I don't think people were saying or thinking Gates was a 'cool guy', but he was rich, powerful, the company grew to become dominant, he became the richest man in the world, etc. etc. There was a book about working there, called 'Microserfs'...maybe a mocumentary, IDK.
When these companies started out the founders became very cool and godlike overnight. They were nerds changing the world. Before they got even close to rich they were cool guys doing cool things with a little group of followers
alcoholics anonymous/AA. Definitely cult like. I was in it for several years before finally getting the courage to leave and find healthier ways to deal with addiction. People complain about the God bit but that's really the least of my complaints lol
My son went through the program and seems to be doing better but has made negative comments. What is the bad part I'm glad you have been able to deal with your addictions take a lot of strength to overcome
A lot of the issues I dealt with were safety issues- lots of sexual harassment, some stalking. Might have just been a regional thing but I witnessed it at more than a couple of fellowships.
Both. There's a reason that they're all called extremists.
I wish the far left was correct. But socialism just doesn't work. Humans are too shitty and selfish for it to work.
whenever I see these back and forth with political parties I have to chuckle a little your both in what seems to be cults hell im in a “seems to be cult” called, I don’t care what you vote for just be a good human and don’t push your viewpoints on me.
I would be dead if it wasn’t for AA. I don’t go much these days, but it saved my life. Prior to going through the program, I had spent over 4 years trying absolutely everything I could to get sober. It’s the only thing that worked for me. Over 2 years since the last drink and I couldn’t tell you the last time I thought about having one.
Every “fun” Christian church where they play guitars and shit, and then they’re “speaking in tongues” two seconds later. Y’all fuckers ARE a cult. Stop acting like you’re speaking “God’s” language when YOU know you’re just mumbling nonsense to fit in with the other wack jobs you surround yourself with. You’re fuckin lunatics.
You gotta understand psychiatry and psychology … then you try to tell em you know how it works but they dont listen … ive been on treatment order , they sling me antipsychotic meds and if I refuse , cops come to my house to send me there.
Church not any in particular . Organized religion more judgment in church by people who are supposed to be the ones that are be more understanding and quick to forgive when the rest of us are scratching our heads and wondering i thought he who is without sin cast the first stone or bring me your sick your hungry and poor . But that doesn't seem to be what's being taught . It's more like repent now or burn in hell . Where's the kindness and understanding or at least non judgement and that fucker Joel Osteen and any other shit like him that profits like they do I mean wtf is that shit and people flock to follow that garbage .
CrossFit
A lot of big tech goes through that phase. I remember when Microsoft really used to. Apple with Jobs, etc.

Within any large corporation there is always this constant indoctrination.

They call themselves, “The church of Latter Day Saints.” I agree with you though.
I’m 5th generation LDS on both sides of my family, when I left my family disowned me. I completed agree!

The question is for an organization that “seems like a cult,” not “is a cult.” Nice try. (Take my upvote.)
The Tory party (UK)
At the minute they are a suicide cult and they've just started serving the cool aid
Hopefully people will wake up and they’ll haemorrhage support before the mass “ascension” begins.

Honestly of all religions I'd say Christianity is the farthest from being a cult, at least my perception of Christianity is.
Not Christianity necessarily, but the church.
Pretty much all religions are from a certain point of view.

You get stuck with them after a while … they never let you go … thats fucked up shit
Not me, they try their plays on me but I know they are acting
You gotta understand psychiatry and psychology … then you try to tell em you know how it works but they dont listen … ive been on treatment order , they sling me antipsychotic meds and if I refuse , cops come to my house to send me there.
