For some time now, we are living in a generation where Unstable Religions and Cults abound. Sad to say, some of these are Christian Cults. If you are seeking to find a religion in which to frame your thoughts about God and mix with other people, it is advisable to be aware of these things.Â
Letting you know what you’re getting yourself into before you’re sold on unstable doctrines and bought into the deception and confusion that’s in them. Especially when children are involved. Many people are damaged by religious upbringing in certain cults and are into New-Age, Atheism or just plain allergic to the mention of God and anything to do with Him, whether true or not. I have personally known and met some of these people.
These are the 15 Religions/Cults I would be the most wary of if I wished to protect my family interests – especially children – and I did not want to become unstable or mentally messed up. In the Christian Bible, our Creator says that “He is not a God of confusion but a God of Peace” yet some people even use the Bible to form Christian Cults. It gets confusing I know and even the Bible itself predicted that kind of thing would occur – especially in this Day and Age.

You are probably wondering why I’ve included the first four?
Because Adventism is so Strict to Extremes with Kids – especially on Fridays towards the evening and Saturdays, it is damaging to them. It is not uncommon to have school homework books pushed off a desk or being abruptly addressed by their parents before the “Sabbath” starts. Hence, girls I knew in that religion did not believe in God anymore when they grew up. They also went de-facto and separated early in life. Things could have been different for them.
Please be aware, Pentecostal does have a Stable Element but overall Mostly Unstable. Some believers in that Movement are stable old fashioned Bible believers who stay very close to their Bibles but most are led by their feelings – basically anything goes! Many of their Preachers teach highly QUESTIONABLE THINGS and Charismatic Personalities are believed in BLIND TRUST. Also, most Pentecostal Preachers have forsaken and changed the TRUE GOSPEL MESSAGE Jesus and the Apostles Preached into a SOCIAL GOSPEL presenting Jesus as a SANTA-CHRIST which is basically a Sure Recipe for Disillusion later when you don’t get everything you want!
It comes as a surprise to many people to hear Catholicism is actually a Cult – even some people who have recognized it for what it is and left it are teaching BIBLE TRUTHS now and saying how they were encouraged to place more faith in Mary than on Christ, even concerning the hour of death. They place Mary on an Equal Footing with Christ in different respects (believing she came from Immaculate conception.) My Aunty and Cousins did that since I was young. Through the centuries, the Catholic Church has introduced Unstable Heresies their congregations must believe to be true, even if they conflict with the Bible.
Buddhism “why would you say such a thing about their faith? They have nice sayings – a good philosophy on life” you say to me. Because to follow that religion, you are expected to practice Self-Denial to Extremes which is not healthy for you emotionally. In order to attain a sense of restfulness people often speak about in relation to Buddhists, you have to follow a Very Strict Practice that can cause some people more stress than peace. That is the side of Buddhist Practice the majority of us don’t see. The Presence of Jesus imparts TRUE PEACE…….. we don’t have to get ourselves into a certain mental state to ‘achieve’…….. it’s sweet and simple (heart to heart)
You may have seen Brethren believers out on street corners, bible bashing people and heaping condemnation on them in the name of God, when Jesus came to Preach Good News (which means glad tidings, not dishing out things you would not like said to you that you would find offensive). Sad to say, every Brethren person I’ve seen has a long face – nothing to rejoice about because there is a form of domination and mind control that separates them from everyone else throughout life. Even when you leave this Earth, they take ownership of your finances, sometimes years beforehand. Also, you are not aloud to see Friends OR Family outside their Sect. I could say more.
Christadelphians like to segregate themselves from ALL other Christians too – they think of them as Apostates – imagine? because we don’t subscribe to their code of beliefs. They claim their beliefs are based wholly on the Bible yet they reject the view that people need strength, guidance and power from the Holy Spirit to live the Christian life, and to rely on bible reading only suffices. They deny the Deity and Preexistence of Christ and the Immortality of Souls. They believe following the judgement after Christ’s Second Coming , the accepted (Christadelphians) receive the gift of immortality, and live with Christ on a restored Earth, helping Him establish the Kingdom of God and ruling over the mortal population for a thousand years, and that the Kingdom of God will be centered upon Israel. Is God finished with you after that:) They don’t believe there’s any Devil but that evil originates with man. It is also believed that God creates Good and Evil. That dear Friends is a form of Slander!
