more than two-thirds of cult members are recruited by a friend,family member

In fact, more than two-thirds of cult members are recruited by a friend,family member,or co-worker whose invitations are harder to refuse.Once in the cult, members are subjected to multiple forms of indoctrination.Some play on our natural inclination to
mimic social behaviors or follow orders.Other methods may be more intense using techniques of coercive persuasion involving guilt, shame, and fear.And in many cases, members may
willingly submit out of desire to belong and to attain the promised rewards.
