. This is his great weakness as a candidate to the LIV.
Most of the mass media stories have been derisive of his religious faith. That's why I asked.
We who work on jobsites throughout the land do just fine in our little portapotties, year 'round. If we can deal with them, so can the confused and twisted sexuals.
Is this actually from his book???
It reads like a joke. I guarantee, that if a student was bright enough, at my - or my kids' high school, to be accepted by "most of the top colleges in the country", and only had $10.00, the teachers/counselors/staff/parents would somehow come up with the college application fees to help this student apply to more than one college. This just doesn't add up.
Let me refer you to the two books, “The Four Major Cults” and “Kingdom of the Cults”. Both can be found at christianbooks.com or amazon. com. Several of the Conservative sites were linking them this week, including Breitbart.
The cults I am referring to are all alleged to be “Christian”. Scientology is not, but it is certainly a different type of cult.
Two books on the subject (there are many) are “Kingdom of the Cults” and “The Four Major Cults”. Both can be found at christianbooks.com and amazon. com. Breitbart and a few other websites were linking these books just this week. I read “Kingdom of the Cults” over 20 years ago.
Cults that propose to be Christian diminish or alter the identity of Christ in some way. J.W.’s and SDA’s teach that Jesus and the Archangel Michael are the same being.
Mormons teach much the same even claiming that Lucifer was Jesus’ brother.
Cults preach “another Jesus”. Paul warned us of this saying, “If I, or an angel from heaven come to you preaching another Jesus other than the One I have preached, let him be accursed.”
Puerto Rico has been a territory for more than a hundred years why should its citizens be denied full representation in the government of the United States??
