Is ChoiceCenter a cult?

[Mike]

Religion has Philosophy by side. A cult doesn't.

Hey the drugs guy that used to have the redhead from got av right?

Technically all religions are cults, so most of the world is in a cult.

Awww don't get mad guys just accept it. Cult.

After all, it's not like everyone can be right. Just one group at best, and more likely 0 groups.

Commonly accepted religion would only fall under the category of a cult by someone that wants to apply the definition of cult without intellectual honesty.

Cults require the devotion or belief of something outside the commonly accepted norms of a society.

Also. Many religions do get labeled that way because of the legalism surrounding it.

If you simply enjoy a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, then the legalism isn't a factor.

yeah ive met a surprising amount of people who are part of some sort of cult group. there is more than you think. sometimes its just being a part of a particular online discussion group but some operate to socially manipulate groups of people which is extremely bizarre and weird.

but religion is kind of this anyways. its been exposed for thousands of years to be that.
but people still act like its not that.

people just need something to believe in. they want to feel special. they want to feel different or above others. they want to put the praise and blame on someone else but them. they think they know the right way. Less people are religious now so there are more people with an empty need of something to believe in since we are pre programed that way through 1000s of years. So groups step in to monitize and control this. Its fairly easy to start a cult in todays age.

the thing is they often are successful people. Because they have this ability to delusionally believe in specific things and at the end of the day thats all you really need to get ahead. More people in high positions are part of things like this than not almost.

Sean is one of the few people I'd actually recommend to see a therapist. He trauma dumps on everybody.

If watching documentaries has taught me anything, it's that all this cult stuff is just manipulation so the guy at the top can do butt stuff with his followers.

Or you could just not be socially awkward and make friends the natural way and not buy them.....

Screw that noise, I prefer being the awkward guy in the room

I don't know, it seems to be a typical pyramid scheme or ponzi scheme kind of thing?

Which makes them egotistical and schemers but it's a bit much to label it a cult.

Many ponzi schemers brainwash people to make them give gurus all their money and also lure their friends into a trap. So...

Do they wear bubble wrap suits and worship Zoltan?!

Maybe they're one and the same. Dom Cruz/Tom Cruise very similar names. Both manlets. Tom does his own stunts, which explains doms injury woes. Look into it

 

[Guy LeDouche]

…like a fun sex cult? Or a MLM business and productivity cult?

 

[TITS]

Dom Cruz is the Tom Cruise of MMA

Dominic Cruise

There was a poster here years ago, around 2017 I believe, that had "Dom Cruise" or something as a user name with a Top Gun avatar with Dom's face photoshopped over Tom's. I guess he got banned.

Just because you say “factual” at the end of your sentence doesn’t make it factual. Fact.

Just because you say something isn't a fact, doesn't mean it's not a fact.

Fact.

Their website reeks of the latter. Lots of conferences, seminars, workshops, etc. Seems like self-help/motivational speech mumbo-jumbo + bro science + big recruiting angle.

My understanding of and a subsequent googling of "Cult" reveals that you arrre... NOT CORRECT IN YOUR ANSWER! *dances happily off stage*

maybe in 20-25 A.D. is was considered a cult because Judaism was the predominant Abrahamic religion (not sure if pegan religions were greater in number at that time? World wide of in the middle east) and Jesus would have certainly been viewed as a fringe personality who was the object of the warship. But if looking at the meaning of "Cult" with context, Christianity nor the Jewish or Muslim religions are cults, nor any religion.

Dammit , I was hoping for sex cult

Interestingly it's run by a woman. Seems more like a money making MLM scam to enhance her pockets and the others at the top. There's probably legit self help stuff in there but also a lot of weird shit with a heavy focus on recruiting others to join and give them money. The kind of org that attracts people with weaker personalities and gets them to commit full time to the project at the expense of annoying their friends and family.
