I know someone who just gave birth only three weeks ago but her husband got involved with someone from a cult and he would talk with the cult guy for hours every time he calls. Now her husband is moving to another state to live in the cult trailers, leaving her and her 3 week old baby behind.
damn
Well good luck with that.
What’s the name of this so-called “cult”?
Tawsif Elahi Chowdhury I would like to know that as well
@@Zrs-2 u wanna job as my cults body guatd
I watched the entire ad about this. Interesting and very informing.
This is an awesome companion piece to Far Cry 5 :3
This trailer sold me into buying Farcry 5
One way is by gaslighting. You know, distorting peoples' view of reality or history. Say, if you didn't like the comments or ratings your video got... just re-upload it!
poopnach definitely or cut off contact with the outside world. The more you keep them in ignorance, and less you make them question things, the more power you have over them.
That reminds me of MSNBC, CNN and Fox News.
Yes I think that they may be using it on me not sure but maybe they r if I'm not sure
@@slayer45670 that hit home they don't give much information about themselves
@@James-vk5ov add Facebook and Twitter
I just watched a Korean Drama titled SAVE ME and now i'm out here searching for ways to get out of a cult if ever i get into one😭💀
The thing about cult that they will never show you their true face..you will be allowed to see what they allow you to see...
Yes they wear a mask, and now they want you to wear one to.
Some people may have had good intentions before they got in to a cult they may think they are helping other people in a way but they are leading others down a road of deception, and ultimately to their own destruction. This manly happens because the cult makes them feel special for their service, or offers them some reward. All cults work off of mind manipulation, and the desires of the people who enter. The fact the leaders know your desires is very disturbing to say the least. The reality is there is mind control to some extent being used because even this guy admits that if someone asked you outright to join our cult people would not do it, but they can be lead in to joining through deception. Lack of real historic knowledge, and biblical truth is also a factor in people being mislead in to joining cults. In my opinion all cult leaders are narcissists that guilt trip, gaslight, and manipulate people emotions, and then use their emotions against them. Demons tempt humanity because they know more about you than you think they know. Fallen angels did the same things in the past.

It’s scary how families can also be a cult. Do you have any advice on how to get out of a cult in a respectful way?
I just came out as an atheist
once you can land a job and stable financially and independent. move out, preferably far away and slowly cut all contact, once you do change your last name
@@aminedhaouadi8688 That's good one 👍🏼
@Christi A yeah cuz minors can just up and leave lmao
this video is so wonderfully made, love the edits and stylistic effects. well done! this deserves more views.
I also think it's possible for an individual to have a cult like relationship to a group of people while the group itself is not a cult. Whereas everyone else has a healthy relationship to the group, there could be one person who has internalized a need to not ask questions and appease whatever they perceive to be the desires of others. I've been there before, having rich parents and going to a liberal arts school and not having any drive. I ended up deciding that anyone who is "marginalized" inherently knows best and I should follow their lead. In the end I had four felonies on my plate after being arrested at two different protests.
I believed that it was my duty as a white, rich guy to be as self sacrificing as possible.
And none of this was helped by the election of Trump, increasing white nationalism, concerns of global warming, or any of that stuff. In fact it all made me go crazy, quite literally, developing legitimate mental health issues and paranoia.
None of this is to say that the social inequalities that are talked about on college campuses aren't real. And I still know on some level that I don't really know what's going on in the world, what racism feels like to a person of color, etc. None of us will never know all the answers.
But I also, at this point, have allowed myself to be more middle of the road, to not get so swayed by what others think. After all, it never felt good to blindly follow other people. I always felt like an idiot, like I was arguing backwards to prove myself, never able to really listen to what other people had to say because in my head my own points didn't even make sense. Always defensive, always reactionary.
This doesn't mean that I am now completely inactive. While it is true that no one ever knows everything, the answer is not then to lock oneself up in an ivory tower. As my favorite Zapatista phrase goes, "caminando, preguntamos". In other words, "as we walk, we question". It will always be a struggle then, to find the line between action and knowing.
"The fictional town of hope COUNTY ,Montana." Also it is set in the real continent known as Montana
Well done. I was looking more for the tactics cult use to gain members. Which your video didn’t talk about. However it did a good job of showing why people may be open to being manipulated into joining one. Never ever give up your autonomy and ability to reason critically. Blind obedience is not what God wants. He wants you to come and reason with Him. It’s a discussion. Yes obedience comes into play but there is already a relationship of trust, respect, and love in place.
check out my cult playlist also one video called "how to spot a cult" and "cult leader pesonality traits"
im completely isolated, unemployed for over a year, no friends, no life, and i fell prey for a guy twice my age LMAO. i didnt want to have sex with him but i froze when he did. i wanna end this but i keep coming back to him cuz i have no one other than him in my life. and hes been nice to me. its been 10 days not seeing him and im missing him so much.... so this cult psychology also explains my situation.
