No Group

The founding of Zen Buddhism is traditionally linked to a story about the “Flower Sermon” given by Gautama Buddha, in which the Buddha simply stared at a flower.

Feng Shui

Feng Shui has been the subject of much confusion, especially since it has become popular in recent years. Some see it as primarily a home decorating guide, others as a kind of New Age way of being at peace with one’s surroundings.

Islam

Muhammad was born about 570 AD into the Hashim clan of the Quraysh tribe in Mecca on the Arabian Peninsula in present-day Saudi Arabia. It is believed that his father, Abdullah, died before he was born and his mother, Amina, died when Muhammad was only six.

Adventism

The world was predicted to end in 1844 with the Second Coming of Christ, by William Miller, a New England Baptist itinerant preacher. Miller’s followers condemned all the churches of the day as apostate and “Babylon,” and warned Christians to come out of them. A great many did, and the “adventist” movement was born and grew rapidly.

Roman Catholicism

Most Protestants do not classify the Roman Catholic Church (RCC) as a “cult.” Martin Luther, the catalyst of the Protestant Reformation, initially viewed the RCC as the true expression of Christianity which had been corrupted by false doctrines and unbiblical practices over time.

Watchtower

In 1869, Charles Taze Russell, a former Presbyterian and Congregationalist, encountered a Second Adventist congregation near his clothing store in Allegheny, Pennsylvania. He later said regarding his early Adventist influences, “…though Adventism helped me to no single truth, it did help me greatly in the unlearning of errors, and thus prepared me for the Truth.”
