I was in the JW cult for three decades before I sent a letter to my local congregation stating scriptural reasons why I could no longer be a JW. It wasn’t until three months later that I realized that I had been in a cult. I was embarrassed and ashamed at first but eventually realized that anyone can be entrapped in a cult.
While I vowed to never become ensnared in a cult again, I was shocked to learn that many who left the JW org began embracing conspiracy theories and becoming involved in cult-like political movements.
If you believe mainstream media is fake news, you are probably in a cult.
If you believe mainstream scientists are involved in nefarious conspiracies, you are probably in a cult.
If you believe the novel coronavirus is not as deadly as mainstream experts say it is, you are probably in a cult.
If you believe our POTUS hasn’t told over 20,000 lies since he’s been elected, you are probably in a cult.
If you believe our POTUS cares about the working-class people, you are probably in a cult.
Trump inspired the bigots to vote in the 2016 election and vote they did. That’s it, however, and he’s not inspired any others since then except maybe the once-apathetic, young democratic voters.
