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.

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

"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.

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".
