Aside from Gloriavale, what other weird/fringe groups do we have in New Zealand? (self.newzealand)

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?

I've met a few people from this doomsday cult. Pretty out there.

That wiki article got more nuts the further I read. How people still believe after all those failed prophecies is beyond me, and the idea that this group demands young female members meets Korean beauty standards is even crazier. Thanks for the share.

Yeah it's amazing especially meeting people who have likely never even been to Korea yet they are caught up in this thing.
