At some point it's true and everyone who has done their personality development knows that this is what it feels like. To become something or someone new, the old you has to "die". Everyone, like me, that has been in a burnout knows that. Once you become aware of your of bad habits, you renew. But you have to arrive at the bottom first for this to happen. I am not in a cult nor religion and i despise both deeply. It's just psychology

I am free from a cult, and I hate it. I want to go back, I can’t bring myself to do it. I’d like to go back and have a family that loves me, and will always have your side and always be on your side. It’s almost like home, being outside of a cult is very scary when I think about it more and more. I’m too independent and I have nothing to rely on, I’m alone in a way, and I’m still surrounded by people. It’s an awful feeling

[@CalebSalstrom]

I think that is a symptom of our modern world. We all crave our natural state of small community from our nomadic evolutionary period that dominated the majority of homo-sapiens existence. Social media does not replace socialization, and our brains require social presence and positive social support networks. I see evidence of this in the massive increase in fringe extremist groups/mindsets. Of course, this has been influenced greatly by malicious groups... Still, I think so many are willing to join these movements because they are also lonely and scared. This state of existence we have designed around ourselves is completely at odds with our very being. I think we urgently need to reduce our community sizes and increase our investment into empathy and understanding of our species' connection to the world around us. Unfortunately that is against many powerful group's best interests. What a bizarre state of liminality we reside in currently. I wish you the best in finding peace, love, and community.

My uncle is a cult leader before, we started as a Bible Study Teacher on the street in their own interpretation in the Bible, because he is a former SDA Pastor and also a former Pentecostal Church Pastor. So he started teaching on street while me as a kid 8yrs old, I am asking for donations to the people on the street, then when he saved a money from the donation he start rented a small space to became a church and he build a temporary doctrines because he is not registered on securities and exchange commission as a church. After that we started recruiting a members, he started to a Bible Study Group, until the doctrines will completed perfectly as a fundamentals interpretation 😂 When our church is having a 50 active members and a church was earning 50,000 to 100,000pesos a month my uncle desided to registered her church from bible study group into a religion. Then when we are already a Christian Religion he started to Claimed that he is a Prophet and also Jesus Spirit is came to him into the day of church Sunday 😂 when my uncle already claimed that boom from 50 active members into 200 to 1,000 active members of the church and we continue to recruit. Until we buy own lot to build an own space for the church, until we grow and grow my uncle started to hired a pastor to another branch church 😂 I remember that day I am already 15years old, my uncle forcing her own daughter to preach while her daughter wearing an office attire with mini skirt 😂😂 just to attract and a members was attending always in sunday lol 😂 The only wrong move of my uncle is he claimed that the end of the world is 2012 he use that 2012 to force a member to recruit fastly because he said without our church they didn't saved, and all member into our church is only will saved that is a strategy to grow fast. In year 2010 our members is already 700,000 members lol 😂 and we have many churches that already owned space and property of the church. Then 2012 my uncle said was didn't gonna happen 2012 was not end of the world so the members will fall down from 700,000 member to 150,000pesos lol. Then my uncle continue to claimed he claimed that he is Jesus he is immortal 😂😂 that claimed is desperately to attract more members and earning much more money, And 2018 my uncle died we try to hide that into all members specialy her daughter named Christine she said to me do not tell to any church member except to what he choose to tell, because she know if the members know that my uncle died even he claimed that he is immortal, the members will falling down again, and that gona happen. From 180,000 member fall down to 90,000 members until that 90,000 members will seperated into 5 religion because our pastors of our church robbing the members and build another indipendent Church that not belongs in our function. And now our church is gone and disbanded by my cousin because of lack of members that attending church every Sunday.

I been in a few churches like what is being described in the video! The best religious groups encourage individual self reflection and making choices for yourself. The most cultish religious groups I been to always encouraged following their teachings no matter how many personal sacrifices you needed to make to conform. In short..... Healthy religion: gives you tools to help you develop in your spiritual lives. Cult: gives you the tools so that you can sacrifice your self for the group.

I was Mormon my whole life. My family lineage goes all the way back to New York where Joseph smith founded the religion and my ancestors were some of the very first members of the church even being baptized by Joseph’s brother (hyrum smith) and because of that, even considering the idea of leaving the religion never was a possibility. It’s the only life and meaning to existence I’ve ever known and understood and 80% of my friends I’ve ever known have been in the same church.. but I left 3 years ago and it breaks my heart to watch my siblings and family members and friends all believe what I once did. It’s sickening. I’m struggling to answer the question: so I dedicate myself to show them the lies and tell them the truth or do I support their beliefs and ask that they respect mine and just let them stay in the church because they are happy and it does do a lot of good things? You have to understand that even though I started to have many doubts, it took me 2 years from the time I stopped practicing to the time that I was ready to start finding answers knowing that it might not all be true. And even though I thought I was ready to handle the fact that I might’ve been living a lie my whole life, I was completely wrecked for months once I actually found out the truth about the church… I was devastated. Since it was all fake, then what else is and what can I trust is true with anything in life I thought was the truth? I made me question my sanity and reality. I’m great now though. I love where I am!

