The Rosicrucian Order, AMORC is not a cult. It is a fraternal order of women and men who study mysticism (and many topics related to it) and apply what they learn to the common good of humanity.
Members are equally as free to join as they are to leave the Order. They are asked to keep private certain experiences, but the "secrets" they posess can be found by any scholar or dedicated lay person with basic research skills.
The primary membership is private, with study at home lessons loaned to members as part of their membership along with journals and magazines. Group participation is totally voluntary. The cost of membership is very modest and covers a fraction of the costs of running the membership service functions. The Rosicrucian Order operates as a non-for profit organisation, with any surplus in funds being put back into delivering member services.
The Order has published rules to prevent it evolving into any form of dangerous cult. People attending Rosicrucian Groups will find sincere seekers for a happier, healthier and more peaceful life; but from time to time people will meet strong personalities in AMORC groups, in this case officers are trained to respond with firm kindness to prevent perversion of the groups purpose, which is to help members learn Rosicrucian ideals and principles in a supportive group environment.
If members, ex-members or family members have concerns they should raise them with the local office of the Order in their own country. Media, Scholars or those wishing to know more may freely contact the Order, by locating the Rosicrucian Order, AMORC or equivalent name in your language online or in telephone directories.
