what do you do when a friend begins to slip towards a cult? https://t.co/ZkaRPon7Ce

cults are wild because that person still exists in your life, but it’s like they’re completely gone, taken by the spirit

unless it’s an emergency or intervening would be effective, sit with them, listen to them, understand them https://t.co/j7naDhVxCm

put the immediate, urgent, crushing need of yours to fix them aside. grieve their potential loss if you need to because otherwise, your need to avoid feeling that outcome will be stronger than any real need of theirs https://t.co/spqzC6mgtP

one of the hardest things is loving someone without trying to save them, because of the capacity it requires to grieve the pain they will probably experience

treat them as an individual, not someone you have put into the category, "is in cult, and has to be removed cult"

as far as i can tell, people fall into cults because they are missing one of the following things - love and people - visibility of their soul - status, excitement, belonging - hope - a recognition of their vast underground pain and the cults are the best match for those things