It is somewhat shocking to find out Jehovah’s Witness is actually an oppressive religion as revealed by many people who have left it. They are literally shunned by everyone who knew them including family members who remain in the religion (you belong to the organization more than to God there, in reality). They are taught to believe that EVERY person who is not a JW is an Apostate (yes even you, and their own family members) everyone is Evil except for JWs. Understandably, many members are afflicted with mental illness because such teachings are so heavy – and scary for kids. The Elders won’t even let them seek out professional help – so tight is the mind control that goes on there. Yes, they do interfere with your decisions.
Mormons (they dare to call themselves The Church of Jesus Christ Latter Day Saints) is a very fanciful religion built mostly on fables and a dangerous one because they impose a form of mind control over the people too. Many of their people are leaving their numbers after discovering certain leaders of their religion have lied to them (discrepancies have been found that expose them) they feel betrayed and can’t “live a lie” any longer. They are shunned also in like manner to JWs. Very rigid standards have to be kept by them which are quite crippling – they’re not allowed to express themselves or have their own interests, there is such domination. “It takes a long time to heal from emotional damage after leaving” and many of them also say that discovering the Real JESUS and His Love for them helps a lot. Did you know it’s referenced somewhere in the writings of Joseph Smith (their Founder) that he did many more Great Works than JESUS. How Outrageous!
I think most people realise that Muslim (Islamic) religion is not healthy. They serve a spiteful and vengeful God, they are never really at ease with – they don’t dare displease Allah because they won’t get into Heaven if they do and they live their entire lives without ANY Assurance they will go to Heaven, it is strictly forbidden, never allowed. Yet they are allowed to tell 4 types of lies (that is established in 10-12 verses in the Quran). You can check those out on the Internet. They are told in their Quran that “Allah is the best of Schemers” (3:54; 7:99; 8:30). Many nice Muslim people crave for Peace, Joy and the Love of God and many are leaving Islam when finding the real JESUS in recent years. They make the most beautiful committed Christians!
Branham (Message Believers) follow a false prophet WMB who was a very unstable man whose family had affiliations with people in Cults. Yet amazing as it seems, he wanted to “get the Church back on track” when he met an Astrologist who said he was called by God. He actually managed to cause a lot of division in the body of Christ. I know several people whose kids have been damaged by that movement. They can’t recognize why, they so blindly believe everything “the prophet says”……..anything he said even had precedence over what the Bible said which has stood the test of time, he sought to change the Counsel of God. He was always directing people’s attention to himself instead of Christ. I have a niece who has been fragmented many years by that religion and her sister has gone Atheist, promoting Women’s Lib etc with school students.
If we engage in any of the Religious Cults listed here, we run the risk of being deluded. Those delusions are not to be underestimated and are hard to break – most times, only a personal encounter with Christ can bring about change once those doctrines have gained access to someone’s heart and soul. We really need to be careful what we are bringing our kids up with.
Our Creator is meant to be Enjoyed, not Endured. It is really unfair to inflict heavy stuff on them – if you are deluded, you don’t care because you can’t see what you’re doing (your mind is in hijacked mode, so to speak). It’s sad I know, that’s why I try to spare you from that on this website.
I Should Really Add A Few More To Be Careful Of
Christian Science are into a Past-Tense Healing – that illness Literally does not Exist and are therefore into Denying Reality to accommodate the Very Strict belief-system they adhere to. We had Friends of the Family who were in that religion when I was young. The Wife came down with the nasty condition of Atherosclerosis for for a long time. They would not seek Medical or Natural Help and she died with that Condition (she did not have) True Christians should take Note here that the Writings of EW Kenyon are partly taken from Christian Science, and that Kenneth Hagin plagiarized most of his work and the more well known Televangelists Kenneth Copeland and Creflo Dollar are Schooled in his Teachings!
Church Of Scientology has been described as one of the worse religions because it has the “Most Destructive Mindset” according to people who have encountered it. They Lure you into it at first by offering to give you a Free Test to see what Work Etc you are Suited to; they offer you a Free Course, then Rope you into the Unimaginable. One person’s Experience with those Culprits is, she met them at the Airport, they Enticed her into it and in a short of time they had her doing Fulltime Work for them with No Wage. When she got Free from it and found some people who took her in, they actually tracked her down to take her back to the Isolation they had her in. This is Not Uncommon – they always try to get their Members back. When they found where she was and knocked on the door, they were greeted by someone who warned them to leave. They refused and wouldn’t budge until a guard-dog was set loose on them and literally had them on the Chase “for their lives” so to speak!
