I always read stories about what’s going on in Gloriavale, and I quite enjoy videos of random communities abroad as well. Other than Gloriavale what other fringe communities exist in NZ?

Here’s a website - cults.co.nz - not looked at it in much detail, but it seems to have lots of info.

That website seems to be run by someone with... very specific ideas.

Their glossary defines several beliefs about god, including atheism, as "a false belief".

[-] Ward@lemmy.nz 3 points 1 year ago

Lmao they have a "False religion" key, so any religion what isn't Christianity falls under that key.

Also this... "Abortion - There is probably no greater danger to New Zealanders than abortion. The physical danger to babies is obvious"

Keyed as a cult

A shame it's from the Christian lense, I feel like it would be a lot more balanced from a non-religious perspective

[-] Ward@lemmy.nz 2 points 1 year ago

Don't need to say "I feel", deffo would be more balanced if the list of cults wasn't written by someone in a cult

"I don't want to gatekeep people culting ... But those guys are full of shit" - *flicks hair all sassy-like

Wow there is some pretty whacky groups and people on the list. Love that they’ve for the advance + freedom parties there too.
