Being a hormonal teenager with low self confidence means I REALLY got into stuff if I liked it. That was the peak time to sign up for a cult but other than being a massive fan girl of everything I swerved cults.
My mum and dad did buy a new Hoover in the 90s to get the free holiday and had go go to cult-like timeshare meetings as a result. My mum and her boyfriend accidentally were locked into a pub during an IRA meeting which could seem a bit cult like if youâre not allowed to leave. And I was stuck in a van/hotel/in the outback with 2 ex convicts and no way out once I realised and whilst this wasnât a cult I had to sort of play along that I didnât know (and look away whenever the driver opened the glovebox to reveal a gun) so it was the closest I can think.

But in regards to the latter me and my friend had to lock ourselves in the bathroom and sleep in there one night because the company that sent us all on the road trip only booked one room for all 4 of us. So actually that was closer to being in a horror film really.
Edit: the company were just 2 guys who sent us collecting for charity outside supermarkets in remote towns and we once discovered a room in their office or house or whatever weird set up it was that was quite literally filled with porn magazines and videos. This is getting far more sinister in retrospect than I thought at the time. The company was called Western Australia Deaf Recreation Society if anyone is thinking which companies to never work for in their lives.
One of my best friends was their manager during this period of time (and until pretty recently) and I think the fan cult for this was one of the most culty I have ever witnessed! Another friend of mine got sucked in and was shooting up heroin into his groin and between his toes in a matter of weeks. (I was maybe a wee bit in the cult too).

Someone I went to university with, her dad ran a cult - one of those evangelical Christian ones that mainly targets African immigrants. There were a couple of blogs from escapees detailing how the church fleeced members of all their money, which suddenly made all the trips to 5* central London hotels her family took make a bit more sense. Think he went to prison in the end.
A guy my friend dated was also sucked in like this! He went on tour with them as their âofficial tattoistâ lol. He was really bad at tattooes and the next time I saw him he just looked like had done a ton of heroin and his shop on Oldham St shut down soon after.
