Kwenziwa izindaba eziningi kulezi zinyanga ezimbalwa ezedlule mayelana nezimo eziyinqaba ezizungeze u-Allison Mack (“Smallville”) kanye nokubandakanyeka kwakhe ehlelweni lokushushumbiswa kwabantu ngocansi elesabekayo.

Uma usuka ngaphandle, uphithiza ingqondo futhi wenze umuntu azibuze ukuthi kufanele awele kude kangakanani ukuze akhukhulwe entweni enje.

The I-International Cultic Studies Association ithi ayikho iphrofayli ethile yomuntu siqu yabantu abahileleka emahlelweni. Empeleni bathi noma ngubani angazithola eseqenjini elifana naleli kodwa zikhona izinto ezingase zibe nomthelela ekutheni avuleleke emibonweni yabaholi abavamise ukuba nothando lwala maqembu.

Abantu abaningi abazithola behileleke ehlelo benza kanjalo ngesikhathi lapho bebhekene nokucindezeleka okukhulu noma izinguquko ekuphileni kwabo. Lapho izinto zinyakaziswa futhi nezindlela zazo ezivamile zokubhekana nazo zingasebenzi, yilapho-ke zisengozini enkulu khona.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, labo abajoyinayo, futhi i-ICSA iveza ukuthi cishe ama-25% kuphela alabo abasondelayo abakwenzayo, ngokuvamile bakwenza lokho ngoba bathola ukuthi izimiso zehlelo kanye nabaholi babonakala befeza isidingo esingokwengqondo kulezi zikhathi zenguquko esingahlangabezwanga kwenye indawo. .

Lokhu futhi, mhlawumbe, kungani izinkolo eziningi kangaka ziye zavela eTinseltown. Ngezindlela eziningi, iHollywood iyizwe lenguquko kanye namaphupho aphukile lapho izinsizwa nezintokazi eziningi kakhulu ezisengozini zizithole zingenayo indawo yokuhlala, ukudla okudliwayo, kanye nokuxhumana okuyisisekelo komuntu okudingayo ukuze achume.

Kube namaqembu amaningi anjalo kule minyaka eyikhulu edlule eDolobheni Lezingelosi, futhi uMack akayena ngisho nodume kakhulu ukuthi uzithole ehilelekile. Bheka uhlu olungezansi.

Inothi Eliseceleni: Ngeke uthole ukuthi kukhulunywa ngoCharles Manson “nomndeni” wakhe kulolu hlu. Ngibona sengathi akukho okusha engingakusho ngoCharlie omdala futhi ngibona kukuhle ukuthi usehambile futhi ngeke ahlukumeze omunye umuntu ngamazwi akhe.

Scientology

Uma sizokwenza lokhu, singase siqale phezulu, akunjalo?

U-L. Ron Hubbard mhlawumbe wayenguhlanya, ungqondongqondo, noma inhlanganisela embi yakho kokubili, kodwa wakwazi ukwakha iqembu elisebenze ngobuqili elingena endaweni ephezulu yomphakathi we-Hollywood A-List.

Amalungu eqembu eliyimfihlo kakhulu, elixhaphaza kakhulu ahlanganisa u-Tom Cruise, u-John Travolta, no-Elizabeth Moss ukusho abambalwa.

Amalungu e-Scientology afundiswa ukwenqaba izimfundiso nezinkonzo ze-psychology kanye nezengqondo. U-Hubbard waphikisa ngokuthi i-psychiatry yayisetshenziswa njengethuluzi lokucindezela ezombangazwe futhi wasola umkhuba wayo ngokuphakama kukaHitler nokuQothulwa Kwesizwe.

ISonto likholelwa ukuthi ingxenye enkulu yabantu ingabantu abacindezelayo. Babhekwa njengamabi futhi amalungu awavunyelwe ukusebenzisana nabo.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, amalungu alindeleke ukuba adlule ezinkathini ezijulile zokucwenga, futhi iBandla lize libe nohlelo lokufinyelela emphakathini/lokubuyisela esimweni esiye saba nesibopho sokuletha amalungu amaningi amasha eqenjini.

Enye yemikhuba emibi kakhulu yaleli qembu, nokho, ukusebenzisa kwayo “Igeyimu Elungile.” Inqubomgomo ye-Fair Game igqugquzela amalungu ukuthi ajezise ngokusobala nangobudlova futhi ahlukumeze labo abathathwa njengezitha zeBandla.

IBandla belilokhu liphakathi kwamatulo nezingxabano eziningi phakathi neminyaka edlule, njengoba ababekade bengamalungu anjengoLeah Remini beza ngaphambili bezokhuluma ngezinto eziyimfihlo eziqhubekayo zeScientology kanye nemikhuba yayo yokuxhaphaza imali nokufuna ukwethembeka okuphelele ezimfundisweni zeSonto abalandeli.

