The Iglesia Ni Cristo(INC) has all the basic elements of a cult. Exclusivity, deception, manipulation, control, and constraint 1. Total control of the church, its members, and its businesses are kept within the Manalo Family. After Felix Manalo died, his son, Irano Manalo took over. He was then succeeded by the grandson, Eduardo Manalo. They are like Kim Il Sung, Kim Jong Il, and Kim Jong Un of North Korea. 2. They are taught that the only path to salvation is through their church and those people outside iglesia ni cristo will be burned in hell (Yes, all billions of human beings are going to burn in hell. 99% of heaven will be Filipinos). 3. They promote extreme bigotry against other religions specially the Catholic Church. All members are completely anti-Catholic. 4. Members are not allowed to read the bible and think for themselves. They are taught that the official interpretation of the Scriptures comes from the Central Administration of INC only. 5. Members are not allowed to join labor unions. 6. They are not allowed to file cases in court against fellow members. 7. They are not allowed to marry non-members. 8. They are pushed to vote only for politicians endorsed by their leaders. (INC wields political clout through block voting) 9. They are taught to believe that iglesia ni cristo was prophesied in the bible (in spite of the fact that this prophesy is a strung-up story of different verses taken from different books of the bible. Add to that, different versions, with some not recognized as authoritative like the Lamsa bible). ---PAT
