What happens to cult members 10 years after they join?
A number have left in disillusionment. Most are still in the cults. These days we hear people say that their sons and daughters (and sometimes mothers and fathers) have been in cults 10, 12 and 15 years. Q: Is “Jews for Jesus” a cult? A: Most Hebrew/Christian groups, like Jews for Jesus, do not fit the specific definitions of cults. However, many of them use cult-like tactics in their recruitment. Q: Are the Hebrew/Christian groups as big a problem as the cults? A: Both cults and missionary groups continue to grow at a rapid pace. Twenty years ago there were a few thousand members of a handful of cults and not more than a few thousand Jews in missionary groups. It is estimated that more than 20 million people have been involved in cults since the 70’s and as many as half a million Jews are now involved with missionary groups.
