Well it starts different. When you start it begins with basic courses.
They teach you small things as a part of the indoctrination.
One of the first things they teach you is "how to study" which basically tells you that if you don't understand a word of a text you should CLEAR that word (find the meaning of that word on the dictionary) so that way you can understand thw whole true context of the text.
Another thing they do is to put you on something called TR's which is basically several exercises to get you in a trance like state, now one the reasons you get in this cult is to gain some sort of spiritual enlightment and knowledge and with this exercises you enter in a trance like state that will actually give you the impression or hallucinations of an out of body experience or an enlightenment moment, now imagine that you are getting this sort of experiences on the lower levels almost the very first day you get in the group.
If you are getting this results on the lower levels imagine what you could accomplish on the upper levels?
There is also a constant love bombardment from the members of the church.
So little by little the coercion gets a hold until you get to a estate that you are willing to do anything for your "spiritual freedom" including giving a lot of money to them and a lot of people invest their life on it.
And yes is criminal what they do.
Is just a scam.
