How Do I Help a Cult Member ? - The Dos and Don'ts


•DO try to keep in regular contact via mail or telephone even if there
is little response.


•DO express sincere love for the cult member at every available
opportunity.


•DO keep a diary of comments, attitudes and events associated with his/
her life in the cult.


•DO always welcome the cult member back into the family home no matter
what is said.


•DO keep copies of all written correspondence from you and the
individual.


•DO record all the names, addresses and phone numbers of people linked
with the cult.


•DO try to bite your tongue if the cult member makes unkind comments.


•DO read all of the recommended books relating to cults and mind
control, as well as reading other information on the cult in question.

counter-cult work. We care about you and your individual situation

•DO NOT rush into adopting a potential solution before carefully
researching the cult problem.


•DO NOT say:"You are in a cult; you are brainwashed".


•DO NOT give money to the member of the group.

•DO NOT antagonise any of the cult's leadership or members.

the group no matter how long the involvement has already been


•DO NOT neglect yourself or other family members.

Saying nothing would allow the scientology cult to get away with its
scam.
Ne rien dire permettrait à la secte de scientologie de continuer à
escroquer les gens en toute impunité.

1) Don't go with him anywhere, you could be kidnapped. (It's no fun,
believe me.)

2) Tell him to write up a confession and turn himself into police and
do time.
