That has to be one of the most in-depth articles concerning on-campus cult groups I've read. I noticed one of the others commenting mentioned the inherent sadness in the lack of cult awareness programs on college campuses. I agree with this totally- it is sad. Unfortunately one of the trademarks of cult like behavior is "high pressure." This leaves me wondering how one could encourage kids to join such a program void of pressure without itself garnering attention from Rick Ross. I think the best advice in the article is for people to trust their inner voice. I've been doing this for years and years. On the downside, it is my inner voice which encourages my actual voice to say things like "My, what an ugly sweater." or "You're very fat." If only more people would respond to high-pressure friendships by listening to their inner voice(s), I think the world would be a better place. Actually, I just thought of an idea for a cult. I'll call it "inner voice" and we'll meet to talk about all the things our inner voices say that we ignore.
