We could probably gauge the severity of a cult by its intrusion into personal and family relationships, on a 1-10 scale.
I tried thinking about that for about a second, and immediately became lost as to what a "low-level" intrusion might be, a "level one."
No such thing, or too black and white to say, "Screw with my family, you screw with me."
And from never-never land comes the question, if I had to choose, life or death, would I rather another man screw with my wife's mind or her body?
And to violate all taboo, what about my kids? A: No wonder we cling to taboo, places we cannot go without darkness, true evil, coming in.
Our laws do not protect the brains of our children, but go near their genitalia...
I'm a survivor of abuse, and know the long-lasting effects of both. Please forgive my "taboo" violations, but if kids' minds, even those of future wives, were reared in healthy ways, talking openly to those wives would not be threatening to them. Their genitalia would belong to them, not a cult.
From birth. Born In the Cult.
There are other corporations that mess with families, and they are all cults. I'm growing a dislike for the "cult-lite" term and thinking, because to brainwash, to control, is damaging. There is no such thing as a "low-level threat" to separate one from one's family, driving walls between open lines of communication, forcing families, spouses, to dodge emotional IEDs, inhibiting natural growth between people.
To avoid those threats, there is compliance for those whom no longer wish to comply. There is "spouse-lite," but never "cult-lite."
Sorry for the twisty path on this one.
