So now that you've been victimized and have tasted cultic life, you might be fired up and ready to do something about it. So, how do you get involved in preventing cults from practicing their immoralities?
The most obvious thing that comes to mind is once again education. Education is key to preventing and dismantling cults. At one time, perhaps a thousand years or so ago, cults and silly religions might have had their place, but we live in a decent and functioning society now, with no place for superstitious nonsense. The more education that persons receive, the less they will believe in superstitious teachings from cults like the 4th Watch. Promote education wherever you live. Don't be afraid to learn yourself and to teach others. You could even learn about cultic and superstitious activity and start a special school if necessary. And please, do your part in keeping such superstitious teachings out of public schools, such as creation over evolution.
Let your voice be heard! Express your opinions where and when appropriate. If you're part of some sort of gathering where Christians or cult members are talking about their beliefs, politely join in on the discussion and make your own views heard. If someone else starts attempting to impose their beliefs onto you, do not be afraid of them. Speak up and push back. If theists knock on your door in order to tell you about their lord and savior, stop them. Do not give them the chance and instead tell them how you feel about them coming to your place and trying to impose their meaningless beliefs on you. If there are persons trying to push anti-reason legislation, such as to teach Creationism in schools, go to any meetings and speak out! You see, there are things you can do.
Look in your area for any signs of cultic activities. If you know that a cult exists or is emerging in your area, you can help warn the public about them, such as by handing out flyers and spreading the news by word of mouth. Just make sure you tell the truth about what you know or hear, but please, make sure that you are not just giving them free positive publicity.
Join forces with other anti-cult organizations and do your part in helping the public avoid being victimized by cults. Go to schools or set up seminars in which you as a victim can tell your story to educate and warn others about the practices and dangers of cults. You can write articles and submit them to newspapers or online sites. And don't forget, you can even establish your own blog or master website where you can get the word out about cults to the whole world.
As far as getting involved concerning the 4th Watch, you can get involved in this project. If you were a victim, you can send us a testimony about your experience. You are also more than welcome to join our discussions on the billboard, or leave a message on our guestbook. You may also submit articles that you might have written in which case we might publish. And, if you ever hear about any interesting information concerning the 4th Watch, please tell us about it.
Again, there are things you can do. You might still feel victimized and you might feel powerless to do anything, but do not believe that. You are powerful and can make a difference. Again, you just need to take action! Remember, it is up to all of us to stop the evils and dangers of cults, and together, we will succeed.
