Join us... come join the cultA friend of mine recently floored me with the admission that he'd spent several years in Eastern Europe with the Moonies. And he seemed so normal. Have you or your mates disappeared into a cult? Now that the brain-washing has worn off, tell us all about it.

Well, I'm a born again Christiandoes that count?
I have a relationship with Jesus, speak in tongues, believe the Bible and worship Jesus and everything. I even hardly ever swear. And I recently grew a full on beardy beard (now gone).
But I used to be quite pushy about my faith, and spend lots of time trying to convert people and stuff. I even went to Bible College and started training to be a Pentecostal pastor...
I'm still down with the G.O.D (no, really - that's hhow some people put it) but I've learned not to be a patronising twonk now.
I still think everyone should follow Jesus, and that his sacrifice on the cross provided the only way for us to be forgiven and stuff, but I've learnt not to push Christian culture so much as just try and bring God's undemanding love where I can.
I think I lost a lot of the wierd pushiness when I discovered that all of the biblical references to Hell were actually just talking about death, rather than some eternal place of torment for everyone who doesn't believe in Jesus.
Anyway, sorry for the serious answer. Apologies for length etc.. (Even bible bashers can have long ones)
