How do I start a cult? |
How do I start a cult?
I've been researching the history of some cults like the Mormons,
People Temple and Scientology, They make it look so damn easy. Does
anyone have any ideas on how I can start a cult? Can anyone recommend
a good book that really lays out the "how to" step by step.

No book necessary.
First, find stupid people...
Tell them that something bad is happening or is going to happen to them.
Tell them that it's okay, because you have the answer to that problem, and
all they have to do is listen carefully to what you want them to do in order
to solve the problem.
Simple!
This method is also effective for budding politicians as well as cult
leaders.
However, if you need some step by step pointers, try here

Look through BIble and cherry-pick a few passages then use these to
prophesy your coming. Preach to confused adolescents. Look for kids
who are doing poorly in school and who have had trouble with drugs,
althugh not too much trouble. Pretend to listen to their whining and
mewing then seduce the prettier girls, but don't allow sex of any sort
among your unmarried members. Send them to work and confiscate all
their money. When older people are attracted to your tent, tell whem
they have to tithe 30% (tell them you've translated the original
Biblical texts inspired by the Holy Ghost and the Bible deamnds 30% or
horror and death will result.) Preach the end times.

That's a pretty good how-to list.
It would be hard to improve upon, but perhaps speaking in tongues could be
added to prove to your followers that you really have a hot line to God and
that the babbling makes perfect sense to you.

Good point. Hmmm... let's see. Ah! I've got it! Before your followers
are to die, you must go on a pilgramage to the Holy Land of Maui. Of
course, you must go on this pilgrimage alone so that your highly personal
experience will not be polluted by those of lesser faith (like your
followers).
Since it takes a long time for God to answer the prayers of pilgrims, you
would need to take all of the money along with you - partly as an offering
to Him and partly to sustain your physical being until such time as He
allows you to transcend your mortal shell.
Your followers could either wait patiently for you to return (very
patiently) or they could drink Kool-Aid.
Do I have all of the bases covered?

