From: CTMI – A Cult or Just Radical Christianity?

Just read the testimonies on our forum and see the similar patterns:

  • We were amazed and impressed at first with powerful charismatic leaders and much “love bombing”.
  • When we began to question any doctrine or strong controlling behavior, the relationship changed dramatically to harsh, unloving rebuke, isolation and vindictive action.
  • Separation in families – e.g. one mother had to go to court to secure her children and flee Mauritius. A Mauritius father had to go to court in an attempt to secure his children who had been removed to Zimbabwe after his wife died.
  • Blind obedience to leaders.
  • Strong, often repeated and manipulative demands for money.
  • Ends justifies the means. When deceit or other dubious activities were questioned, the reply was “It’s not lies its wisdom” or  "we do it for the gospel"
  • We have the only way – avoid other churches, books and bible schools
Distance from family and former friends
