Do you think occult members and such like will commit mass suicide as 2012 approaches?

Probably, although I don't really think you could say "mass" suicides. Few people really believe 2012 will really be the end of the world.

I feel it is more likely, since they will be expecting the world to be ending on its own accord, that they will be in meditation groups and waiting for the world to die rather than bring the end to their selves.

There are those that like to jump the gun and regardless of whether they are part of a cult, or not, will use this moment of predicted catastrophe as a motivation to end their life.

I think there probably will be some suicides, not mass suicides.

When I say "mass" I mean entire cults killing themselves.

I don't think so. 2012 is more media hype and profiteering than anything else.
