The first, well, anyone raising a concern is going to have that.

Numbers 2 and 3 (religious problem-solving, seekership) are right out.

Number 4 (turning point), okay.

Number 5 (formation of affective bonds)... I dunno, maaybe? I mean, you can't really blame a group for people liking it. I think this was meant way more strongly than we have here.

Number 6 Neutralization of external attachments? Absolutely not.

You didn't name the seventh, unless it's the deprivation, which again... no.

So, arguably 3 out of seven, of which 2 are so common as to be kind of silly, and one of those was a major stretch. Whee.
