A cult would never use force in order to recruit. You will meet a cult in an association it controls, such as an art school, a music school, a group offering help for your school duties, theatre, cultural conferences, etc. We become nothing. The cult destroys entirely their personality and critical thinking. It cuts them from family and friends.
Members slowly come to accept literally everything without a second thought, just like robots.
Every student feels like a link in a chain. If you have any goods, any money, just give them to us. Regard work as a pleasure. The founder of the cult, the guru, rules the cult and orders members to comply with his own wishes and ambitions, as absurd as they may be. Even if what I say is a lie, you have nothing to lose by following this way of living.
