To understand this article, it is good to have read this link first to learn what a Christian community actually is . Christian communities. Sects officially supported by the Catholic Church.
By principle, a person is a free being. Sometimes, however, they can lose their freedom very quickly. This is especially true for Christian communities. There is a very thin line between religion and a sect. If a person just goes to church, they go there more or less freely. However, if that person goes to a Christian community, their freedom is completely lost.
If a person enters a Christian community for the first time, they will be greeted with a kind and warm welcome. After all, a good bait must be prepared for the sacrifice, so that it gets caught in the trap. Friendly relationships can also easily arise. And when someone treats you very kindly, you are suddenly under great social pressure – if someone invites you in a kind and gentle tone to go to the sect a second time, it is difficult for you to refuse when the person is already treating you so kindly. And this is where the great betrayal lies.
I also know very talented leaders/preachers of Christian communities who have a perfect gift of communication and are very good actors – they know how to behave very nicely.
The person concerned feels quite comfortable in the Christian community and, over time, doesn't even know how they become completely reprogrammed. So-called born-again Christians are nothing more than people with totally brainwashed minds without a shred of common sense.
If a person becomes a member of a sect, they very easily and quickly adapt their behavior and thinking to the majority. After all, they won't stand out from the crowd. This is an element of a kind of mass psychosis and conformity. I highly recommend this film as it shows how easily a person can be manipulated. Notice all the situations where individuals have conformed to the majority, even in absurd nonsense. In a Christian community, there is an absence of any critical thinking; a person very quickly loses their individuality and adapts their way of thinking to the majority. And brainwashing with religious fanaticism happens very quickly.

And once a person enters the Christian community, they are practically unable to leave, because they have already completely lost their freedom. In this case, a person is very vulnerable and very fragile. The person in question may think of themselves as free, but in reality, this is not the case. It is very difficult for a person to become a black sheep, it is very difficult for them to stand out negatively from the crowd in front of the entire Christian community. It is very unpleasant to be a black sheep among friends, comrades, and acquaintances from the community, to be the one who betrayed, who gave up the "true" faith, and who is leaving us. The victims will rather deceive themselves and pretend that the humus of religious fanaticism tastes good to them, rather than become a black sheep.
The element of fear is also strong when leaving a sect. Notice in the video already mentioned how uncomfortable it was for the person concerned when they felt like a black sheep.
People have good intentions to seek God in the Christian community – that in itself is nice – but the harsh truth is that fanatical Christian communities have nothing to do with true spirituality – their only fruit is the sectarian brainwashing of their members. The path to "God" does not lead through the church.
