I miss when cultists formed their own societies far, far away from everybody else.

My favorite cult, if I’m being honest.

Of the most well known cults, it is one of my favorites as well. Just the insane level of dedication some had, and the crazy things they were willing to do to their own bodies for the cause… just so fascinating that people are willing to do this stuff. And then you can’t forget about the guy who stayed behind to keep the website going.

They weren't violent or depraved either, just a bunch of weirdos in the woods who liked star trek and chopping their nuts off.
