As a rule, led a religious organization is a strong charismatic personality that can have a powerful impact on others and subjugate their will.Sometimes a leader, in addition to natural data, has expertise in the field of psychology, received them in the learning process, and sometimes even have the skills of hypnosis and suggestion.In all cases, it has a powerful tool - the ability to control the consciousness of the masses.And from whose hands these weapons appeared, who became its victims, often depend mental health, material well-being, and sometimes the lives of many people.
dangerous sects in Russia
Sectarianism is widespread throughout the world.Unfortunately, our country is no exception.List of sects in Russia is quite wide, but there there are several organizations that stand out from the crowd.Their activities often go beyond the law.Let us dwell on them in detail.
First of all, it is a sect called the "White Brotherhood".The organization has done a lot of noise, this ten years ago, when its leaders were on the dock.It is known that the leader of the sect Yu Krivonogov during the Soviet period was a KGB officer and served in the department, to develop methods of influencing the mass consciousness of the people.After the national system of KGB was abolished Krivonogov appropriated part of the special equipment.In addition, he possessed the skills of hypnosis and psychological impact on people.
Together with his wife Marina Tsvigun, a former employee of the Dnipropetrovsk regional committee of Komsomol, and then - a journalist of a local newspaper, he organized sect.Marina on his script was supposed to be the incarnation of Jesus Christ.Religious revelation is poured spouses to adepts of the sect are nothing but a wild mixture of quotes from different nadergano occult teachings.Interspersed were excerpts from the works of Blavatsky, Roerich, yoga and various Indian religious concepts and teachings of the Kabbalah.
Engineering department at the service of the secret sect
But the main weapon were, of course, the skills learned in the secret department of the KGB.As a result of active work of the spouses in the sect were attracted thousands of followers.Control over their consciousness Krivonogova with his newly founded messiah able to establish just phenomenal.People were selling their possessions and carried the money to a sect, broke with their families and settled in specially organized villages.There they eked out a meager existence, without having the right to any manifestation of his will.There was a complete zombie followers.
themselves leaders of the sect on the money of their victims were chic lifestyle.There are cases of suicide and mass generated by the fear of the end of the world, which was part of their "exercises".As a result, the couple found themselves behind bars.But now begins a new round of the history of the sect called the "White Brotherhood".Marina Tsvigun came to liberty and launched a broad revival of its activities.Judging by the scale of the works, it is not constrained by finances.
"neo-Pentecostals"
list of sects in Russia should continue the story of an organization that is now considered the largest in the country.This sect of "neo-Pentecostals," or, as they are called, "charismatics."According to some reports, it has in our country about 300,000 adherents, accounting for nearly half of all sects in Russia.This organization was born in America in the seventies of the XX century.For their collections they rent concert halls and stadiums.Everything is carried out in a well-staged show on purely American style.
False spiritual guidance
Their basic doctrine is certainly appealing to the masses, is the thesis that the true Christian must be healthy, happy and rich.To become so, you need only bring money to the sect.The more prinesёsh, the sooner get rich and become a true believer.On the methods of the impact is uncertain, but they work perfectly.Thousands mass in unison fall into a state of near ecstasy.Even in dire need suddenly begin to feel rich, and patients feel the illusory surge of health.
sect - the killer of hundreds of people
As seen from the above examples, the modern sects are armed with elaborate methods of influence on the human psyche.Arsenal of their funds is very wide.Do not underestimate the danger they represent.To again illustrate this, let us recall the organization, which, fortunately, is not included in the list of sects in Russia.At the time, her name is often mentioned in the media.This - "Temple of the nations."The Lord has saved us from this mischief, but to talk about it will not be superfluous.
Its founder, Jim Jones, in 1955 in the American city of Indianapolis, gathered a group of followers of their religious teachings, which soon moved into the jungles of Guyana.By pathological hatred of America and all the people, he was able in the territory, which is engaged in the settlement to create the likeness of a totalitarian state, and in its worst form.He achieved slavish adherents from all sects.His will was done without question.
This dictator felt sympathy for the Soviet Union and totalitarian system installed in it.One of the streets of the village was named after Lenin.He even asked the Soviet authorities to grant him and the members of the sect opportunity to immigrate to the USSR.The response was positive, but prevented the tragedy that took place in 1978.More than nine hundred members of the sect on the orders of its creator committed suicide."Peoples Temple" ceased to exist.Jim Jones was convicted, but in 2002 was released ahead of schedule.
Scientology sect
list of sects in Russia will not be complete if you do not remember the organization called "Scientology."This team is also the "American bottling", and many others.In the fifties of the XX century it created a fiction writer Ronald Hubbard.The main point of his teaching is the doom of the present world.He will die, but life does not stop.Those who in the world have achieved the ideal, will find life after death.
become a perfect being can be, having been trained Scientologists.The course is paid and very expensive, but nothing will sacrifice for the sake of eternity.No wonder this organization is called the "sect of the rich."According to experts, it is the daily income of between three and five million dollars.In our country, it has offices in different cities.The main office is located in Moscow.
"Jehovah's Witnesses"
Many residents of our cities is familiar sect of "Jehovah's Witnesses."How dangerous are they?Most adherents persistently call on the doors of apartments and stop people on the streets, offering to listen to their pseudo-religious dogma, to learn the "true" understanding of Scripture, eternal life.It is necessary to show them any interest, they become neotvyazchivy, pop your brochures and offer certainly visit their congregation.Technology recruitment of new members thought out so that people hardly notice it becomes an active member of the sect.
This organization is headquartered in the United States and offices around the world.Despite the fact that they call themselves Christians, nothing to do with Christianity, their teaching does not matter.In all their activities are clearly visible true, purely mercenary motives.In our country, the sect has long been outlawed, but with the onset of perestroika all restrictions were lifted, and members of the organization launched a storm of activity.St. Petersburg residents remember how in 1992 at the Kirov Stadium, which seats 100,000 spectators held their congress in the Jehovah's Witnesses who came not only from Russia but also from abroad.
