OCCULTISM, OPPRESSION
& BONDAGE
This booklet will help bring you into a basic knowledge of
occultism in its various forms, as well as providing some information
in regard to cults.
Many people view occultism as the practice of
Satanic rituals involving various types of sacrifices.
While this is
true, occultism also incorporates many other more subtle activities
which people ignorantly accept as general entertainment or harmless
experimentation with the supernatural.
Stated briefly, occultism is participation or involvement in
any way with astrology, fortune-telling, magic practices or
spiritism.
Some false religious cults are of an occult nature because
they include occult practices or teaching in their belief systems - but
others do not come under the general heading of occultism.

CULTS AND FALSE TEACHING
Background Reading: 2 John Chapter 1
The definition of a cult is as follows:
A system or community of religious worship and
ritual, especially one with rites centering around
sacred symbols.
This often involves fanatical beliefs
fixed around a person or thing.
From a Christian
1
perspective, any other system of religious, magical
or metaphysical beliefs is viewed as a cult.
We have compiled a list of some of the numerous cults which
deceive people into believing they are “the way.”
All of these cults
have one major thing in common, that being their denial of the deity
of Christ in one form or another.
Some of the most common cults are: Christian Science,
Spiritualism, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Armstrongism (the Worldwide
Church of God), Mormonism, Eastern Mysticism, The Way
