I want to start a cult

I want to start a cult.
I have always wanted to start my own religious group and I thought who better to ask for ideas then you sick fucks? What should I base my Cult around should it start small and start to become more distinct later? should I piggy back off my own religion or create something unique. how should I induct people and how do I get my first two to help spread the message. Am I an Anti-Christ for wanting to lead people astray? I want to become a Bigger cult leader then pic related.

I was an ordained minister for about three years, had my own small congregation. Its not super hard.

>Figure out your message, beliefs, codes, laws, ect.
>get a small group of people together
>create a sense of family between you and your people
>be involved in the community
>do charity shit
>be there for people who come to you
>listen to them, talk to them
>make sure their physical needs are met
>always thanks to what your group "follows"

the majority of people want a sense of family, community, and stability. Most religions and cults have this at their core. Everything else is just kind of built on top of that

Base it around Lord Kek

Read up on Jim Jones pre-Jonestown and Shoko Asahara. They pretty much figured out the secret to getting people to follow you.

I've been in the upper ring of a cult for quite some time now. the biggest thing you gotta remember is that its not really exciting. its just work. and if you don't have an endgame its mostly just pointless work. you can make some money out of it but its pretty intense.

think less about the stupid mythology you want to build and more about why you expect people to believe it. the leader of our cult not only hit it hard but also worked it in a way that the government didnt have need or reason to track us. not sure if he intended all this but he certainly learned well over his 40 years of leading.

Its Not about the cash for me I come from money. Think of it more as an Open playground for social experiments. I'm Married and my wife has agreed to play along if I can get something started. I just want to test my vision for living and see if it is viable.

then you have a vision and have potential to get great joy out of it.

first and foremost, what you gotta do is prey on an already exisiting group. If you find people who feel somewhat inferior in some way its prettyeasy to convince them that they are in fact special. For instance, people in AA. start going to AA meetings, and when it comes time to talk, talk. but instead of whining about your own life, have a mini speech prepared about the struggles of alcoholism for people who so 'spiritual' that they feel the need to dull thier spiritual side by drinking.

this will bring people to you with more questions after the fact.

when asked you never say you are a prophet or a leader or any of that shit. say you're a psychic. psychics are recognized as 'not a threat' by the government and instead of a 'congregation' or a 'cult' you have a 'business'.

offer people free 20 minute readings as needed. having one on one time is essential to getting these people into your group. once you have a large enough group of people who enjoy your work, try holding lectures. this is an easy way to get people who are not in something like AA to start joining your group. lectures should be cheap and ideally 'free' for newcomers. you can talk about anything. giving general life advice with a dash of mythology is what makes people keep coming. the mythology tantilizes them, but hearing real advice and spiritual 'rules' (most of which you can just pull from psychology textbooks) makes them feel like they get osmething important out of it.

then you begin working on books, simple tiny 8x6 books covering topics, but start to throw in more and more mythology to satiate the people looking for answers in the universe.

this isn't even covering the potential that social media has if you embrace it, but my cult was started 40 years ago so they barely used it.

>8x6 books
Oh shit homemade tracts

Ill join your cult if you can promise me all the pussy i can eat

Bump

i wanna be the next jim jones so fucking badly. getting idiots to start a religion because of me is a major bucklet list item. and like said. I'm not doing this for any money gains. No man, I just wanna try all the twisted shit I've thought in my head on people and actually get away with it.

You can't be the next Jim Jones because Jim Jones genuinely cared about helping people.

This Guy Gets what I mean. That complete control and ability to socially mold people to how I like them. I think I would start off idealistic but would slowly clamp down on certain things just to test the strings on my puppets. Imagine how much the Mormon Prophet who banned coffee and tea was laughing when everyone stopped drinking it because he told them so.

Nigger what?

You're asking on Sup Forums so you'll never amount to anything, let alone having a group of people care about you.

Read a book nigger

Aim low, go for people who have nothing to gain.

Watch shameless (season 6 or 7) for more clues

This my nigga. I wanna come up with shit to the point years later people still do them and have no fucking idea why. A cult that becomes as mindlessly worshiping as Christianity is right up my alley

Funnily enough you two have the exact mentality that lets actually smart people brainwash you into drinking cyanide at their command.

You must seriously be deluded if you think Jones was actually trying to help ppl. At first yes, but once he moved them to jonestown it turned into a dictatorship to the point politicians were killed for trying to stop it. Learn facts nigger.

and I'm sure you'll be the faggot whose gonna drink it right after me. lol as if your faggot ass is cut from a different cloth

>but once he moved them to jonestown
So you're just ignoring the like 8 years before that where he actually got his following?

user you're trying way too hard.

Even watching his american congregations he is obviously talking about himself as god. he started with good intentions but went off the rails pretty fast.

He was doublespeeking to the genuinely religious people and the people there because of his socialist rhetoric.

This thread is full of some very depressed and moronic people. You’re not television super villains or meniacal masterminds for doing this type of thing. People by nature are spiritual and will follow, not because they’re stupid but because they’re born searching. Basically what I’m saying is you’re not a genius for telling a thirsty person you’ll give them a bottle of water if they do your bidding. Do something useful with your lives

I wish i was a cult
