[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Religions are cults. Some more extreme than others. People want to fit in, some are born into cults, others convert into cults. People want to feel more fulfilled, find connection and network, and sometimes shallow reasons like they met a partner who is in a specific cult. The person never had any interest in that cult prior to meeting this person, oh but now, now they state that they always wanted to become part of it. Bull$h!. Many times religion is all about exclusion and potentially elevating one’s status somehow. [/quote] This describes the experience of someone I deeply love to a “T”. He was a late teen at the time and someone came along that indoctrinated him at a vulnerable point in his life. Love bombing, coercive control, manipulation, fear based techniques…all used against him and it is destroying his life because it’s feeding into his anxieties in multiple ways but he is trapped now (mind-forged manacles as Christoper Hitchens said). Saddest thing I’ve ever witnessed and I can do nothing to fight it from the outside. [/quote]