Sharon Gans left San Francisco amidst scandal in 1978
November 15, 2002
By Rick Ross
More than twenty years ago Sharon Gans was a leader of a group located
in San Francisco, California. Sharon and her husband Alex Horn ran the
"Theater of All Possibilities. But a scandal drove them out of town
during 1978. The San Francisco Examiner ran an investigative report
about the group titled "Strange School."
The story ran the day before Christmas Eve 1978, after Sharon and Alex
had already left San Francisco. They and a core group of devoted
students eventually ended up in Manhattan and Boston.
Former members of their school told shocking personal stories to
reporters from the Chronicle. And their accounts about the Gans/Horn
school included allegations of "brainwashing" and "violence."
The "Theater of All Possibilities" like Gans current school, claimed to
be based upon the precepts of Russian philosophers George Ivanovich
Gurdieff and P.D. Ouspensky. A "theater" supposedly devoted not only to
art, but also to "enlightenment."
In December of 1978 the Gans/Horn Theater on Golden Gate in San
Francisco closed its doors and they were never opened again.
It seems Gans and Horn left town when they learned that police and
social welfare investigators were interviewing their former students.
Investigators were told about beatings, child neglect and large fees
charged by the couple, which generated a huge income.
Students said they paid hundreds and at times thousands of dollars in
cash to Gans and Horn. They also talked about repeated "intimidation."
Some former students were too afraid to come forward. However, others
eventually shared their personal stories with a San Francisco police
inspector, a juvenile court probation officer, a city social worker and
Chronicle reporters.
The allegations
* Beatings by theater leaders if students didn't meet quotas
regarding ticket sales. They typically sold tickets by soliciting people
on the street.
* Beatings and fines for making noise backstage, for "whimpering"
or falling asleep.
* Harassment of poor students to pay for classes.
* Arranged marriages.
* Pressured to have children. One member said, "We were expected to
get pregnant, (and) Sharon was always haranguing the women to have babies."
* Couples ordered to separate and divorce.
* Neglect of small children when parents worked for the group.
Police investigated an informal group child-care center after receiving
reports of bruises and injuries concerning some of the children.
A probation officer in Juvenile Court told The Chronicle that he and a
police inspector made preliminary inquiries about the group's child-care
arrangement. They said children were not properly cared for.
Frederick Mindel an attorney representing Gans and Horn at the time
refused to comment.
No known formal complaints had been filed with Bay Area law enforcement
at the time of the story.
Why did students stay?
The students explained they believed that the bizarre behavior within
the group was part of their "learning process." And that somehow
whatever happened was tied to their teachers' understanding of Gurdjieff
and Ouspensky.
Students also said that the harsh discipline and long hours wore them
down. They did not have time to think. One student said, "They kept
telling us we were ***** and so we finally came to believe it."
One of the group members who did leave told reporters that her husband
stayed. She explained, "If your spouse leaves, you either go with him or
her or you get divorced and remarry within a month. And students are
ordered never to speak to ex-students."
The Gans/Horn business
California corporation papers filed for "Everyman Inc." in 1973 listed
Frederick Mindel, Martin Kahn and Lynne Scalapino as "the persons who
are appointed to act as first directors." Everyman was the official
corp. name that the Gans/Horn theater operated under at one time.
Mindel told the Chronicle he was "assisting the Theatre of All
Possibilities, as a friend of the Theatre, in becoming properly
introduced to the San Francisco theater community."
Incorporation articles for Everyman described its purpose as "a theater
for the performance of stage productions, and to initiate, sponsor,
promote, and carry out plans, policies and activity that will tend to
further the prosperity and development of this theater and the
theatrical arts."
Everyman's first play ran four hours and was titled, "The Fantastical
Arising of Padraic Clancy Muldoon," written by Alex Horn and starring
Sharon Gans. Gans was somewhat known for her film performance in the
movie, "Slaughterhouse Five." However, it was her first and last movie role.
Critics apparently didn't appreciate Horn's work. One wrote, "In more
than ten years of reporting on the local theater scene, I remember no
more punishing experience&"
In San Francisco the Gans/Horn theater group was well known for selling
tickets aggressively to anyone they could on the streets of the city.
One former student said that they knowingly over sold performances to
raise more cash. And group leaders held "ticket meetings" to harass
members to sell more. A former student told reporters that "at least a
dozen times," she watched leaders "slap or punch men" because they
didn't sell enough tickets.
Students were told to come to class to "help us improve our lives." The
initial fee was $100 cash and then typically $200 per month.
Between 50 and 100 members were paying monthly fees. One estimate put
the cash flow from fees alone to Gans and Horn at about $20,000 per
month, with an additional $20,000 monthly from ticket sales. The two
apparently pulled in almost a half million dollars annually.
"Total Theatre Inc." was also a California corporation formed during
1976, by Gregory Koch, Mike Hilsenrad and Mike Imlay, all associated
with the Gans/Horn group. According to public records that corporation's
directors included Robert Klein, Hilsenrad and lawyer Mindel.
In early 1978 the California Department of Corporations listed Mindel on
forms regarding the issuance of stock in Total Theatre. But no stock was
issued by December of 1978 and Gans and Horn were not named in that
paperwork.
Alex and Sharon's California lifestyle
In 1978 Sharon Gans and Alex Horn lived in the exclusive neighborhood of
Pacific Heights in a home valued at about $300,000.
The couple listed some of their personal expenses within documents filed
at San Francisco City Hall.
During March of 1977, Alex Horn and Sharon Gans-Horn signed a long-term
lease for $1,500 a month, on an 11-room house. In the application Horn
claimed that he made $60,000 annually as a "teacher-director-writer." He
also called himself a "producer-director," and stated he had no superior.
Quick exit
The Chronicle could never reach Sharon Gans or Alex Horn for comment.
Apparently, they left town in a hurry.
On November 18, 1978, a little more than one month before the Chronicle
ran its story "Strange School," the mass-suicide-murders at Jonestown
occurred. Almost a thousand people, overwhelmingly former San Francisco
residents, were led to their deaths by cult leader Jim Jones in the
jungle of Guyana.
San Franciscans were shocked by the tragedy, which also claimed the life
of their congressman Leo J. Ryan. Ryan. was murdered by Jones followers
while on a fact-finding trip undertaken to investigate the group.
When asked if Sharon Gans or Alex Horn would ever return to the Bay area
one student explained, "It's very iffy if they'll return. Alex and
Sharon are frightened as hell, paranoid about the possibility of press
reports linking them to 'another Jonestown in the making.'"
One reporter responded, "Leaving town with no comment would suggest guilt."
But apparently Gans and Horn didn't care. They probably reasoned that
everything would eventually just blow over. And it appears they were right.
Sharon Gans has amassed millions of dollars in assets and lives a much
more comfortable lifestyle today. She has an apartment in Manhattan, an
estate in upstate New York and a ranch in Montana.
Moving from the West Coast to the East Coast has proven to be quite
lucrative for the enduring "teacher," some now call a "cult leader."
Notes: This article was largely based upon "Strange School" San
Francisco Chronicle/December 23, 1978 By Michael Taylor and Bernard Weiner

