Hi I'm a junior majoring in Psychology with a paper on cult practices due in my Social Psychology class. Has anyone here been in a cult? Could you tell me what it was like and how you got out?

I went to a so called church of God for a short time. I always felt bad when I was there and had a couple weird things happen to me at that time. They offered to purchase my son for monthly payments. I think they were evil doers, tricking people into thinking it was a holy group. I feel that was a cult.

Hi. Back in the 80's I was a member of the Hare Krisna's. I ilived at the temple for 3 years. I enjoyed the temple life, it was rewarding and educational. I had no real complaints when I left. I was removed from the Houston Temple by a group of college students that thought I had been brain washed. If you wish you can contact me for more details.

Christianity is a cult. Ask a Christian. I'm not kidding. Just don't tell them what you're talking about. Make it sound like you're just interviewing them about their religion. You'll probably have the most interesting paper in your class.

Anyone that is a Jahova Witness is.
This is a good place to read and ask questions.

Here's your 4.0 paper. Go to a Scientology 'audit' and then report on it the cult-like properties (there will be many!)
