    Das brachte mich zum Nachdenken: Wir hatten hier nie eine Sekte, oder?

      Those lads are active in Ireland btw.

      House of Prayer is a home grown one that comes to mind.

      My neighbour ran a cult in the 90s. Used to rip off young new age travellers and manipulate them into working for free. It was incredibly frustrating. The more you tried to warn them the more adamant they’d be that he was an amazing wise guru.

      Ian Paisley’s Free Presbyterian Church without a doubt. He used it as a propaganda machine to spread bigotry and incite violence.

      I remember being offered the personality test on Abbey St in the mind 90’s and laughing at them knowing what they were at 16 or 17.

      House of prayer and recently the heavily Americanised online conspiracy theorists.

      There are a lot of very strange, very insular evangelical churches staggered around rural Ireland.

      There’s a church in Donnybrook (near RTE) that has this statue inside, kind of like a small side altar, of Josemaria Escriva de Balaguer — the guy who founded Opus Dei, a cult that started in Spain inside the Catholic church, and they were (and still are) kinda extreme. I was really surprised to see that in a church around that area in Dublin.

      I was only saying yesterday GAA is like a cult, especially in rural areas. They can do no wrong. Once you’re in there’s no getting out. Flags and banners and if you’re not in you’re the worst and shunned by the locals/members.

      Christianity is a cult of Judaism just as Hari Krishnas are a cult of Buddhism.
