WHY PROPHET OWOUR'S CHURCH MATCHES THE DEFINITION OF A CULT.

I promised myself  that I'm going to revisit my old time favorite book by Michael Shermer -Why People believe in weird things,I must say that I have a strong conviction that it is not only clear that Objectivism was (and is) a type of cult— but we have other unlikely cults when looking at it broadly with Christianity  in the picture. 

With his concise explanation of  the Unlikeliest Cult, it is actually through  Ayn Rand's  philosophical  believes which showed that  it was  absolutism that  was the biggest flaw in  her Objectivism and therefore the cult is  formed from that believe. 

With this in mind ,I have personality related the events that have married the Prophet Owour Crusades and come to believe that there is  latent cult in Christianity.

Allow me  to support my argument by illustrating the few characteristics  of  a cult as argued by the author and  you will be able to relate them   to  Prophet Owour ,Kanyari et al  Followers. 

Michael Sherman says that a  cult is characterized by;

Veneration of the leader: Glorification of the leader to the point of virtual sainthood or divinity.

Inerrancy of the leader: Belief that the leader cannot be wrong. 

Omniscience of the leader: Acceptance of the leader's beliefs and pronouncements on all subjects, from the philosophical to the trivial.

Persuasive techniques: Methods, from benign to coercive, used to recruit new followers and reinforce current beliefs. 

Hidden agendas: The true nature of the group's beliefs and plans is obscured from or not fully disclosed to potential recruits and the general public. 

Deceit: Recruits and followers are not told everything they should know about the leader and the group's inner circle, and particularly disconcerting flaws or potentially embarrassing events or circumstances are covered up.

Financial and/or sexual exploitation: Recruits and followers are persuaded to invest money and other assets in the group, and the leader may develop sexual relations with one or more of the followers.

Absolute truth: Belief that the leader and/or the group has discovered final knowledge on any number of subjects.

I know that every characteristic matches the prophets we have, they are called the MIGHTY PROPHETS OF THE LORD. 

It is interesting isn't it? I know that every characteristic matches the prophets we have, they are called the MIGHTY PROPHETS OF THE LORD ,PLANT A SEED ,they exploit their followers by even telling them to send money (310)we see them glorified  to the level of Jesus Christ, becomes they to mimic what the son of man did while he was on earth. 

It is this that I sometimes call the confusions of our times,the era when the sheep getting more and more lost into the den of the enemy because the foxes have devised techniques that completely confuses them.
