I've told you before about my trip to the Shaker community. It was in a remote area west of Lexington, KY. My lady friend at the time wanted to go there. They made incredible furniture. I found their celibacy to be novel at the time. No, not familiar with Exclusive Brethren...

Exclusive Brethren are kind of cult like, run by rich conservatives + I think they are somewhat similar to Jehovahβs witnesses in exclusivity + ex-communicating people who stray away from the church. They have branches internationally + own a successful junk food shop in my city.

There are tens of thousands of cults, maybe more. Why are you interested in this one?

Bc they used to have a school very close to where I live that they uprooted. Their women are kind of dressed like nuns in navy blue. Iβm interested in cults that are close to where I live bc I like to psychoanalyse cults especially ones close to home.

I wonβt. Exclusive Brethren have a branch in America + they go by βPlymouth Brethrenβ over there. They are evangelicals.

There are so many damned churches in America I cannot keep up with them. The Baptists alone must be divided up in about a thousand different sects and subsects. They will fight over one word in the Bible and then break away and start another church... lol... idiots

I feel you. We have many cults in NZ, not as many as you but we have a whole directory of them online cults.co.nz

A lot of churches aren't cults. They don't have control over their members lives like a cult does.
They say California is the cult capital of the world lol... they do seem to spawn some of the more notorious ones

True. What is about California you think that makes it susceptible to creating many notorious cults?

Well, for one thing, it's the only state in the U.S. where you have to build a fence to keep the fruits from picking the people

I see. I once heard that two states that the powers that be deem a threat are California and Texas. Texans apparently hate being pushed around + Californians are notorious for alternative lifestyles.
