Learned that was a thing in some circles.
Anyone wanna have a struggle session?
I’m drunk around CHUDs and trying to ignore them.

My paternal grandfather's family was full of weird Pentecostals living in Indianapolis, so I have relatives that knew Jones before he moved to California. i don't know if it's hindsight, but they say he was unsettling to be around. Apparently my great-grandfather confronted him for being a heretic 🤷
I worked with a dude who was in a self help cult based in PA for like two years. Him and his GF got out around the same time.
One thing I learned from them, apparently most cults have a high turnover rate. They were in an online community of ex-members that was “around 50 people”, and the cult apparently never went over 200 active members. If you watch/read about cults there’s a lot of accounts from people who left right before the cult went super crazy. Seems like most humans have some ability to gauge when shits about to go REALLY bad.
That's good to hear. I tend to think of cults as being very hard to leave, and that it's unlikely that people would even want to leave in the first place. I'd certainly prefer to think that they're easier to escape.
