ABSTRACT
Amuch more benign form of victims’ anger training than assassin training is when they are instructed to join an angry cult cause. One of the functions of some bits and pieces of the programmed mind is to disrupt non-cult activities that are designed to help survivors become free. For example, if a cult team leader is attacking a moderator on an on-line discussion board meant to support survivors, they will attack without thinking. For them, it is as if the whole world is a ritual site and they leap into the horrid festivities because that is what they have been tortured into doing. On communication boards for the professionals treating survivors, some of who are survivors themselves, we see the same sort of dynamics. People jumping on a cause, even a bad one, with compelling momentum.
