Hey Former Cult Member Pandas, What Made You Figure Out You Were In A Cult?
. I saw this documentary on Netflix called keep sweet, pray, and obey. It was about the FLDS, a polygamist group. Amd then this dude named Warren Jeffs showed up and made things a lot worse. As if the 14 yo marrying grown men wasn't enough. The women never got sex ed. This girl in a the documentary said "He started doing these things to me and I was uncomfortable and scared." Btw, as the girls were marrying older men, the young boys got kicked out. Lots of young boys. On the streets. Just because this 80 yo dude wanted his 78th wife. Eventually, Warren is serving life in prison for rape as an accomplice and just full on raping A 12 YEAR OLD GIRL. Sadly, the FLDS still exists today and lots of people are in it. Warren is controlling the religion from behind bars. I recond you go ahead on watch it. It's on Netflix for a limted amount of time, it might not be there anymore. Just find it. I find it depressing that these things had happened, amd still are today. Keep Sweet, Pray, and Obey.Show All 29 Upvotes

Not me, but my *relative* (won't say who) joined a series of cults. First he got into psychopharmaceuticals - Benzodiazepines. He became addicted. After that he got into mushrooms. And thought the illusions/delusions he was seeing was some deep truth or something. He weaned himself off the benzos because they made him allegedly paranoid. He then got into a cult through his shroom dealer. They insisted on all white clothing and absolute obedience of the 'master'. He was introduced by a woman. I never got out of him whether there was a physical relationship there. Anyway he realised after a few months what was going on, but stayed on and then digressed into a version of christianity that was preaching end of world stuff. Fortunately also didnt stay long there. His paranoia led him into conspiracy theories and he's now trapped in that, spewing out stuff about the usual suspects: "banksters", "illuminati", "jews", "one world order", etc etc. He then went on an anti-drug fanaticism thing, bullied his dad and friends till they stopped speaking to him. I've excommunicated him too. This is what cults do, they make you insufferable so your family and friends abandon you. You are then forced to go to the cult for human connection. Be that cult in person or the online conspiracy nut community. It's really bad. He's gone forever, as far as I can tell. It's been years now.Hey Former Cult Member Pandas, What Made You Figure Out You Were In A Cult?
I saw a YouTube documentary on a Christian weight loss cult and I was like "oh, I remember this from Sunday school!" We moved to a different country when I was 9 (My dad had gone to college and I think wanted to get away from the church) and as a kid I never took religion seriously, but I definitely remember the tapes about how God was going to punish us for sinning and we had to keep our temples looking perfect and all that. It's a weird thing to realize 25 years later that I was in a cult, but not very surprising as I already knew the religion I was born into espoused pretty old-school beliefs.Hey Former Cult Member Pandas, What Made You Figure Out You Were In A Cult?
I once knew an American lady, she told how she left one cult, after being stuck for years. Then 6 months after leaving, she joined ANOTHER cult. Took her years to escape that one as well. She ended up being a devotee/groupie to Pastor John Hagee, a lesser known televangelist. Some people do not like independent thought. ساغر • is following 7 people
