Growing up in cults can create a strange and illogical world that suppresses questioning. Cults are more prevalent than commonly thought, with some managing to avoid scrutiny. In recent times, keeping cult activities discreet is more challenging due to heightened awareness and accessibility of information. Cults historically attracted individuals seeking an alternative to societal turmoil and chaos, offering a sense of love and belonging that could lead to entrapment. Awareness of cult dynamics has increased over time, making it harder for cults to recruit and retain members unnoticed.
