How do you go about joining a cult?

[Reign in Acai]

Is it something you can actively pursue, or do you just fall in to it?

 

[MajestikMøøse]

OMG ITS THE KKK

 

[NAD]

start one up and i'll join.

joining a cult is easy. you just act cultish and secretive, and they notice and teach you the secret handshake.

 

[NAD]

hey does anyone else do the heavy metal handshake?

i don't know if it's a cult thing or not, but when my guitarist and i get drunk together and become excited at the prospect of pussy/music/morebeer, we do the heavy metal handshake.

throw your right arm up into a hook, interlock with one another, and yell RRRRAAAAAARRRRR!!!!!!1111 as you both try and knock one another to the ground.

also acceptable is yelling HEAVY METAL HANDSHAKE!!! during the ordeal.

I just got taught the Lizard handshake in college.

I wish the Kevin Sorbo herculean handshaked somehow resurfaced. Basically its grabbing the other person's forearm in a manly moment of solidarity.

 

[NAD]

oh shit yeah, whenever i see that i say DAH!!! AWESOME!!! and then i... walk away sobbing. i dunno.

either way that show, and particularly that handshake, ruled immensely.

Eh, the word cult is thrown around. Usually a cult is just a secular/spiritual group with their own esoteric ways and beliefs that fall outside the realm of the mainstream society. The word cult is too demonizing, when in reality cults are harmless for the most part. The government just fears them (or any faction that is potentially rebellious) so the word cult has become synonymous with evil and ignorance because of the media.

Oh, and the best way to be in a cult is to start one.

Any of ye gents hear this before? This is some creepy shit. Absolutely fascinating that a man can ingrain beliefs into a group and have them bend to his will.

Every now and then I go back and look at some Jewstown articles and hoopla, as I'm blown away about how weak minded certain people can, losing all sense of individuality. Shame for the kids who weren't willing participants in this faggot's spiel. I didn't know until last night that there was audio recordings of the final moments.

not to get too philosophical, but this entire society is a cult. i look forward to the zombie apocalypse or at least life like in Mad Max

@jerry: yeah I studied the Jonestown Massacre at length. I was particularly intrigued by the autopsy reports (from a medical perspective). Most people do not know that's where the expression "drinking the Kool-aid" came from. Interestingly, it was in fact not even Kool-aid but an off-brand that I don't remember the name of right now. Flavor-aid maybe. Anyway, fuck that guy.

That's what makes it so impressive. Anyone can get a group of people to drink Kool Aid. But that off brand stuff? It's nasty. You need to have true charisma to get people to drink that stuff.

Highly recommend the doc on Netshitz called "Holy Hell."
Synopsis - "Bunch o trust fund babies start off dancing in the forest, end up giving up butt sex to a dude in a yellow speedo."
