Would you join a cult, knowing it was a cult?

23 Comments

If there was an organization in your area that you knew was a cult but it was not religious in nature,(though common religion is not necessary part of a cult) offered a good social support program, helped people through charity work, and performed other good functions would you join it?

Yes the cult has some crazy practices, since this is vague, use your imagination, harems, rituals, specific caste like system amongst members ect..

However all the crazy things it does are consensual, only adults are permitted to join, you are always free to leave, and nothing physically dangerous is done.

would you consider joining?

yes 13
maybe 8
no 24
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    Being free to leave doesn't mean being free of the stigma associated with being a part of a cult. It also doesn't guarantee being free of ill will from remaining cultists. A history of membership's also good scandal material if you're considering a career that involves publicity.

          I've never cared for it myself either. My college is small, so there's never much trouble with them but I still find their parties loud and annoying.

    That sounds like a boring cult. I will start my own cult with blackjack and hookers. And free mini sandwiches to whomever choose to join my cult.

    What you're describing isn't actually a cult anyway

    Only if the members(including myself) get paid lots of money and are given a lifetime supply of chocolate.

      I'll join that cult, but only if you're the one in charge!

        My cult would have a mandatory chocolate break in the afternoons. No exceptions.

          Mmm... chocolate.
          ;-)

          I was at the H.E.B. grocery store with my boyfriend talking about how I really love dark chocolate, then he and the checker guy got into this weird inside joke thang that seemed to be insinuating that dark chocolate had something to do with black men and their appendage. Well, I found it annoying and immature so I set em straight. I basically just announced that, "I HAVE PMS, AND SHOULD BE GETTING MY PERIOD ANY DAY NOW"!

          Well, my announcement worked and the sacker who was actually a young woman thought it was funny too! Don't get me wrong there's nothing wrong with B.B.C., but it's such an old, tired and played out thing to hear guys talk or insinuate about.

            Your story made me laugh. You're right about the chocolate cock joke being pretty old. I've seen people in my town try to use that joke as a way to pick up chicks. I doubt it works for them in the long run. XD

              My uncle Luis has this awful girlfriend that he's been with so long that they're practically married, and she always says the weirdest, most inappropriate stuff. He met her in Texas, but she's really more Pennsylvania white trash. Anyway, I remember she insinuated something about black men's penis size at Christmas dinner a few years ago. Luis' face turned so red and he was giggling like a kid.

              It's actually kinda racist when I think about it I mean why are white Anglo and Latin people talking about this stuff at dinner? I've gone out with a very few black dudes, and never been in a serious relationship, but the obsession would be kinda fucked up if I had ever had a serious black boyfriend. The one black guy I ever slept with was super tall with big feet, but he did not fit the stereotype, in fact he was sort of the polar opposite. At the time I felt kinda cheated, but now in retrospect I'm fine with the fact that he didn't fit the stereotype. One thing I will say is it seems chubby men tend to be poorly endowed and skinny ones are the opposite.

    Only if the cult revolved around people thinking I'm fabulous, giving me money via pay pal and otherwise leaving me alone.

    I think you forgot the part about brainwashing people in regards to your description of a cult.
