Funding a Tai Chi Cult

[SummerStriker]

I have always enjoyed cults. I was in a youth group Christian cult as a kid. I joined Sherdog just as I was leaving a wonderful martial arts cult with a psycho leader. I was associated with a new age cult for awhile even though I was never in, I still enjoyed the atmosphere.

There is this sexy drama vibe that permeates cult life. People tell the truth a lot, about most things--especially there own big feelings. There is leadership drama. There are always people cheating. It feels so important. And OMG when you end up in conflict with another cult: dojo storms or religious conversions or graffiti spells or whatever you got, fuck it gets fun.

Now, there are a lot of cults available to me. I am an average BJJ gym rat. There are white pride groups. You got your gun nut preppers and I do know some. I am not interested in any of that. QAnon nah.

I want a good old fashion hippie cult. I want people reading my aura and deflecting the negative energy from their abusive ex. I want fat girls loudly open about sex and old men bragging about how many pushups they can do. I want someone to pin my personality defects on my past life. I want astrology and sage smudging and all that bullshit.

I can spend some money. I've got a few grand I can throw at this. But I'm not the guy who runs it. I need to find a charismatic leader I can believe in. Someone money hungry who will try to fuck your wife but also try to heal your back.

How do I get this together?

I really feel like the fun cult is a thing of the past. Is it?

Weird but it strikes a chord. Maybe that is where the fun is now. I could try to get on the school board and push CRT. Thank you

What was the Christian youth cult?

It was just an ordinary, non-denominational protestant youth group but they did shit 3 days a week.The youth leader tried to handle every problem of home life, growing up, and so on. Music. Get away trips. When I was a kid it seemed fine but in retrospect it was pretty nutty and intense.

They drew hard lines between the in and out group including non believers in the family.

It never caused me any harm because my mom did a dozen hours of volunteer work for the church and tithed, while my dad thought everyone was retarded, so they never crossed me other than to give us bad advice when I really did need professional counseling and medical help as a kid. But other people in the group would come in crying about their hellbound family and the pastor would be like, "we are your family now." They basically publicly shamed an 18 year old girl for having sex and kicked her boyfriend out who grew up in the church. They did some sleezy shit from time to time.

The language they used to pressure high school kids not to have sex was very judging and rude.

I have a conflict. My local group only meets once a week. Hardly a cult.
