    Do I look like the Answer Mug Village Idiot?

    NEVER.  I can smell a cult a mile away.

    That is funny that you should pick Scientology to prove your point.
    Leah Remina's show is what inspired me to write this post.

    Perhaps a cult smells like Trump?

  • Um ... I've always wanted my own cult.. but that's an entirely different story and only for those who know me better  but suffice to say it would definitely be based on love not hate or indoctrination... lots of love in fact :P

    Most cults claim to be based on love, and their brainwashing methods convince them that their teachings are from God and this is what he want's.


    Good luck with starting your own cult. I hope you do better with yours then others have done with theirs.

    That one is one of the few that I was not involved in and I don't know much about it.

    I think we are in pretty good hands as long as they don't ask us to give up our family and friends who are not members here LOL.

    Hi Lulu'sMom!  Not sure if that makes me "wise", but it does baffle me that some seemingly intelligent people can get so caught up in that kind of thing.

    To tell the truth, anyone can be taken in.
    People who are searching for answers and acceptance that they can't get in other places are prime targets for a cult.
    They will make them think what they are learning is the truth, and once they have them hooked, the rest is easy.
