5.0 out of 5 stars "I was there", and Persinger is right, April 4, 2002
By 
J. Kellett (Oakland area, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Tm and Cult Mania (Hardcover)
I was involved with Transcendental Meditation for 13 years, including 11 years qualified as a TM teacher. Persinger is absolutely dead-on. "TM" is just trance and suggestion, which is applied unethically to implant very eccentric spiritual doctrines in unsuspecting recruits who happen to be susceptible to post-trance indoctrination. This is a psychological issue, not a spiritual doctrinal issue. See also "Combatting Cult Mind Control" by Steven Hassan.

5.0 out of 5 stars How it compares to Bible's "How to tell a cult" guidelines, October 22, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Tm and Cult Mania (Hardcover)
Use your own copy of the NIV Study Bible as I have. The list of quotes came from the Seventh Day Adventist Church on a long multi-colored, plastic-coated list, which I quote: (look them up in any bible to see what God says about cults).
John 8:32. Romans 6:23. 1 Corinthians 7:13,14. Psalm 146:3.
2 Thessalonians 2:10-12. Isaiah 45:22. John 14:6. and 12:35.
Mark 7:7. Joshua 24:15.

And decide for yourself what a cult is in God's eyes!
