Cult-watching group
|
|
A cult-watching group (CWG) consists of an organized or grass-roots assemblage of people who observe and comment on the largely marginal, often unpopular new religious movements (NRMs) and associated phenomena which people often label "cults". Barker's classifications Professor Eileen Barker divides cult-watching groups into five types: # cult-awareness groups (CAGs) # counter-cult groups (CCGs) # research-orientated groups (ROGs) # human-rights groups (HRGs) # cult-defender groups (CDGs) Barker uses a concept of "cult awareness" — more complex than the "anti-cult" category described above (see her article). |
