One of the drivers behind tackling 'belief' at Writing the Occult was our ongoing fascination with why people are drawn to conspiracy theories, so we asked the crew to share the theories and cults that capture their attention. Here's what poet (and 2x cult survivor) Ella Snyder told us: 🧵⬇️

What's it actually like being in a cult? Not the sensationalist headlines - the actual experience? Ella Snyder survived not one but TWO cults, and we are blessed that she will share her story with us at Writing the Occult. Ella found writing literally saved her life. Meet her ⬇️

I don't hate them.
I hate the grift and the preying on people's desperation for immortality.
I hate the covering up of crimes because of how it would look on the church.
I hate the hypocrisy. "Do as I say, not as I do."
I don't get easy people who work for a God they've never met or seen, and don't get paid for it.
I hate the ignorance. The teaching children others not like them are their enemies and they're God's soldiers." #religion #CultSurvivor

It wasn't so much the church I grew up in that was culty. My family took the admittedly problematic teachings of that church to the extreme. In this thread I'm gonna try to talk about some of my experiences. I will be referencing former cult member and cult expert Dr. Janja Lalich (https://www.janjalalich.com).
Migrated servers mainly due to #fedipact reasons, so new #introduction time.
Raised in a cult. #CultSurvivor
I believe in equality, and that the system itself is rigged. #leftist
The planet is dying, and we killed it on purpose. #ClimateEmergency
I was raised to be a hateful, closed-minded person, but I'm doing everything I can to undo all of that indoctrination. I'm constantly learning, so when I mess up, please be patient and correct me if you can.
I love everything #science, but especially #rewilding, #environment, and #climate. I enjoy learning about #selfhosted, #foss, and #linux. Learned just enough about #DataScience before dropping out to be dangerously incompetent. #FuckCars
I love my header so much, shout out to Jack Chick for unintentionally creating the most goddamn based images

I learned that the reason why black men could not receive the #priesthood was pure #racism. I learned that the #mormonchurch is a #racist, #misogynistic organization that does not deserve the loyalty of its members - so I #resigned my membership. #whyileft #leavingchurch #exmo https://wasmormon.org/profile/jean-bodie/ #exmormon #cultsurvivor #ldschurch #mormon

I was a #mormon. I now find peace in #meditation, #travel, connecting with my kids instead of seeking to control/indoctrinate them.

This is an excellent video and so true!
One of the worst things about cults like #JehovahsWitnesses is the stifling of human potential.
For anyone who is alone for Christmas, has been cast aside, kicked out, shunned by family and friends, has lost a loved one this year, if you can't wait for this day to be over, I hear you, please feel free to reach out to me. This day might be sucky but like the ever changing seasons, the sun may well shine again tomorrow. The songs say we should be jolly, but we don't have to make ourselves merry today. For everyone else, merry Christmas. #JoinIn #aLGBTQIA #Ex-JW #CultSurvivor #Grief
These discussions are healthy, they provide deep reflection and introspection into difficult topics, and we have a space where we are happy, vibrant, and authentic.

Howdy neighbours, I'm new around these parts 😂
By way of introduction, my name is Riley and I used to be one of #JehovahsWitnesses.
I "toot" about #Cults, #CultRecovery, #Religion #Atheism, #CriticalThinking, and everything in between.
The video below tells my whole story of growing up in a high control religion and then leaving.
