Can anybody tell me whether any of their family members or loved ones have become indoctrinated and detached because of this faith?

While I have no family members that have personally been involved with the Grail Movement, I can point you to some warning signs that your loved one may be associated with a destructive doomsday cult. First, not all gatherings of non-mainstream religions should be called cults. The term cult is presumes the religious group is somehow wrong and evil, usually for no reason other than it's different.

New Religious Movement is the preferred nomenclature. It seems that the Grail Movement seems to be a fairly high-demand religious movement; however, this alone does not make it a destructive cult as many evangelical Christian and Pentecostal groups would also fall under this heading. There are three main signs you should look for if determining your loved one's membership in the Grail Movement is not palatable.1.

Members are kept ignorant through severely restricting members' information from outside sources. 2. Thoughts, ideas, and emotions are strictly controlled by the leadership through long hours of prayer or study and convincing their members that anyone outside of the religion is dangerous.3.

Members' behavior is controlled via limiting access to friends and family and through publicly lambasting members for supposèd transgressions against the movement. If this is fairly accurate of your situation, I'm truly sorry. If the person who has found this religious movement is an adult, there is not a whole lot you can do to remove her from it.

Forcing him/her to leave against his/her will will only cement the belief that the outside world is evil. Logic and or traditional theology may seem to fall on deaf ears, but if you explain it calmly, then something may stick in the back of the mind and cause this person to leave at a later time. This is something the Anti-Cult Movement chooses to ignore.

With few exceptions, groups such as these have a very high turnover rate until they've been around several generations. I'm afraid you will simply have to wait it out and hope/pray that your loved one falls out of faith.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