And by all means, you can use Earl Weber here as a fine example of
someone that stupid and blind. Earl has proved time and again the he'll
blindly follow anything the RCC says, because he is really that stupid.
So, if you wish to start a cult, Earl Weber is the poster boy of what
you're are looking for in followers.

Earl, you couldn't embarrass me even if I gave you something to do it with.
You don't have the brains any longer. And you ain't no duke either.

Oh, so you admit to being blindly lead around by your nose from one lie
to another.
Good, next Earl, you can admit you have a problem with rational thought.
~ Maybe then, you'll start to understand how stupid you've been.
Highly unlikely, but still possible.

~ Maybe then, you'll start to understand how stupid you've been.
Highly unlikely, but still possible.
Yet you're the one that is making the claim that rational thought
negates past history. So let's see what you got.

Nope, already proven a number of times, your name is Earl Weber.

If you are attempting to use the bible as past history, you should
probably read the damned thing first.
Oh, and don't bother with trying to get your priest to translate it for
you Earl, he's just as ignorant as you.

If you are attempting to use the bible as past history, you should
probably read the damned thing first.
I already know the important parts and have volumes of supportive
documents availabe to me that leaves you empty-handed.
The bible **IS** past history just like any history book. It is a
compilation of the events and statements (gospels) involving Jesus
Christ, and especially including the religious habits and practices of
the local people of the period. It is a great history book.
Oh, and don't bother with trying to get your priest to translate it for
you Earl, he's just as ignorant as you.
The respository for the NT bible is the RCC.
The protest_ants did an about face 400 years ago form the teachings as
revealed to the RCC.
Any more stupid comments to make?

Yep, Martin Luther, a Roman Catholic, decided that although selling
indulgences was a perfectly legitimate practice, one whose legitimacy was
revealed truth communicated directly from the mouth of God, he did not like
it and decided to defy God and the RCC.

You seem to have the market on stupid comments cornered.
Alan
ex-RC, former altar boy, born-again atheist
p.s. I may be wrong about the existence of God, but even so, if I am wrong,
I will still get into heaven. Consider these pasages:
Deuteronomy 23 - No one whose testicles are crushed or whose penis is
cut off shall be admitted to the assembly of the Lord.
Deuteronomy 25:4 - Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out
the grain
I have never muzzled an ox and my penis is intact. Since my lack of
ox-muzzling and my firmly attached penis is pleasing to Yahweh I will be
forgiven by the Infinitely Merciful God for the untold number of sins I have
committed. QED.

The misuse of indulgences then was improper. But he also turned his

specifically were given by Jesus Christ to his Church on earth, the
Roman Catholic Church.