Mhlawumbe, imfihlo kanye nokuvuma izono okwalandela kwabebengamalungu okuholele umphakathi wonkana ukuthi konke akulungile ngaphakathi enhlanganweni.

Umndeni Womthombo

Thatha ibhendi eyodwa ye-rock ye-psychedelic, indawo yokudlela yemifino esezingeni eliphezulu, nomholi onothando futhi uzoqala ukuhlanganisa iresiphi edale Umthombo Womndeni.

UJames Edward Baker wazalelwa e-Ohio ngo-1922. Ngemva kokuthola iSilver Star kuMarines, wathuthela eCalifornia ngenhloso yokuba yisihlabani, kodwa lelo phupho lawela endleleni njengoba ethonywa yi-Beat Movement.

Ngo-1969, wavula indawo yokudlela yemifino ebizwa ngokuthi Umthombo. Maduze izoba ngenye yezindawo ezishisa izikhotha eHollywood lapho uMarlon Brando noJohn Lennon bephakathi kwenani eligcwele izinkanyezi labazinikele.

Kulapho-ke izinto zaqala ukuxaka.

Ngokushesha u-Baker washintsha igama lakhe waba nguFata Yod, waqala lokho okwakuzokwaziwa ngokuthi The Source Family. Indawo yokudlela yomthombo, okubikwa ukuthi ibihola imali efika ku- $10,000 ngosuku, yanikeza uFata Yod isithabathaba somuzi lapho aqala khona ukuhlangana.

Phakathi kwemizamo yeqembu lakhe, ehlanganisa imibono ye-Utopian kanye “nokuphila kwemvelo”, uBaba u-Yod naye waqala iqembu lokuhlola i-rock ye-psychedelic elibizwa ngokuthi i-Yod Ho Wa 13. Wathengisa okurekhodiwe kwabo ngemuva kwesitolo sokudlela ukuze aqhubeke nokufakazela indlela yokuphila ayeyikho. ukuhlakulela.

Le ndlela yokuphila yayihlanganisa amakhosikazi angu-14, oyedwa kuphela owayevela emshadweni osemthethweni. Ngo-1974, yena kanye nomgogodla womndeni bathuthela eHawaii, futhi wayezoshona eminyakeni emibili kamuva engozini yokulenga.

Amaqembu amaningi afana ne-The Source Family awaphili isikhathi eside ngemuva kwabasunguli bawo, kodwa muva nje ngo-2006 belisasebenza. Kwakungalowo nyaka lapho amalungu amabili, i-Isis Aquarian kanye ne-Electricity Aquarian, ashicilela umlando weqembu owakhuthaza ukuvuselelwa okuncane kokuthandwa kwalo.

I-Divine Order of the Royal Arms of the Great Eleven

“Futhi ngizonikela amandla kofakazi bami ababili, bayakuprofetha abayinkulungwane namakhulu amabili futhi izinsuku ezingamashumi ayisithupha, embethe indwangu yamasaka.”— IsAmbulo 11:3

Lelo kwakuyivesi elilodwa elivela eBhayibhelini le-King James elaqala elinye lamaqembu ayinqaba nalawo e-esoteric kulolu hlu: I-Divine Order of the Royal Arms of the Great Eleven aka i-Blackburn Cult.

Konke kwaqala ngo-1922 lapho okuthiwa u-clairvoyant uMay Otis Blackburn nendodakazi yakhe, uRuth Rizzio, bethola imiyalezo evela ezingelosini uMichael noGabriel zibayala ukuba “bavale iminyango yabo emhlabeni” futhi babhale incwadi ekhuluma ngomuzwa wesithupha ebizwa ngokuthi. UPhawu lwesiThupha. Ngaphezu kwalokho, uGabriel wathembisa ukubembulela “izilinganiso ezilahlekile” ezazizoveza indawo yawo wonke amadiphozi kawoyela negolide emhlabeni.

Kwakuyilesi sambulo sesibili esaqinisekisa u-Clifford Dabney osemusha ukuthi anikeze abesifazane u-$40,000 kanye namahektha angu-164 omhlaba abangakha kuwo umphakathi. Okwakufanele bakwenze kwakuwukwabelana ngezilinganiso ezilahlekile lapho benikezwa.

Njengoba izwe elalibanikeza lona ngasese, ngokushesha baqala ukwenza amasiko axakayo lapho babehlabela khona izilwane phambi kwenani elikhulayo labalandeli babo enkundleni yemidlalo yeshashalazi enkulu. Nabo, ngesinye isikhathi, babhaka omunye wabalandeli babo kuhhavini ukuze bamsuse ezifweni. Washona ngemva kwezinsuku ezimbili.

