In a last-ditch attempt to undermine Belzebuub’s credibility, the MovementsofGnostics (MOG) campaigners have tried to claim that statements made on this site regarding the sale of a property are fictitious, citing government records which supposedly authenticate their false claims. As the MOG campaigners were not privy to the sale of the property, they are reliant on records that have not yet been updated to reflect its sale – which most certainly took place – some time before they even became … Continue reading

Read: (Part 1), (Part 2), (Part 3), (Part 4) Conclusion In the internet age, with the proliferation of information, and a world dominated by mass media, it is becoming increasingly important to seek out objective information: while it’s not always easy to find, throughout history those who have sought to persecute others for their own ends have tended to be marked by hatred and acts of violence, malice, and the violation of human rights—whatever their proclaimed altruistic cause may be. … Continue reading
Persecute: to pursue with harassing or oppressive treatment, esp. because of religion, race, or beliefs; harass persistently. Spiritual teacher Belzebuub and The Gnostic Movement have been persecuted generally over a period of years particularly by other Gnostic groups or adherents to those groups, who hold different opinions or interpretations on matters of Gnostic doctrine. Most recently however, they have faced much more severe persecution carried out either alongside, incited by, or as part of a dedicated smear campaign. The Current … Continue reading
“Religious minorities have often complained of discrimination in Greece, a European Union and NATO member-State, whose Orthodox church claims the loyalty of 97 percent of the inhabitants and which the State constitution recognizes as the country’s ‘dominant religion’.” (source). In Cyprus, Orthodoxy claims an 80 percent following. Greece and Cyprus are two of the most Orthodox countries in the world. Both the Church of Cyprus and the Greek Orthodox Church belong to the larger umbrella of the Eastern Orthodox Church … Continue reading

However such criteria are not widely accepted or supported by academics in the field. “CESNUR notices that, when scholars are ignored or regarded as less reliable than anti-cult activists, serious mistakes are made. The French and/or … Continue reading
Read: (Part 1), (Part 2) The Formula for Condemnation Academics have studied the “atrocity story”—the testimony related by a former “cult” member (also known as an “apostate”), telling of their experience in their former group typically in the form of an expose—and have discovered they follow an identifiable pattern. Stuart A. Wright, an American sociologist, author, and Assistant Dean of Graduate Studies and Research at Lamar University, asserts that the apostate narrative follows a predictable pattern, in which the apostate … Continue reading
(Read Part 1) The Academic View of “Cults” Soon after in the 1980s, those who occupy a more objective position in what is fraught with ulterior motives—most scholars and sociologists of religion – responded by rejecting the use of the word “cult.” And like organizations, such as the Center for Studies on New Religions (CESNUR), instead use the term “new religious movement” or NRM—which tellingly, although generally preferred in academia, has not gained popular use in the media. They argue … Continue reading
As long as human beings of all cultures and nations have sought to understand the deeper meaning of their lives through spirituality, so too have people been persecuted for their spiritual beliefs and practices. Just as it is in human nature to seek out some form of higher connection with “God”, so too is it within human nature to bring others down with hatred—often even in the name of “God”. A lot has already been written about the historical persecution … Continue reading