The Sikh Religion Is Steeped In Man-Made Traditions And Prohibitions. All the Sikh people follow Ascended Masters of their Faith referred to as Gurus in the place of God really. And many of them congregate in a room in their house with a Big Picture of their Leading Guru across their wall as they worship, just like some Catholics do with their Statutes of Christ and Mary. Whatever religion you are, God calls that Idolatry. Right? Also, I have known many Sikh people to speak with quite an abrupt manner when shopping, as well as Shop Attendants being disinterested in their Customers. One of them raised his voice at me once and accused me of “lying” when I gave him some Helpful Info as a Health Researcher. Yet when Sikhs are out with their Food Van “Giving Charity” to people, their behavior is very guarded (they’re on their best behavior) I dislike Hypocrisy, do you? Jesus most certainly did.
Raelians have an absolute nerve to refer to themselves as a Church too because they believe that Life on Earth—as well as many religions of the world—was the work of Extraterrestrial Influence. Very Impersonal. They believe these were Scientists and that Ancient People saw them as “gods” and gave them the name “Elohim” which is actually a Bible Name for God in the Original Hebrew Text. What Blasphemy! I knew a young businessman in that religion many years ago who placed a real importance on “supporting the Mardi Gras” in his City every year and did not want to miss it.
The Bahai Faith Teachings like to contribute to the advancement of civilization. They address such themes as the Oneness of God and Religion; the Oneness of Humanity; the Progressive Revelation of Religious Truth, the Integration of radically different Worship and Service; harmony between Religion and Science. A whole LOT of Opposites when you think about it: the likes of Papal Rome with Murderous Islam, Spiritual Beliefs with Science which so often is Opposed to Beliefs: the Education System which teaches Atheistic Myths; Etc. A bit similar to Christian Science with Idealistic Views of the World. One can become very mixed up really – confusing all those contrasted values – and miss out on the Real Thing, which to me, is a Close Relationship with your Maker, becoming Wiser rather than Naive, and Equip to handle Life’s Situations than you were before. I knew a dear precious Bahai Man a few years ago who was somewhat Naive and Confused when it came to the Real things of Life. He was a noble and devout person who lived in a fantasy world, and far too trusting.
One thing most of the above Religions have is Mind Domination which is extremely UNHEALTHY and Very Stressful to Keep Up With Expectations that are Placed On You (an absolute disrespect for your wishes). The Christian Bible says that God created us with a FREE WILL to Love Him and Live For Him. Anyone or Anywhere that disrespects this should be considered Boundary Violators. Remembering this could mean preserving your Sanity. Believe me, their Offenses are that serious once you get involved. My task on this page is to save you any Nasty Surprises later. Especially your Children.
Oh I forgot to let you know that JWs do Not allow you to use the Internet in case you think for yourself and find out the Truth about them. Also, having a Blood Transfusion is strictly denied (regardless of age.) I’m here today because my Life was literally Saved by a Transfusion. My Son would have absolutely No family Today if I left this Earth Years ago. Only a Delusion would make you follow such counsel!
For your protection, please keep in mind that people in Religious Cults are like Secondhand Car Dealers – when peddling their wares, they almost always put on their best smile, they tell you the good things and there’s always other things they don’t dare to tell you.
And just like Politics, most of the Religions above are very Party Orientated (everyone else are Outsiders mentality). Do you really want to take that on? There is so much Unhealthy Thinking that goes with it.
How they can think a Loving God, the Creator Of All Mankind approves of such practices is beyond me. There’s definitely A Delusion involved – each with their own brand – and it’s sad, it really is.
Dreamland Religions can be pretty dangerous when Living in a Real World as I have addressed in a separate sense in this Article because they mean well. But I’m not so lenient with the Sikh Religion because I’ve seen and experienced so much hypocrisy with their members. A History report HERE.Â
As you can see in this Article, I have known or interacted with People in quite a few of these Religions. Maybe that is a meant to be, hey?
My best advice: wish them a good day and don’t give them hearing space!

PS: You can see in this Article and the World around us that RELIGION (Collectively Speaking) can be considered a Devilish Thing because the Cults mentioned on this Page are only a percentage of those that exist in the Philippines, India and Eastern Countries. I have addressed those from Western Countries.
