Yes, I was in a traditionalist Christian cult only for celibate men but celibate women could have their own community separately and marriedcouples and "people in the world" could be associate members. I stayed for 5 years and it was far from being completely negative,but it was obsessed with its local dictatorial leader(who was paraniod and controlling and later diagnosed with brain cancer.)
I thank God I left and I am not bitter. I have no real connections with the remnant still there. Be careful of any group that wants to cut you off from healthy outside contacts and does not permit questioning the accountability of its leaders and their actions.