This makes me disgusted. Because there are so many churches that are like this. Even though it’s very subtle, religions and cults are different.

I’ve been in contact with a friend who’s still in the church who is uncomfortable around me because I’m nonbinary and an ex-Morman. She keeps talking about wanting a nice husband. I could talk about this for a while and I know this comment is gonna make people mad but- I’ve just had bad experiences with the church, it caused me self doubt and major self esteem issues. I felt like because I wasn’t a girl living up to thier standard of “an obedient daughter, wife, and mother.” That I wasn’t good enough and no one would love me.

How to push an agenda by delegating the opposing Factor(s): *Step 1:* Use hidden but blatant hypocrisy *Step 2:* Tickle the fancy of people's hearts towards that "Factor" by speaking in general and stating the obvious. -Doing so well achieve a "in general" response and will make you seem wise in the eyes of the listener. * *In order words:* * *If it applies for 1 it will apply* *for 2 as well* * *They won't bother to question* * *Tell them what they want to hear* * *The blind following the blind*

Great film. Short sweet and potent.

[@agoodwasteoftime]

this seriously should be shown in schools. How many people could be saved from falling into cults having seen something like this beforehand? Kinda scary to think about.

[@upasanaguntupalli]

why was this so therapeutic and calming to watch?

[@ninicoh]

The way it fits religion is crazy.

[@SUPERRBENSONN]

This sounds like schools. Work sites. The government. The army. The hospitals. The world oh my bad did I think out loud? Even some our parents sound like this don’t they?? Programs

[@lallyk3945]

This is how it's done. And it works on people again and again. Great film!

[@Havardr_Ash_Kenaz]

Everyone who has seen this video should watch it again and compare each of the criteria with aspects of economies, societies, media and especially governments. The most successful types of cults are governments.

[@Raymund38TVM]

That is almost the same bro politics is also a cult, because of their propaganda and political dynasty bloodline, also some politicians is building their own group called diehard supporters or loyalist, that they used to the politics compaign and rally if they lost to elections some is build a terrorist group too. That is almostly same of religious cult, the only different between the politics cult and religious cult, the religious cult is not needed a campaign and you didn't need to be a popular to start a religious cult anyone can build a religious cult and anyone is fit to became a religious cult leader, but not anyone is fit to became a politics cult leader you need to spend a lot of money to that kind of cult, not like in religious cult all you need is to create a doctrines in specific books like bible and claimed, and started only small group like 3 to 5 members that helping you to spread your doctrines using flyers or social media flatform start giving some foods or resources in the beginning like some rice targeting a not educated people or poor people then you can use that people to grow your cult they when you reach already 50 members or 100 up members active you can targeting a wealth rich people by fear like "if you didn't join to my cult you are not going into the paradise when you are died" thats the strategy bro then you keep that rich people actively on your cult priorities that wealth rich people then when you reach your target and he is believed in you completely you started to implent her to donate for the cult.

[@INDYOSKARS]

"The Government is ALWAYS Right !" Well they ´saved´ us all from Corvide everybody knows that !

[@randomsnow6510]

yea the cult ideology is called politics, not only that the politics claims its not a ideology even tho it is.

[@jamesearlcash1758]

This is fun, I watched this video twice. This applies to the whole westernized social construct, everything from religion to sports entertainments etc operate the same way under a different disguise.

[@contradictator7482]

Growing up protestant this video is very scary

[@domnubest]

Every Christian evangelical group is exactly like in this video 😂

[@Golfpill]

"Holy" shit! Freaking awesome. Waking up from being a JW.

[@writeousrhema]

Are you all the way out yet?

[@Golfpill]

@@writeousrhema yep

[@xx_g0thicc_xx]

oh wow!! congrats on getting out ^^ are you safe now? if you don’t mind me asking :)

[@maxiedoescrime8200]

*mom come pick me up I'm scared*

[@hartleyw6323]

This can happen even within legitimate organizations with the right lunatic seeking power. I'm going to share this video.

[@fuzzpope]

Outstanding. This should be required viewing for everyone.

[@aheartofbronze9378]

At first I laughed at this video but by 1:39 I was a little said because this is how I was trick into joining the WMSCOG Cult and this is what they did💯💔

[@steveroberts9453]

The background music is so trippy.

[@dlausactor6373]

Welcome to Cult of the Lamb.

[@TheHyena-ru8bz]

Surprised this hasn't gone viral yet. Great short film!

[@FickleWid]

the music is great

[@tiamelancholyjeoncockity]

Whatever reason, I find this video so soothing, it's the music and sound quality, it gives that nostalgic feeling.

