I want to join a cult. Does anyone know of a really good one?

[undeterred]

:shrug:

[PassingFair]

1. I hear there are some openings over at Heaven's Gate

....now that the "away team" is gone.

[undeterred]

2. they were pretty far out

I was thinking more of a political cult... but it would have to have really cool tshirts and gear and stuff

[PassingFair]

11. How about this one:

The Democratic Leadership Cult, with
leader Al From.

I wish HE was on the "away team".

[undeterred]

13. Yuck.

I don't wanna be in that cult, evah.

[Rabrrrrrr]

3. Obama's got a hell of a cult going.

:popcorn:

[undeterred]

6. well I'm a sponsor for a fundraiser for him

but they haven't given me any cool stuff yet... or guaranteed me that I'll meet him. So far I am guaranteed that I get to go out after work in the minus five degree weather to hear a disco band. This is not my idea of a really cool cult.

Nobody does batshit-crazy quite as well as the Raelians.

[undeterred]

10. I like the clothes. Gotta have good clothes in a cult.

[Chovexani]

12. I don't know about cults

But I've got a harem.

[undeterred]

But the secret handshake is a fifth level secret.

[billyskank]

21. I can be a bit of a cu-

oh, cult.

[mitchum]

22. How do you feel about cowbells?

[Jamastiene]

24. You have impeccable timing.

I was just getting ready to start my own cult. Perhaps you could join mine. Do you have any aversion to running around naked by moonlight on chilly nights in autumn? :P

[undeterred]

25. Define chilly.

Its minus six in Wisconsin. I don't even take my clothes off to shower. :shrug:

[Orsino]

26. You can't.

Once you join it, by definition it's no longer a cult.

[undeterred]

27. Any cult that would have me as a member wouldn't be worth joining?

[hermetic]

28. Join mine, mine, mine.!

It's fresh, and new. Just put $$1000 in sealed envelope and send it to me, care of DU.

We'll soon be movin" and groovin"




Be sure to read fine print

[undeterred]

29. If I had $1000 I would put it in a sealed envelope and

not tell anyone where I am keeping the envelope.

30. IONS - Institute of Noetic Sciences

They are a nonprofit membership organization located in Northern California that conducts and sponsors leading-edge research into the potentials and powers of consciousness—including perceptions, beliefs, attention, intention, and intuition. The Institute explores phenomena that do not necessarily fit conventional scientific models, while maintaining a commitment to scientific rigor.

The vision for creating the Institute of Noetic Sciences came in 1971. Nations throughout the world had galvanized around the exciting frontier of space exploration. The potential for scientific understanding of our world seemed unlimited to a naval air captain named Edgar Mitchell. He was a pragmatic young test pilot, engineer and scientist; a mission to the moon on Apollo 14 was his "dream come true." Space exploration symbolized for Dr Mitchell what it did for his nation as a whole—technological triumph of historical proportions, unprecedented mastery of the world in which we live, and extraordinary potentials for new discoveries.

But it was the trip home that Mitchell recalls most. Sitting in the cramped cabin of the space capsule, he saw planet Earth floating freely in the vastness of space. He was engulfed by a profound sense of universal connectedness—an epiphany. In Mitchell's own words: "The presence of divinity became almost palpable, and I knew that life in the universe was not just an accident based on random processes. . . . The knowledge came to me directly."

There is some big money associated with this operation, and I think you would do well to associate with rich hobnobs then the unwashed of a run-of-the-mill cult members if you insist on joining one.

31. Interesting

And only $1 per month to try it out...


But I think you have to be rich to really get into it: http://www.shiftinaction.com/meet

[BrotherBuzz]

32. My Godfather is filthy rich and was a member from its inception

Now he just hang out around downtown Tiburon and bullshits with people like, say, Tom In Tiburon. I always enjoyed his vivid imagination, sense of humor, and his rich eclectic background in Episcopal, UCC, and Zen Buddhist wisdom. As they say: only in Marin.

:shrug:

[tigereye]

33. we Saturn owners would be glad to have you!

:rofl:


it's less cult-like than it used to be, though. There are no pics and happy circles when you purchase,anymore.

[undeterred]

35. Well thats still a step up from Volkswagen Beetle owners

who work on their own cars and talk about them incessantly. Dated a guy like that. It was embarrassing.

[tigereye]

39. Beetles are so cool, though! (the old Beetles, I mean)

I still miss the one we had in the 70s. One of my sibs wrecked it while he was looking at some young ladies.... :(

[LeftyMom]

36. Yeah, I almost forgot I was in a cult with that one.

Jeebus, how many cults am I in? :wtf:

[Fox Mulder]

38. How about the Catholic church?

:hide:

[undeterred]

44. Nah. Too many old men in charge.

[RainDog]

40. Church of the Subgenius, of course.

Oh shit.... actually, I think you might already be a member...

[sakabatou]

[Guava Jelly]

[undeterred]

45. How do I get that fancy thingey?

[Benfea]

46. Christianity is always recruiting.

If Christianity isn't your bag of tea, there are plenty of other religions out there.
