Hi Will,

Hi Matt!

OK, there are two things you can do. One is to find websites that list organizations that are a cult. It might be already well known. If not, tell the moderators about it and have it put on the list.

The other thing is to make a couple dozen flyers and put them strategically around the city where the kids are. No kid wants to feel duped and will give the place a side-eye after seeing a “Warning: Cult!” flyer.

I mean my attitude is Yes, live and let live. But if my inner alarms are going off, and red flags are everywhere, Knowledge is Power. If a kid wants to join a cult or cult-like organization with both eyes open, fine. But I would want to give the people a heads up simply because I am part of the community. The organization has to earn the community’s trust and act legit (drop the outrageous prices, charismatic leaders and hypnotism of our young people).

P.S. I once met a woman whose sister had been part of a cult. The woman had mob connections (this was back in the 70s/80s) and the mob got the sister out. Yes, it was one of *Those* cults where they sequester the family members away, and they had the sister’s daughter too.

OK, Good Luck Will!

Inky