He is just pretending to be nice so you keep coming back to him you need to just take your chances, and leave. Your life is not better than being on the streets with him anyway. He is manipulating you to commit sin because he wants to own you hell not just control you on Earth. This is a battle for your soul nothing more he sees more in you than you see in yourself, and he wants to destroy that. It is actually a compliment he is paying attention to you. I'm with a older man to similar, but not extreme. You are not a loser. He is a narcissistic demon they want to kill you eventually if not physically emotionally until you commit suicide just get away from him. Some even warn people when they walk in haunted places filled with demons they sometimes say get out because if you don't they plan to drive you nuts if they stay there until someone commits suicide.
@@etherealenergy9471 thank you for taking the time to replying to me! i havent seen him two months. but would nearly think about him every day. i had shared my true feelings to him and he seems to understand and then stop messaging me... i told myself i dont really need him and that hes just a distraction, a very bad distraction... and i didnt message him either... until this morning he suddently told me hes gonna have a holiday, which means he will have lots of time and "want me back".. but idk... i have kinda used to being entirely alone and isolated. maybe i wont let him walk into my life again...
@@invisi6l339 Please don't give yourself back your life, and freedom it is worth it. He is holding you back. You have something important to accomplish in the near future with us moving in to dark times. He is trying to stop you from doing something.
@@invisi6l339 Your welcome you also deserve better never forget that.
Thanks for this video, it warns me about cult. I used to have this cult friend that keep forcing me to trust her no matter what... Is really scary and I don't want to have anything to do with cult.
This is a great video, thank you.
Money is not important that’s what really most religions do. I think that is also the reason why some rich people like those religions. You know , the greed. They can’t trap them if they have money.....
Cults happen because people do not like taking responsibility for their own life's failures.
Happening in the charismatic Pentecostal churches today. Not as extreme but definitely borderline.
The answer is simple. Most people that get trapped in these don't feel right about themselves they find a sense of belonging and then the Trap is closed their total if they ever separate from that particular group they're worth nothing they will have nobody Etc. That's why people should be looking at Jesus and not always Wako leaders that claim to be Prophets.
lol, how ironic you criticize cults but say to look to Jesus
yes, unfortunately I too came to face this world dangerous group of cults. there is cult in India who emphasizes on happiness and I happened to meet one cult member who was unfortunately my classmate. he and his family who lives in Indian state of Kerala did almost every thing to get me into the cult. they tried spoiling my career, they gained unauthorized access into my digital life and they are still accessing to watch my communications to look for chances to trap me (which they call as mentoring to make me better person which is the agenda of almost every cult and people believe them here). As a person who battled cult, I could say that these cult members are extremely dangerous than any war or anything. the cult leader which i mentioned was known to world as peacemaker and claim he solved world problems but the truth no one knows the underground world of the cult. every cult presents themselves as if they are making world better place but that is fake. one common characters of cult leaders , as i would say their aspirations, to be powerful and have the influence on world. finally, they make good money and live a lavish life.
That's why we worship the sunlight the people on this Earth is Tainted with Darkness
You know this vid sucks WHEN “a fire started” is the explanation for what happened in Waco.
I went to a cult
It's called advanced learning academy at heavens point international
Education is important
3:25 it was flavoraid not koolaid
Thanks for the tutorial!!
anyone had a friend join AA? they joined a cult.
AA doesn't have a central charismatic leader, it's based on attraction not promotion, and there are no fees. Although it's a group of people working towards a central goal (sobriety), it's very un-cultish based on the typical definitions of a cult.
Using FarCry5 was a good piece of showing people!
Like Midsommar movie.
background song at 4:19 ?
Simple gifts
Worth watching!
I also think those lead to cults have a lack of self esteem they really don't love themselves, and think the fantasy of themselves in their mind can come true. These are people who really don't see their true meaning in the world, and think it is fun to try something different.
Watched the video while playing Epsilon program in GTA V
I bet a cult would try to get me to quit.. I’ve always thought that tho..