[@astolfo9377]

I need to do this one day

[@Cr4z3d]

Astolfo cult

[@itzbeendakavgaming5632]

Got recommended this video by a friend as "A list of examples to follow" in the process of making my own religion. I've never been more disappointed. Aarthenism will stay as it is thank you.

[@kr1221E]

I didn't watch it all, I know they're only actors, but it's sinister. In a way an abusive family is like a cult.

[@jackripper7670]

I join cults and become the leaders till they run me off because this video showed me mind control techniques years ago. Heavens gate wrote the book.

[@jmoney3218]

World domination is now within my grasp. Thank you for key pleb

[@iamthevillainofthisstory1240]

I just realized how everything they explained ties into politics.

[@Makofueled]

I wonder if we can make a cult with the initial love bomb but slightly less control over individuals within it, so external criticism of the group can be more easily deflected since the bad elements are fewer. May lead to less fervor though, which is a shame.

[@Raymund38TVM]

My uncle is a cult leader, we start a cult when i was 11yrs old, he build a small church, then we recruit by giving a flyers to the people, the flyers was containing a claimed that jesus is here and jesus is waiting for you go this address and you will see jesus, after that we give a rice to all people that attend in bible studies, then another day some people will attend again and again, my uncle needs an actor like i am blind or i am sick then he pretend to heal me, then my uncle started a doctrines for the people every attend is 1 to 3 doctrines, that is 19 doctrines all 19 doctrines is with some apologetic words and bible verses, then when the people was finish a doctrines they baptized by my uncle in the river like in the bible, then when our members is already 100 and 60 to 70 is active he started to recruit a workers, like, music organ operator, choir, readers, and in the inner core is learning a doctrines to became a pastors or minister and some is helper to my uncle house that voluntary serving her, and all the members are required to voluntary giving a flyers in public when your work is done, i remember my uncle said to all members "i see you everytime do not lied to me the spirit of jesus is in to me and i am jesus in this era" after completing all workers in the church and inner core, then my uncle started to required all members to donate every church hours sunday and every 15th and 30th of the month. They will grow fast since a pastor and minister of the church is only 6months learning to became a pastor and minister then my uncle started targeting a wealth people or influence people like public servant congressman, governor, mayor, councilor, they recruiting a people with fear in their word like "you are died you didnt came into the paradise if you didn't follow me and you did believed me i am jesus in this era spirit of jesus is in to me" 😂 some government officials and rich people will became our members they donate a millions just to have an own lot for the church that they build, then yr 2008 our first big church was already build, a church will house in the back of church for workers. Until my uncle was foolish mind to claimed that he is immortal 😂 then some former member of the church shoot a gun in her head while in public market then my uncle died at age of 48, i am age of 19 now i am already a pastor when my uncle died, then our cult started to fall down, an active members starting to collapse and the donations started to collapse too. Then the leaders of the church schedule a meeting including me, then they said to me "pretend that spirit of my uncle is now in me and i am now the new jesus and new leader of the church" 😂 but i didn't accept the offer of church leaders, then the church members active is totally drop off, and church leaders is always convincing me to do what they want but i always reject it 😂 the leaders of the church is already know that my uncle is a false prophet but since they are already fool by my uncle and they gained a salary they like to continue to cult, until my old sister was became a new cult leader while me is quit to that cult religion 😂 until that cult was totally close the donations was not sustained a salary of the cult leaders then my sister was decide to disband a cult in 2012 and gone to that area and change her name and sell the property of the church like lot and churches a cars, they she started another business 😂 sometimes when i imagine the past that is like a dream that they came and gone, some former members was became my friends and i said the truth to all former members but i always pretend that i am also a victim and pretend that i am fool 😂 because i need to do that for no accusations against me 😂 pretend to be fool and also a victim but the truth is not i already know from the beginning because i am a founding members but i can't do anything because i am only a kid and my uncle is supporting me to my tuition fees my food or allowances to the school so i only do that i think is right 😂

[@geetagill9243]

You effen psychopath!

[@doubleleterlady]

Ok, I’ve done all the steps. How do I get access to their bank accounts? Or should I ask for direct donations?

[@actualpie6521]

ask for tithing and donations, its much more normalized and its just like regular churches. some churches even do digital tithing

[@JulyBaby]

Ironically sounds like the church I go to before I became Athiest and was Catholic back then

[@Koleoscopy]

Right! This compares identical to multiple churches I’ve been to at a youth groupn

[@imaybehuman1]

the fact that a cult is right in my area makes this more terrifying

Music / Song : Captain Murphy - Disciples ( instrumental )

[@bbbloodboy6121]

This is why I'm a centrist

[@michaelchance6125]

A very good example, this should definitely be shown more in education systems. A good religion doesn't force you to change it should ask and left you choose to change or better yet not need to change at all!

[@TiagoDeckerMedeiros]

I love this film so much.
