or traits cause someone to be susceptible to high control fring religions? Perhaps
What do you think? Or, do character traits have anything to do with religious susceptibility?
Afraid to comment?
Having parents that are in a cult and therefore being raised in said cult?
Yes, that's a lot of us. I'm speaking of first generation jws though.
I thought you were probably talking about first geners. I just thought I'd help you btt.
Thank you mam.
Pleasure, sir.
phew... I thought you were talking about me until I got to bullet 3.
JD, probably everything you mentioned compounded by some catastrophic event or heavy feelings of failure. I also think it attracts narcissistic people too. I think it attracts predators, just look how many use the congregation to get away with spousal and child abuse.
Any one can be susceptable to manipulation by a cult. Especially if they have recently been through a painful situation such as the death of a loved one, break up of a romantic relationship, financial difficulties, loneliness, concern about the future, etc. We were supposed to be looking for those who were "sighing and crying" remember?
