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?

      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

          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

      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”.
