Eight Signs of an Aberrational Group

Also describing "fringe" groups is the New England Institute of Religious Research with Eight Signs of an Aberrational Christian or Bible-based Group:

  • Scripture twisting
  • Controlling leader or leadership
  • Separation or isolation of members
  • The chosen few (spiritual elitism)
  • Uniformity of lifestyle
  • No dissent
  • Traumatic departure
  • In transition (to a less healthy system)
