Cults I'd Join
Ever see that oddly identical group of people all cramming into a sketchy van or disappearing into rural land, and think to yourself, "I'd like to see what goes on in there..."? Whether you'd put on the matching outfit and dive on in, or just opt to be a fly on the wall, Cults I'd Join takes you to the inside as hosts Ameran and Jesse discuss the pros and cons of each group, what makes them tick, and whether or not they'd join. Join a new cult with us for an hour or so at a time. It's all the zany fun of cult joining, with none of that pesky commitment or potentially really bad decisions!

This story isn't over yet, but we're hoping it's at least hit it's peak problematic-ness by now. This week we're devotees of James A Ray (of The Secret fame), and we're hopping on the roller coaster that is his rise and fall. See you at the hot-coal-walking party, but DONT do anything else if he asks you!

20th Century feral is exactly how I wish to be described in any future Dateline episode, and it's also exactly how the Freedomites would insist you see them. They are out in these streets worshipping God, marching naked into cities, breaking shared bread, bombing structures of modernity, wearing fabulous farm clothes when they feel like it, and burning down literally anything they don't like. In short, I'm inviting t...
This week we are all Doukhobors, which is to say, we are Anarchist, Christian, not into the Bible, all about that Borscht, and we wear traditional clothes unless we are naked, because both are cool, depending on things which you wouldn't understand if you are not one of us.

We're headed to the Scottish woodlands to join a lost African Tribe, and the outfits alone are worth the journey! See you under the trees-- and bring some twine to make your fern hat!

Seeing the face of God is pretty great. Living in a tipi while operating a global drug ring and helping everyone else to see the face of God (for a few hours) too? Even better. Let's join the Brotherhood of Eternal Love, AKA the "hippie mafia," where the fashion is 60's fab, and YES, of course there are orgies.

You know I love me some sister wives! This week we are joining the Apostolic United Brotherhood, also known as the AUB. They're pretty great at commune-ing, hit-or-miss with leader picking, but most importantly, THERE ARE SOME SUPER SPECIAL UNDIES. See you over at the AUB for frolics, scandal, great food, and murder!

Happy hot season from over here in the lush and overgrown Ozarks-- we are celebrating summer by joining a desert community that has all the weird aesthetics, lack of rules, and abundant community parties we could ever want. PLUS, it's just about free in every way, and the outfits are Mad-Max-Chic! See ya'll over at Slab City, AKA the last free place!

If you like vegan food, zero healthy boundaries, and exactly one color from the color wheel, then we just found the right commune for you! See you over in the deep Ozarks for a day of joining the Nahziryah Monastic Community, or as the locals know them, the Purple People!

In the land of culty-cults, Children of God is a heavy-weight. They have a LONG history with a trail of damage behind them, but the look like a lot of fun from the street corners, so grab your tambourine and a very healthy set of boundaries while we explore this one together. *A not to be ignored trigger warning for SA and really unhappy kids.

This week we are joining the Africa Family of Philadelphia, better known as MOVE. The best part of MOVE? It's not an acronym. It's a descriptor of their life path, and we dig it. However, it caused them a lot of problems on the way, so let's talk about it! And yes, we will also spend some time planning to free Mumia Abu Jamal.

Buddhafield is a lot of fun if you don't count the downward-dog-man guru. Let's do some yoga with the members, talk community and enlightenment, and then burn the whole thing down! Metaphorically speaking. Anyway, they leave us with some good questions, some great stories, and a lot to ponder.

Strict patriarchy? Check. Ordained by God? Double check. Bottomless beer and a horse for every baby? Chickety-chickety check. Padanaram is a mix of great potlucks, bomb-ass parties, a lot of praying, and a hierarchy not to be messed with. It's also the tale of a community who has given itself the grace to shift course, adjust self-identity, and evolve through many iterations over its 6-decades-and-still-going history. Let&...

If you're into exclusively surface level LOVELY aesthetics and have NO concern about behind the scenes problems, long term consequences, or nazi underbellies, then this is the group for you! Don't go to the potluck if you're gluten-free though, because that place will be CRAWLING with sourdough!

Are you into lizard people and magic rocks and an impending apocalypse with a little bit of the Bible sprinkled on top? Then get over here, buddy, this fairly dangerous cult is for you! Also, don't join this group if you enjoy leaving your basement, but DO join if you too are suspicious of the constellation Orion!
