How to start & run a cult?

Fernando

I must not forget to teach MY followers NOT to scrutinise anything I teach that cannot withstand scrutiny.

I must make them feel special,
I must constantly remind them that they have unique knowledge that only cult members have, and they are special because those not in the cult will all be destroyed.

2 Rules of Cult Leaders:
Rule #1) Convince the people you speak for God. (or for the highest form of . . . yoga, commercialism, politics, etc)
Rule #2) Tell the people to 'sit down, shut up, or else!" Then, keep repeating the rules.

the leader is love,
When I'm not with him,
I feel like a shlub.
