As I read about the recent post regarding "community," foremost in my mind was how "community" somehow can mean "cult." I am not a cult member. Am a free person. I like the idea of community, but I'm not one of those people who defines myself as a member of a community. I keep thinking about "cults," and how the idea of community can apply to cults, harmful cults, people who brainwash their members into believing in ideas that isolate them from the rest of the communities around them. So, my question is: where does one draw the line when it comes to communities?
