Description of Group:
The group is a Bible-based, fundamentalist group
which was started in Prescott, Arizona approximately 30 years
ago. Wayman Mitchell, the original leader, broke away from a sheparding
group called Four Square and started his own church, which he
called "Potter's House". The men who come into the group,
mostly at a young age, are discipled to become pastors. They must
find a wife in order to be sent to other parts of the world to
start a church. They have a large conference twice a year on Cape
Cod, MA. Over 1000 people come to these conferences, which lasts
for five days, morning and night. Money is collected at each service
and, twice on the night, the new pastors are sent to different
parts of the world. All of the B.I.T.E. Mind Control methods are
being used in this group - Behavior Control, Information Control(no
television), Thought Control, and Emotional Control. Fear is what
keeps the people there.
The BITE Model Applied to Potter's House:
Behaviors:
Regulations - no personal time on leisure, entertainment,
or vacations
Major time commitment required.
Need for obedience and dependency.
Individualism discouraged; everyone thought the same on all
issues.

does not necessarily mean they are a destructive mind control cult.