Amalungu ehlelo azosebenza embonini yendawo yokupakisha utamatisi futhi zonke izinsuku zokuhola, amasheke awo ayezoqoqwa umyeni kaBlackburns oneminyaka engu-60 oneminyaka engu-24 ubudala, uWard. Kuthiwa wayebukeka ngendlela esabekayo enamadevu awugqinsi alengayo futhi kubikwa ukuthi wayenezinzipho ezinhlanu!

Lapho kushona indodakazi eneminyaka engu-16 yamalungu ehlelo, uBlackburn washo ukuthi uzophinde azalwe ekupheleni kwezinsuku eziyi-1260 futhi kungaleso sikhathi lapho incwadi yayizoqedwa khona. Ezinyangeni eziyishumi nane kamuva, intombazane, igama layo kwakunguWilla yayisashonile futhi isidumbu sayo satholwa ebhokisini lensimbi ngaphansi komuzi wabazali bayo.

Ibhokisi lesibili lalihlezi eduze nelikaWilla. Kuyo kwakukhona izinsalela zemidlwane engu-7 efile, eyodwa yethoni ngayinye yecilongo likaGabriel ngokusho kukaBlackburn.

Ekugcineni uMay Otis noRuth baquliswa icala. Ngokumangalisayo, iNkantolo Ephakeme yakhipha isinqumo sokuthi bakhululekile ukuqhuba inkolo yabo futhi babengenakubekwa icala ngemali eyayinikezwa ngokwenkolo.

Ngokushesha ngemva kokuphela kwecala, i-The Divine Order of the Royal Arms of the Great Eleven kanye namalungu ayo banyamalala. Abaphindanga bazwakala.

Izingane ZikaNkulunkulu

Ithi Children of God isihambe ngamagama amaningi selokhu yasungulwa ngo-1968 ngumsunguli uDavid Berg owaziwa ngelika “Moses David” owaziwa ngelika “The Last Endtime Prophet,” kanti selokhu yaqala ingxabano cishe kusukela ngosuku lokuqala.

Ngo-1973, uBerg wasebenzisa inqubomgomo ebizwa ngokuthi “ukudoba ngothando” lapho akhuthaza amalungu esifazane ehlelo ukuba alale namadoda ayecabanga ukujoyina ukuze awayengele emhlambini. Eqinisweni, uBerg waqhosha ngesinye isikhathi ngokuthi amalungu angu-100,000 XNUMX alethwe esibayeni ngenxa yokudoba ngothando noBerg ebiza abesifazane ababehlanganyela kulo mkhuba ngokuthi “Izifebe ZikaNkulunkulu.”

Lo mkhuba nokho uholele ekutheni kuhwebe ngomzimba kanti leli hlelo lagxekwa kakhulu nezinyathelo zomthetho ngalo.

Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi inani labantu baleli hlelo lakhula futhi ngamasu ahlukahlukene emishini, ngokushesha bazithola sebenamakoloni noma “amakhaya” emhlabeni wonke.

Ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yama-80, leli hlelo laphinde lashuba njengoba kwatholakala ukuthi abaningi base befake umgomo wokulala nezingane eziqala zineminyaka engu-12. Lo mkhuba kuthiwa wawusuneminyaka uqhubeka kodwa abaholi bathumela “incwadi esemthethweni” ukugxeka ukuziphatha futhi ukwenze kube yicala elingenakuthethelelwa.

Amahemuhemu mayelana nokuthi umkhuba omubi awuzange uphele, nokho, futhi encwadini yesikhumbuzo yakamuva kaRose McGowan, wabhala mayelana nesikhathi sakhe sokukhuliswa kwehlelo kanye nolwazi lwakhe lapho. Ngemuva kwale ncwadi, amanye amalungu angaphambili aphumele obala ukuze aqinisekise akubhalile, futhi izindaba zabo zokuhlukunyezwa ngokomzimba nangokocansi ziyamangaza ukusho okuncane.

Ukwehla kwezinga lokuhlukunyezwa kweminyaka kube kukhulu okuhlanganisa nelokubulala elenziwa ngenye yezingane zabasunguli baleli qembu. U-Ricky Rodriguez waheha omunye wababemhlukumeza emzini wakhe lapho amgwaza washona khona wabe esezidubula ekhanda.

Amanye amagama adumile ahlotshaniswa neqembu. UJeremy Spencer, ilungu elisungule leFleetwood Mac empeleni walishiya iqembu ukuze ajoyine ihlelo. U-River no-Joaquin Phoenix babengamalungu njengezingane, nakuba abazali babo balishiya iqembu ngenxa yeminye yemikhuba yalo.

Noma kunjalo, iyasinda…ngandlela thize.

Okwamanje eyaziwa ngokuthi The Family International, Abantwana BakaNkulunkulu abakaze bahambe. Bamane bazivumelanisa nezikhathi ezintsha.
