Start your own cult

For a long time I was interested in information about the nuts-and-bolts of starting a cult. It's easy enough to understand how a functioning cult keeps going, but how do you get started in the first place? Sure, your followers recruits more followers, but what about on Day One when you don't have any followers yet?

I Googled this one for a long time, and sadly all the pages with information about cults were, curiously, against cults. Go figure that one. :D

But check this out. :eek:

Well then. Just so you know, just because I don't post often doesn't mean I don't lurk this place multiple times every day...

One of my friends from college is an ordained minister. And why not? Jesus didn't have any "qualifications," just got up one day and started preaching. I don't know if he has performed a wedding.

Wow, do you find it coincidental that they are trying to seduce you into buying something from them that teaches you how to seduce people? Well, they didn't convince me to buy it, so does that make their argument about fool-proofness or their methods false? Just a thought...

That's deep, man.

I must not fear . Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear . I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
