I want to start a cult. Ok it would probably end in mass suicide. Still...how do I start things up?

Question

I really feel I was born to be a charasmatic cult leader. I can see myself having a 'compund' somewhere....probably Texas or the Southwest.

Anyone think they might want to follow me all the way????

Hey I don't necessarily WANT it to end in mass suicide...I am just thinking that from observation of past events....the government would see our Utopia and want to crush it....and we would have no other choice. I am hoping we would have at least 5 to 10 good years before that though.

Answer 1

YES! I love being brainwashed.

Answer 2

I, too have always wanted to start a cult. I've been told that the first thing you need is to promise something everybody wants that you never have to back up.... Heaven ring a bell? Something like that. Then you have to convince people that only YOU can show them how to get this thing. Cults fall apart when their leaders get greedy....and it's just so easy to get greedy. The ones that end in disaster are the ones that give a set time limit for the "event " to happen, when it doesn't happen, the members question the leader. It pays to be vague.... Me, I'm toying with the idea of a Rubber Ducky/Chocolate Chip Cookie based cult. At least these things are obtainable..lol

I've been thinking about starting a cult someday and I'm not going to join yours, but I do have some tips for you if you're serious.

First, you need to get a lot of people to join you.

Second, you need to come up with a way to keep them with you while you make money.

Third, I like the mass suicide idea but you should make sure everyone kills themselves in different ways when the time comes.

Also, who are you going to worship? Are you going to come up with a god or claim that you are him? You need to promise them something that they won't ask for proof of. You could tell them that aliens will whisk them away to heaven once they've committed suicide. Don't set a time limit for anything. And don't get too greedy.

Cults are done to death bro, as soon as you mention the word cult people know that they gonna end up killing themselves when your tax evasion scam comes to an end. What you really need is to be loved, as most lonlie outsider cult leaders needed...You sound like a puppy who got pet backwards for too long by television. Now your getting all Tyler Durden wanna ~c~ all upset you didnt become a rockstar or movie god looking for the shortest distance from "a to b" and now your just very very pissed off...First two rules of mass suicide church is...u dont tell everyone and you broke it Smiley Durden ; ) whatcha really need is to find Moses and accept Moses as your savior...have you let Moses into your heart and have accepted only he has beheld the image of god ??? Tell you what, if no one follows you in a year or so, I will follow you up to the cliff you wanna see everyone jump off and as you are saying the words of your parable looking into the wide and narrow gates, I will give you a push...after all, only a few find it. Na,na,na,na,na,na...batman!!! oh i mean Leah-der!

Answer 5

Don't do something like this. You will end up paying the ultimate price in more ways than one. You seem young and it seems like you have a great deal of energy not knowing what to do with it. Get involved with a positive activity and enjoy life for what it is. Use your intelligence for something good, not for something that could get you into a life time of trouble. Trust, me, you don't need this. If you don't know what to do with yourself, look at what's going on in your community and get involved. Have fun and enjoy life in a positive way!

Answer 6

Here is an idea... be a CULT of ONE.

That just sounds so cool, even though it is almost like the Army slogan.

You might re-think that mass suicide thing.

Answer 7

Well I won't join just any cult. I have my standards you know.

There has to be some belief that we will be whisked away by aliens to a distant galaxy once we commit suicide.

If that's the case, give me a call.

Answer 8

Start by finding really gullible people. I would suggest using spam to announce that you'll tell people the secret of happiness if they come live in your compound and give you all their money. Get them to deprive themselves of food and sleep for long enough, and you should have it.

Just make sure you ship the money to a series of offshore accounts rather than carrying it around in large sacks with dollar signs on them.

Answer 9

Dude you really do need some help, join a club, gym or whatever it takes to keep you busy, anything to keep your hands off of other people's lives, sounds like you have alot of time on your hands. Contribute to keeping the sanity in this world instead.

Answer 10

why don't you use your leadership skills for good instead of causing a mass suicide. Try using your skills for sick children or third world famine....why does it have to be something sick or twisted....why cause pain when you can use your charasmatic nature for happiness.
