I'm really glad you're OK because as someone who studies cult psychology in university as a part of my degree, it is NOT recommended to actually join a cult undercover for any reason ever. If you think you can't get sucked into their practices, you're wrong. These cults aren't successful because people are gullible, they're successful because they're extremely good at what they do.

As a fellow Portlander, on paper “Portland Man Joins Cult” is the least surprising headline I could imagine

People have said it already, but as someone studying neurosci and psych, don’t “infiltrate” cults. People don’t fall victim to cults and scams because of naivety or stupidity, they fall for cults and scams because they’re good at exploiting fatigue and exhaustion. And sadly, as long as you’re human, you will feel fatigued, you will feel tired. So be careful everyone.

When I first moved to South Korea, the first Korean friend I made ended up being part of a religious cult. I remember feeling so happy I had made this friend who wanted to hang out with me and feeling a sense of belonging that helped me get through a feeling of homesickness. Then she invited me to her church saying she wanted to introduce me to friends who wanted to learn English....only for me to get stuck watching a creepy cult video and being absolutely terrified.<br><br>These organization use kindness to find and corner people, taking advantage of their desire to connect, all to pass an agenda that is often harmful and insidious. After that experience I found it way harder to get close to strangers and even after I moved back to the states, I still feel that apprehension. It's so cruel.

I speak Chinese, even though I’m not Chinese since I lived for 10 years in China. Every time this cult approaches me while I am in different country it’s my favourite thing to do to just listen for a bit and then suddenly start making questions in Chinese. They always runaway in fear lmao
