Primarily. 2) Communications can't be trusted 3) Someone had a hard time getting along with others and tries to force co crutch dependence On the positive side, if like me, you are still here, Thank God The Almighty. Peace and Gods Blessings to all. TLH When you know, when you’re in a cult:

1) You can’t get out or remember how to get out.

Primarily.

2) Communications can’t be trusted

3) Someone had a hard time getting along with others and tries to force co crutch dependence

On the positive side, if like me, you are still here, Thank God The Almighty.

Peace and Gods Blessings to all.

Also, in terms of Islam, I wonder how Sufism interacts with the concept of "cult". What I mean is, suppose Shaykh So-and-so *actually* is one of the ulema and the awliya and is really charismatic. Wouldn't that person's followers look like a cult?!? Personally, I don’t really like the concept of “cult” because it I think it is really easy to abuse.

A sort of tight clinched attachment to times gone by and the need to shape todays reality to those "golden" times without regard to relevance, context and continuity. wa Allahu `Alim I would add; staunch overtures to a “golden era” and a prestine time gone by.
