Any religious or any kind of cult. Churches absolutely fucking count. If it caused you some level of trauma, it counts or simply had weird shit, it counts!

Anyone ever been a part of a cult?
19
when you signed up for sales, you signed up for the cult. eod.ย
LOL at least here we make moneyย
Indeed! Haha
Was literally going to say this then saw your post. Couldnโt have said it more perfect.
Haha! Thanks my man. +1 ๐
Yes. NXIVM.ย
You know, the one where the founder, Keith Raniere went to jail for sex trafficking, racketeering and forced labor.
I knew and sold to the woman who bankrolled the whole thing (Seagrams heiress), Claire Bronfman. It was a dark time in my life where my sports coach convinced me that I needed to go to โfix myselfโ ( he also had a deal with Bronfman to recruit so she would buy from him).ย
Thankfully, I only did the one five day intensive in Albany with Claire and the other founder, Nancy Sazman. It was expensive and the whole scarf wearing/bowing/titles/special handshake thing was just too weird.ย
The FBI actually called me the other day about it.ย
I did it in 2004, before it was too big and the sex stuff. FBI was digging into when Claire started bankrolling - which was right around my time there.ย
anyway, thereโs a docuseries on Netflix or something.ย

Holy fuck
This is fucking crazy
Thanks for sharing, unfortunately this is all too common with fucking cults. Sex trafficking, sex abuse, sex abuse to minors included, my kindness and patience toward all cults is all but depleted. Fuck religion.ย
This is wild!! The CBC has a good podcast on the NXIVM cult interviewing a member that got away. It's mind blowing
LinkedInย
Truth
I used to be Mormon, so yes. Just look at videos on YouTube.
Yeah I get it. I used to be IFB. Door knocking AF, 15 yearsย
Did door knocking for 2 years and then realized I wanted to get out lol how times change. But I did realize after door knocking I was good at sales.
I came to a similar conclusion, still mad as fuck though lolย
Right? I don't know when the anger will go away lol i hope you are okay mentally. It's hurt my mental state bad but getting through it.
Iโm pretty hotheaded , but itโs nothing thatโs keeping me awake at night. I am pretty active to help people The truth on this kind of shit. Especially when there is abuse involved. Statistically, itโs just too high to neglect
Agreed. Is your close family in it too? My siblings and parents are still mormon but one of my siblings has left like me. Hurts knowing they still stay in despite knowing what goes on.ย
Another Ex-Mo here. The mental trauma it does is insane. Seeking therapy for it. Lots to work through.ย
Glad to see exmos in here. You're not alone. I am seeking therapy as well. It's a tough road.ย
Iโve been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower. You have more fun as a follower but you make more money as a leader.ย
Hahaha Creed
I was born into my family...does that count?? They are all psychos lol...
Hire for kill articles run rapid in my (estranged) family. Its fucked up.ย
Hahaha that's is hilariousย
Does the company that raised me from a 21 yr old pup count? Felt like a divorce when I left. Sadness and anxiety followed by this insane sense of relief!ย
I don't think people will disclose that. If they are part if the cult
I was in the army, so...yes?
Lol I was in a frat for like 2 weeks, dropped when I saw robes and books ๐
๐
Nope, didn't go to Texas A&M
Lol
I really thought more people would appreciate that one lol
not really.
Does World Ventures count? ๐ย
No, but I will tell you growing up as a catholic and going to church every Sunday, when we would join hands and say the 'our father' - that felt fucking cult likeย
When your product is so bad you feel like your in a cult for selling it
aren't we all already a part of the cult?
I lived with the Hare Krishna in the Ecuadorean jungle at one point...it truthfully didn't feel like a cult when I was there but taking a step back now that its been years....I'd say it was a cult...
United States Marine Corps.ย "Once a Marine, always a Marine"ย
