Showing titles in Cults

In the transparent story of her life, Kelly James Davis takes us on a journey from a happy middle class family into 30 years of a religious cult. The group was birthed out of the Jesus movement of the late '60s and early '70s but quickly departed from Scripture and eventually demanded separation from family and other outside influences.

Faith Jones was raised to be part of an elite army preparing for the End Times. Isolated on a farm in Macau, she practised devotions and read letters of prophecy written by her grandfather, the leader of the now infamous cult The Children of God. A direct decedent of the founding family, Faith featured in international media coverage - she was celebrated as extraordinary and then published doubly as a sharp reminder that she was not. With indomitable grit, Faith created a world of her own, pilfering books and educating herself in secret.

Imagine a place where you are accepted and loved, where there is complete honesty and transparency, where you can be yourself and no longer have to strive to be someone else. Envision a safe haven where you could live in perfect peace and have everything you needed and wanted. That was the dream - the hope - that Trinity Foundation offered and that we naively believed. I Can’t Hear God Anymore is an inspiring and instructive example of how normal people caught in the skillful manipulations of an abusive cult can find their way back to spiritual and psychological health.

Symbols have been used by secret societies since time immemorial; their power is used to control minds as they seek to transcend established laws and governments. The Illuminati is perhaps the largest secret organization in the world, and while many have yet to come to terms with the reality that they are introducing a New World Order, those who have embraced the truth have made positive steps to inform others of what could mark the start of yet another dark age.

When Lily Dunn was six years old, her father left for India to join the cult of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh. She grew up enthralled by the myth of him—a brilliant, charismatic writer and entrepreneur who would appear with gifts from faraway places.

Asmoday gained fame for being mentioned in Goetia books and is a highly sought after Demon. In this book, I present ways to contact the Asmoday God without all the christian rubbish purposefully inserted to get in the way of results. A true adept of the occult knows that one should never invoke an entity using the name of their enemies, but that is exactly what christian grimoires teach. And the worst thing is that people practice this, harm themselves and then say that Magick is dangerous, or even that it doesn't work. Practice the Magick I teach correctly and I doubt you will say it ...

This book came out of a life-changing episode of "perfect storm" dimensions. As a 65-year-old man, life as I had known it became a force-10 gale. My career had crashed, my marriage of 27 years had ended suddenly, and I was nearly broke. AA was no longer the help it had been for me - no longer the flotation device or life preserver tossed to a victim who had washed overboard. Instead, it offered virtually no solutions at all - because I had finally outgrown it - and according to AA, you're not supposed to do that.

We all grew up under constant instruction: from the pulpit, from our parents, from each other. The Ten Commandments. Obedience. Submission. Purity. Fear God. Honour your leaders. Hell for the wicked. There was no space for questions because we already had the answers. If something felt unclear...

The writer of the Book of Ecclesiastes in the Old Testament said that "there is no new thing under the sun" (Eccl. 1:9) and students of church history never cease to be amazed that the same theories and philosophies arise from time to time in the Church of Jesus Christ. The ONENESS doctrines, which, we are told, have come as a result of a present-day "revelation", are, in reality, a revival of old errors, which were propagated and developed during the early centuries of the Christian era. These old discredited theories were rejected then because they were weighed and found wanting - and, ...

The NEW AGE MOVEMENT, as it is commonly called, could be likened to a counterfeit "John the Baptist movement", preparing the way for the coming antichrist and his rule on earth in the end time. It is not one single movement, with a specific leader at this time, but a rallying together of thousands of groups and individuals, all working towards a common aim. This worldwide network has been described as a "huge cosmic sponge that absorbs all religions, cultures and governments, and culminates in the New World Order." Its principle aim is to establish a one-world, a one-world religion and a ...
