Matthew 23:15 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel land and sea to win one proselyte, and when he is won, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves".
Beware of groups of people who are dedicated more to "group-think" than they encourage everyone to be led by the Holy Spirit.
We are living in a culture that discourages individuals from analyzing things on their own. Christians analyze things according to the Bible principles but the world analyzes things according to how the rest of the culture thinks.
There are many cultures, some are of the world entirely and others have a "religious" bent that teaches false doctrine while dominating those in the group.
No one should allow another human being to dominate them. We make our own choices based on our dedicated belief, as Christians that will be based on Jesus Christ, not any man or any human system.
1 Corinthians 2:16
"16 For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he will instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ."
Those who follow their system instead of Christ their mindset will be mostly humanistic and logical according to man's wisdom and not God's.
2 Corinthians 2:13-15 "…13 And this is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words. 14 The natural man does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God. For they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 The spiritual man judges all things, but he himself is not subject to anyone’s judgment."
Let no man convince you of anything, let the Holy Spirit convince you of everything that is true.
