Get an actual taste of a cult?

11 posts in this topic

Ok so today a woman approached me at the exit of a grocery store and started telling me that she can see something different in me, implying that I have a big chance of discovering the truth. She was talking about her backstory of how she was a Muslim and was seeking for answers, due to suffering and that Jesus visited her and saved her. We talked for a bit and then she invited me to visit their church. I got cultish vibes due to her use of reverse psychology, over-enthusiasm, certainty, persuasion, etc. 

Now I am thinking weather it is a good idea to go to the church, just for the sake of observation and picking people's brains and get a general picture of what is going on in cults/religious circles and how does it actually work (get an insider feel). 
Just a thought. Let me know what you think. Maybe it's stupid, dangerous and a waste of time.

@Thought Art no a Christian church. 
She transitioned from Islam to Christianity (that's what I understood)

Interesting. Did she mention any leaders? Is there a living teacher/guru?


Everyone is waiting for eternity but the Shaman asks: "how about today?"

Sounds like it could be interesting.  I grew up in that kind of environment, so it’d be pretty familiar to me, but for someone who did not grow up in that environment, it could be an experience.  You could just do it for shits and giggles.

Not something to fuck around with if they are culty. You might think you're above being drawn in.... but you would think that


Divest from the conceptual. Experience the actual.

If it's exciting for you to try, or attracts you to do then why not? If however you feel that it's not ethical or whatever to do, then perhaps don't.

Most people go in with the expectation that they would never fall for a cult. 

Then they love bomb you and you are in. 

Did she tell you the name of the church? If yes, you should research it.

If not, that's a red flag.
