There's actually some subtler of cult tactics you can see here: they split you all up to isolate you, and they make you do work so you feel invested in the cult (because our brains think if we spend a lot of time on something it must've been worth it)

[@alexanderthegreat1270]

Good spotting, there’s also some other techniques like requesting they stay off their phones as much as possible so that you get absorbed in the cult without getting any outside information. Cults also make you call ahead before you arrive so they can team up and prepare for the insulation. There’s a lot of thought stopping and positive reinforcement going on here as well

Zhara is the perfect example of why, just knowing something is a cult doesn’t perfectly prepare you to not be indoctrinated. I feel like knowing the techniques they use is also super important. Also, if anyone’s wondering the technique they were using on them is called love bombing, they essentially act like the nicest people ever while making you feel like the most important person ever and once they are able to convince you to join, they start threatening to take that love away from you as a deterrent to not leave, and usually at that point, you’ve given up so much of your stuff and destroyed so many relationships of yours that you have nowhere else to go, but the cult. And yes, I know this all sounds really obvious but remember cults always target people who are going through rough times in their lives, or people who feel lost and want somewhere to belong.

as high-control group survivor, a PSA: *DO NOT attempt this yourselves!!* doesn't matter who you are, unless you are *intimately* familiar with high-control groups and are trained to combat dogmatic programming, you are at *serious* risk if you expose yourself to cult environments. I don't think anyone involved in the filming of this video knows how dangerous Zahra's situation is, even long after getting out. Zahra, if you're reading this, please take this seriously: unless you were playing it up for the camera, this experience was getting to your head, and if you aren't careful, you'll be more susceptible to all manner of dangerous rhetoric in the future. Do some research - listen to cult survivor stories, get familiar with the BITE model of authoritarian control, read books, watch videos, pick your favorite medium, doesn't matter, just go learn more about high-control groups and *why* it's extremely dangerous for you to think that they're nice.

Take a look for yourself and compare it. Common christian churches usually aren’t cults.

In Korea there are so many cults it's insane! The amount of times I've gotten stopped on the street by people who want to preach their religion to me is crazy! But one time, I let these two girls talk to me because they said they wanted to practice their English... We found out we had a lot in common and even started talking in Korean sign language which I was learning at the time! We made a group chat and hung out about once a month, where every time they'd practice a presentation for me in English and I would help them. I knew they were very religious but I still wanted to be friends with them, so I just pushed aside their 15 minutes of presentation and enjoyed the hours we spent together as friends. One day, we went out to lunch and then they asked me if I'd want to go with them to their church since it was nearby... I didn't know that they were in a cult, I thought they were just religious and wanted to practice English. I was naive and said sure, but then I couldn't get out for 3 hours. They forced me to keep watching these videos about "God the Mother" and kept trying to get me to go upstairs so I could get baptized. After 3 hours of convincing, I was able to leave after I said I'd come join them for their Sunday service that weekend. After I got on the bus, I texted my Korean boyfriend the name of the church and he IMMEDIATELY called me and scolded me. Apparently it's a very well known cult in Korea and there have been people who have gotten kidnapped and held for ransom. They especially prey on foreigners because we don't know any better and usually have no friends or family here which makes us extra vulnerable. It's easy to say that you'd never join a cult or be forced into it, but these people are very nice and have a way with their words. It still makes me sad to think about my two friends who are in that cult and who have given up everything to them. They live in apartments provided by the church and work for the church, their whole life is encompassed by this cult. The name is 하나님의교회 (Church of God) for anyone who's interested. Lots of people in this cult have also "sacrificed themselves". There's lot of documentaries online if you're interested!

​@@mrkill2020 plus, as a Christian, we don't force people to believe our religious beliefs. The difference from this cult is they try to brainwash you to join and believe. I find this video very creepy, uncomfortable and sad. A real Christian wouldn't do such manipulative things and it is against what our God tell us not to do to non-believers. They are completely doing the wrong and opposite thing what a Christian would do

A friend of mine grew up in the twelve tribes. He was severely beaten and it really messed him up. He escaped the moment he got old enough and ended up in another community that bordered on cult but was more traditional hippie commune. Another woman I knew had spent time in the twelve tribes as an adult and she told some crazy stories about their courting process (you have to get approval from the council, go on like 3 supervised dates, then decide if you’ll marry the person, something like that). She left and became a full on polyamorous hippie.

We were immediately approached, they made a tea for us, gave us delicious cookies, and also gave us some free stuff. As soon as they said they are believers I knew there was something super wrong, but we were polite and chatted with them. Honestly they were super nice and welcoming, we were invited for dinner to their community. I can definitely see how easy it is to fall into their trap.

[@captiancholera8459]

@@missPhos3 did I *say* they functioned the same? I’ll provide an example, Christianity was in the beginning regarded as a cult by the Roman’s and Jews, once the numbers of believers reached a certain threshold the Roman’s eventually recognized it as a religion and it remains as such today. You could have the most benevolent religious grouping you can think of, but they only have a few dozen followers and they would be by definition a cult, until or unless they grew substantially. Organized religions also differ from cults in terms of general behavior, depending on the type, Going to church every Sunday clearly isn’t the same as say a doomsday cult, but it is fairly similar to say a religious cult. But dude you’re on the internet, you never seen someone disrespect religion before? What I said was *less* than mild

After some time had pass I realized things were a little weird, I don't know what tipped me off but sudenly I began to think I was in the middle of a cult and the movie 'Get Out' came immediately to my head. The similar clothing and hair style, the over politeness, the comunal lifestyle, I don't know man it tripped me out. At some point there was even a small group of them sitting at a table talking quietly to eachother and taking notes, weeeeird shit.
