Forums - General - Have you ever been involved with a cult

Me, not so much, though some "friends" tried to recruit me to Opus Dei many years ago (they called it something like "joining a youth group for discussions" or something like that, it was only a few years later that I found out they were part of the Opus Dei).

I absolutely despise any cults, especially those which try to recruit people via underhanded tactics like the above - or much worse -, gradually taking over their lives. To me even things like the "boy scouts" sound too militaristic and group-think like.

Any interesting stories from you?

Nope.

I know several people that are but its not my place to tell their stories. Needless to day Cults aren't generally very healthy for a person.



Boy, have I ever. I only exist because my parents met in a cult. Some insensitive assholes even have the gall to call me a cultbaby.



No, I avoid all religious groups.



Nope, can't say I have, and I'm not a fan either.



Around the Network

Only been involved as far as to tell their requiters to fuck off.



Actually, I ran into a bunch of Wicca in the wood once. It was midnight (i was leaving a friends house and trying to go through the forest as a shortcut. forest is about a mile thick). Anyways, i come into this opening and there are a bunch of people in white robes. Now at first i thought this was some racist gang or something so i nearly shit myself from fear.

anyways i stumbled upon them and thought I was seriously going to be either gang attacked or shot. Well, they invited me into their camp fire and told me to sit down. I actually remember peeing myself a little because there were about 8 of them. Anyways, they all praised the Earth god and i did as well because i wasn't about to offend these wackos. Anyways, an hour later their meeting ended and i ran like hell out of there.

They called me a brother so i guess i was in a cult.



I've been to the Church of Scientology headquarters in New York several times.... wackos

No never, but I know a bunch of Opus Dei and Legionaries of Christ, here you could say they are kinda normal but have very conservative methods, makes most catholcs in my country think they are strange as hell.

There are a few on my university, good guys but avoid speaking religion or politics with them xD.



Well, I've been a Mac user for most of my life.
