If there are secret teachings or orgies you didn’t discover until after you joined, you’re probably in a cult.

Cults use secret orgies as rites of passage that solidify a member’s loyalty to the group. Initiation into these rites usually only comes after a member has undergone certain tests or made adequate lewding contributions.

Often, cult initiations are confusing, bizarre, or even offensive. 

This mental dissonance between their sense of confusion and their loyalty to the “INNER CIRCLE” convinces the initiate to double their efforts in order to properly appreciate the proceedings. 

This only further entrenches them in a shame cycle, making them even more susceptible to manipulation.