I've been studying cults a lot lately and it's frightening how much alike they are. In most of the big, better known cults, women are always second class citizens - and have to wear a head covering to prove it . They're there to do as they're told, marry as they're told and have as many children as can be squeezed out of them. The cult leader is always a man, he always claims his instructions come directly from God and he always teaches that you're ONLY going to heaven if you believe in him and do it his way! As the cult grows and 'settles in' so to speak life gets noticeably worse for the followers - and in proportion gets better for the leader and slowly but surely the nastiness creeps in. I guess it's human frailty - because let's face it NOBODY is receiving the so-called WORD OF GOD into his ear ... and I do have to say that IF all these appalling men, such as Neville Cooper, Warren Jeffs, David Koresh etc., really do believe that God is talking personally to them - then one has to ask, WHAT SORT OF PERSON IS GOD, for heaven's sake?!
Praise the Father (.)
I would easily fall into a cult 😰not doin so well rn
Not defending the Waco cult, but the information I read states that it was the government went after him aggressively. Yes, he said weird things and people were in that cult, but it wasn’t exactly as stated here. I think it would be fair to TRUTH to correct that.
“Cult researcher”😂😂
5k sounds low for the US
Kpops new album “koolaid is on us!”
Song at the end?
Background Music at 4:23?
Who wants to join my Onion Cult?
Grown-Ups of the corn
N I think I have ,n I'm trying to break free a BDSM cult .I need help I try to disassociate from them n they do the love bonding been trying to remove my identity by calling me girl try to isolate me n try to have others talk to me about moving in w them
Is this a reupload?
This video is important for members of cults. These cults are so immoral and wicked that the members need Jesus!!
Yes, I have a group of friends who were raised Jehovah’s Witness and they are all a mess and have completely turned away from god in disgust. If you told them they need Jesus... they will run the other way.
Wow, jumping from one cult into another
Sacrifice the past (.)
Reupload ????
all hail the father
People think they are so smart when they join these cults. Believing everything they're told. Smh
Do you believe vaccines are safe, effective and necessary? Ok... do you believe anyone who doesn’t want a vaccine is stupid, should be prevented from participating in society, should have their children taken away and imprisoned? If so, you belong to the cult of vaccinia.
Every religion is a cult, cult is just a new religion & some of them are more destructive then others.
Even atheism is a religion..
IamKKH atheism is not a religion at all its the absence of any religion. Though some atheists can behave in dogmatic and closed minded ways just like religious people.
@@sabrinaadam8557 I'm aware of what atheism is, my response is meant to reply to your comment, that if a cult to you is so black and white in whether or not you have a religious belief then atheism (belief in nothing, which is still something) is a cult, socialism can be a cult, conservativism can be a cult, liberalism can be a cult and so on.....
IamKKH Atheism is not a belief in nothing. Some atheists believe that they know God isn’t real and others believe that they can’t know if God is real. Atheism is a lack of belief.
Just like atheists would be considered a cult too. People who hide behind the word science all the time are also a cult. They offer psuedo science and their beliefs.
Misinformed about Charles Manson and slightly inaccurate info on Jim Jones.
We are Eden's Gate
5000???!!!????
It wasn't cyanide it was potassium in Jones town I believe.
No i could not fall prey to a cult. People who do are slow
I wouldn't call it trapping them, more like helping them
bruh you forgot Osho.
Far cry 5
That re-telling of Waco, was dreadful. Watch Waco on Netflix
Not sure what you are saying here. Was the re telling of Waco accurate or inaccurate?
The problem with Waco is that there was no justification for killing the group. Is that what is dreadful?
The Lord Jesus Christ Son of God holds me in His hand because He said all those I hold in My hand no one can snatch them out of My hand. He also said My sheep know My voice and follow after Me. Repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Accept the Lord Jesus Christ and His sacrifice for your sins and believe this in your heart and He will send the Holy Spirit to dwell with you and it will tell you what is of God and what isn't. I would not fall prey to a cult.
Amen to that my friend.
You’re in a cult. Literal definition. Have a blessed day
In America religion has been commercialised, and the one thing a commercialised God needs is money.
@@andrewmunn1724 i don't think u even know what ur talking about
religion is a cult
Charles Manson never killed anyone
The perfect church on Earth does not exist and you cannot make the perfect church. If you can prove me wrong and find this church DO NOT JOIN IT!!! If you do you will spoil it.
isnt all religions cults?
+Donald Kontleikkers
Correct...
There are lots of defining factors but I think the main one is a currently living charismatic leader. For instance with mainstream religion like Christianity if you don't like a pastor you can say "This pastor doesn't jive with me, I'm going across the street." It isn't that easy if you are in a cult.
All religions did start at as cults though.
Then atheism is a cult as well..
IamKKH atheism isn’t a religion, it’s a lack of religion
Jehovah's Witnesses!!!
Hey do u want to join my religious cult ... i say all the time
