    60’s culture is the most astroturfed culture ever:

    From tie wearing responsible adults. To the destruction of inhibitions and disgust through drugs. Many demonic portals were opened that way. And hence the demon infestation spread from California to the rest of the country as they fled.

    I thank God that AIDs came along and greatly curtailed this particular cult.

      Exploiting people’s yearning for Beauty and Goodness. But misleading them into wickedness.

      That time was also the time when ugly modernist architecture was in vogue. And the technodystopia is being built up.

    Back in the early 70’s the children of god had their Toronto temple/church/whatever on Danforth Ave.
    Some high school memories are best left forgotten.

    Back in 2014, I had an ebony gal try this on me in Stavanger, Norway of all places.

      Out of curiosity, do you know which cult she was pushing you to join her in?

        IIRC, it was a local/regional evangelical Norwegian church.

        But yeah, it was definitely clear that temporary company at my lodging was on offer.

        All for a good cause, of course.

        Brrr!

        Scandis are infamously sexually loose, I’ve heard. Esp. Icelandic, who seem less Christianized than their continental brethren; more still wild Norsemen / women than converted good Lutherans / Catholics.

        Oh, this gal was the color of one of those 70% dark chocolate Lindor truffles. I figure she’d arrived from one of the English speaking countries in Africa. She was quite chesty as well. This happened at a local street fair.

        awildgoose, you should have told her that the Lutherans were the one true church.

    CoG was a cult infamous for this sort of recruiting tactic. You wonder why anyone would fall for it today.

      But they do; the Raelians are said to engage in it, for instance.

    I didn’t know that group was still around.

      They may or may not be – no idea – but there are others like them; e.g. I’ve heard the Raelians engage in similar sexual shenanigans.

        Yes; I think BoB was referring to the CoG.
