Streaming Audio tapes about Cults

Dr. J. L. Williams has an excellent 12-pack audio cassette series titled "Identifying and Dealing With the Cults". An accompanying study guide is also available from his web site. The book and audio tapes can be ordered by calling 1-888-PRAY NDI (772-9634). Visit their web site at http://www.newdirections.org for more information. Right now, these tapes and study guide are not listed on their web site, but they are still available by request. We encourage you to get a copy of these tapes and the corresponding study guide for your church, and to go through them with your children, especially those who are in high school or college.

We have obtained permission from Dr. Williams to audio stream all of these tapes on our web site. We wish to express our appreciation to him for allowing this, and hope that they will be a blessing to those who wonder if they're in a cult, or who may be trying to help someone get out of one.

While we have not heard evolutionism referred to as a cult before, we wonder if it isn't appropriate to do so. This tape series is from the early 1980's and does not address evolutionism. However, as you listen to these tapes, compare how other recognized cults operate against how the atheistic false religion of Evolutionism is force-fed to our children in the public schools, and how a wall of protection has been built around by the scientific community and the media to shield it from all criticism both scientific and religious. We think you will see some interesting similarities between the mind-control techniques used by cults and how evolutionism is force-fed to our children in the public schools. Keep in mind that we're talking about atheistic evolution the way it is presented in the public schools, devoid of any theistic content.
