If you find the military has left out pamphlets, you take them all and throw them away.
did this at a local comic book store once! Fuck that comic book store, it’s a creepy and bad place
this goes for if you see anything promoting the Shen Yun dance troup. That is a recruiting point for a cult called Falun Gong.
same goes for if you see anything promoting Mormonism or Scientology, although I haven’t seen materials for those things personally, I’m sure they exist
If you are invited to a Christian group that “doesn’t have a name”, something that holds meeting for outsiders in rec centers, “special meetings”- that’s a cult that is know to members only as “The Truth”, but is on Wikipedia as “two by twos”. Please reach out to me if you or anyone you love has been contacted by this group.
Institutions of abuse are everywhere. Do everything within your power to stop them whenever you see an opportunity. If you see a sign in your rec center that’s some sort of open call to a Christian church meeting but doesn’t have any real info on the church, maybe let me know. Don’t call the number, I can call the number. If you feel the need to do research on your own, all you need to check is whether they refuse to give you a straight answer about the name.
oh yeah, if you want context for “The Truth” being something I’m talking about that you have certainly never heard of, where I’m getting this information- the source is that I was raised in this cult. I know it sounds, almost fake or something, but it isn’t.
just want to say it’s decent as fuck of y’all to reblog this. it’s hard for me to talk about this stuff and harder if I feel like no one is listening. Thank you all for making me feel like someone hears this stuff sometimes.
All of the above for any Jehovah’s Witness material or anything produced by the Watchtower Society (The JW’s printing press).
forgot to include JW’s in this: that is absolutley a cult.
for people in the notes: Shen Yun is persecuted by the Chinese Goverment, and they are also a cult with a robust propaganda wing, and they use accusations of sympathy with the Chinese government or approval of their persecution, to shut down conversation about how they are a cult. Before you jump to add something about how they are persecuted by the Chinese government- I’m aware, I don’t call groups cults lightly, and I looked into this group before deciding what I thought about them, don’t assume I haven’t.
Remember: the one thing all cultists have in common is that they are suffering spiritual abuse. No one chooses to be abused. If you’re in these groups, maybe you feel like you choose this for yourself, but you need to question “was the choice I was given a meaningful choice? Or was I given the illusion of a choice?” It’s not your fault. This isn’t your fault. Whenever you’re ready, you can reach out.
