      I love how the bible always referred to fruit, if you grew fruit for a way of life, when it is ripen, you take it to market. You WILL be laid accordingly to the amount of fruit you have and the quality of that fruit! So rejoice in times of your greatest weaknesses, that is the time the holy spirit will do the most through you! (See you on the the other side). God does wonderful and amazing things in the midst of tragedies, sleep well and let him work through you. :)

      Me too. I regretted all the time wasted, thank goodness the cult i joined become too big and insanely perfectionist and anti sexual relationships "unless blessed" of course that i did not experience sexual assault at all. all the rest though I experience.. Sleep deprivation, food deprivation, extreme physical activities all to make your mind weak to keep you in their programming. total sacrifice of your life to dedicate yourself to "God" and the second coming of the messiah. I am positive that this JMS cult is inspired and copied the Unification Movement under Sun Myung Moon (deceased) they are know here in US as "Moonies" yeah and they're also the reason why I am here in US until today.

Maybe go out and look for those who could be recruited into such cults and bring them to the True God? Or get in the way when you see such sects attempting to recruit someone? And perhaps it has brought you closer to the REAL Jesus than you would have been without it, by learning what he is NOT

    When I was a kid we attended Jim Jones' church when he was still in Indiana, USA. I spent Christmas at his house. Later he moved off to California then on to Guyana where the congregation was murdered. He had a dark energy, as a kid I could sense it. Watch out who you call teacher, leader, master.

      I was 1 year and 17 days old when the Jonestown massacre occurred. Many people believe Jim Jones acted alone but the women closest to JJ ensured his plan was completed.
      I still think about how people will join any type of religious group but will scoff at the manipulation and control of the people in Jonestown as being gullible fools.

    Those poor women abused by this man who calls himself a 'messiah'. Because someone attaches the name 'Christian' to themselves does not mean they are. This man was merely a person who is a pervert, manipulator, abuser, liar, blasphemer and a thief to name but a few of his traits, who calls himself a Christian. I hope those who have fallen prey to this cult find justice and peace within themselves and go on to lead wonderful new lives.

      Someone manipulating a person to do whatever will tell them and convince them they are what the victim wants them to be, and the manipulated person is being "saved" from something horrendous, and only the manipulator can so save them. If they have to label themselves "Christian" or "expert" or "authority", they'll use that. They'll flatter and threaten - using religion or pseudoscience or pseudo-legal rhetoric.

    The closest thing to a cult I’ve ever joined is a fraternity in college. Of course there was no worshiping of anything or an all powerful member, but many of the techniques are similar. The rituals, the symbolism, (like dying and being reborn) the rules , almost daily activities, the chants, the letters, weekly meetings where you’d be called out in front of the entire frat, sleep deprivation at times, being forced to live in the house, and of course excommunication. If someone quit, no matter the reason, we had to act like they were nonexistent. I basically quit slowly at the end of sophomore year without making a fuss bc I got tired of it taking up so much of my time. I didn’t have any issues in that regard bc I still attended parties and participated in rush while continuing paying dues. Sororities and fraternities are like cult-lite. I will say though it’s absolutely nothing about buying friends like so many non-Greeks say. Greek life opens many doors not only in college but afterwards too. It basically is a way to enter elite society. Why do you think so many presidents, politicians, and famous individuals join secret societies?

      No-Not necessily. There may be right now many groups, organizations in the world which are allowed to be. Allowed to exist whilst the goverment is not aware of all the details about what they do. (Good or Bad). Many or most Goverments do not operate a policy to shoot dead any one else in the country not of the goverment. Therefore many people are allowed to exist whilst not being known about. That being said. That does not mean goverments do not have rules or laws against criminal actions. So first evidence of a crime has to be brought to the attention of the Goverment. Yes-Many Goverments may allow organisazions or may even support organisations. But that does not mean they allow criminal organisations to continue to do crimes. In our country we may have some 2 million organisations.

If you dont know the bible, then you are open to satan and his tricks, and lies.

      It certainly briefly occurred to them that it's bizarre, but at that point, they were already far in the grooming process. It has nothing to do with intelligence. The biggest flaws as individuals are emotional, not intellectual. Moreover, humans are very social creatures and at first, every cults don't seem like one, but more like a welcoming/like-minded/accepting community.
      Cults leaders/recruiters will not prey on people based on their IQ, but rather on those seeking for a purpose in life and/or with low self-esteem and/or unmet emotional needs (and these vulnerabilities can happen to anyone at some point in their life regardless of how smart, average or dumb they are). In fact, being smart can work against a victim, because it helps them to think they are too smart to fall for a cult, thus more likely to "rationalize" the first mild red flags in order to keep the "feel good" emotional benefits their new friends/group bring them.
      Leaders/recruiters of successful cults are masters at grooming their victims, with manipulation techniques adapted to each individual, to gradually increase their indoctrination until their critical thinking skills are all tangled up and biased (making them docile and loyal followers) and it's virtually impossible to back out easily and/or safely.
      I hope this perspective helped you understand better.

    This cult operates out of New York as well. I was walking down the streets of NY City one afternoon in January 2020 and was approached by a girl who asked if I would be interested to join a bible study. I said yes and went with her. She took me to a building which looked like a normal space where there were tables and chairs as if it were a real study area and she gave me a bible and had a bible for herself and started telling me that before we were born we were all living in spirit and once we die we will be in spirit again and that this guy was the actual messiah and we must worship him. That was when my spiritual alarm went off and I confronted her with the Bible verses that contradicted what she said. She got upset and said that I can leave if I don’t believe in what she says. I said I will leave and asked if I could use the restroom before leaving, she said yes. I sprinted out after I had used the restroom.
