Signs of a Doomsday Cult may involve any of the following: * Brainwashing * Fundamentalism * Isolationism * Ritualistic Abuse * Conspiracy * Intimidation * Terrorism * Kidnapping If not dealt with in time some Doomsday Cults will engage in murder (such as the Manson Family in real-life and The Order in fiction), terrorism (such as Aum Shinrikyo in real-life and Sapientes Gladio in fiction) or mass-suicide (such as the People's Temple in real-life and the Unity Fields cult in fiction) - often the leader of a Doomsday Cult becomes a dark messiah in their eyes and can persuade them to do almost anything. Only a small number of cults ever become serious enough to be considered Doomsday Cults in reality but nevertheless people must remain vigilant as a Doomsday Cult becomes stronger with time and thus it is important for authorities and communities alike to recognize the danger signs and act to prevent their spread: however in doing so one must always be mindful not to induce a Moral Panic - which simply causes what is known as a "Witch-Hunt".
