2012 could be a cult and ATS could be a form of mind control.

Defenition of Cult:

•followers of an exclusive system of religious beliefs and practices
•fad: an interest followed with exaggerated zeal; "he always follows the latest fads"; "it was all the rage that season"
•followers of an unorthodox, extremist, or false religion or sect who often live outside of conventional society under the direction of a charismatic leader
•a religion or sect that is generally considered to be unorthodox, extremist, or false; "it was a satanic cult"

How mind control works

1.People are put in physical or emotionally distressing situations;
2.Their problems are reduced to one simple explanation, which is repeatedly emphasized;
3.They receive unconditional love, acceptance, and attention from a charismatic leader or group;
4.They get a new identity based on the group;
5.They are subject to entrapment (isolation from friends, relatives and the mainstream culture) and their access to information is severely controlled

2012 is a year and ats is an internet forum.Is this thread just a statement or is it a question?

No I don't think 2012 is a cult and I don't believe ATS is a form of mind control, although I don't believe in 2012 I don't think it's a cult.

or you can say hypothetically that 2012 can be a cult and ats can be a form of mind control.

if anything ATS is the cult and 2012 (or pick your unprovable conspiracy) is the mind control

2nd

2012 isn't a cult! No one is trying to set up big suicide days or anything that i know of? Hmmmm If anyone really wants to be a part of a cult though you could always come out and live on my farm and bring me all your gold and silver and money! Then I could set up some beatnick camping area and send everyone out to the field every day to pick weeds and forage for food!

on second thought......STAY off my land! (said in a clint eastwood voice)

Also no one at ATS is asking for your virgins.

CULTS usually prey on weak minded individuals anyways.....Last time I looked people come to ATS to become informed of world events and views of different people from around the world. That doesn't sound like weak minded people to me!

Damn, you caught us red-handed, you sly rascal you. Guess you're leaving now that you figured out our deep, dark secret?
