"The Law of Assumption isn't a cult!" Mmm, are you sure about that?

Let's take a look at some red flags it checks off...

☑ The founder's ideas are considered infallible, despite the founder's incredibly dubious behavior.

☑ Claims that its beliefs can be traced back through the ages and cites known holy texts, but examination of these texts reveals that they really have nothing to do with the ideas promoted by the founder.

☑ Claims that modern science supports its claims, but examination of actual current scientific knowledge shows that it does not actually back them up.

☑ The beliefs and practices can supposedly never fail the followers; followers can only fail the beliefs and practices.

☑ Followers are told to suppress their doubt and their critical thinking skills. People who ask critical questions are shamed and invalidated.

☑ Fabulous results are promised, such as curing serious illness or becoming wealthy in a short time. But there is no reliable evidence of these fabulous results, and people who ask for it are shamed.

☑ Alleged "evidence" that this is all absolutely true in exactly the way its founder/follows claim includes unverifiable anecdotes and events easily explained through psychology or random chance, and the kind of photos that are very easy to stage, fake, or steal.

☑ Dehumanization. Everyone Is You Pushed Out effectively claims that other people lack true agency and interiority, and are essentially mere puppets you can control however you please.

☑ Followers are "free to leave," but there is still a powerful sense of shame, failure, and general wrongness attached to actually leaving.

☑ Ex-followers report being disrespected, abused, and suffering lasting harm from the way they were treated and from the beliefs they internalized.

☑ Ex-followers who talk about their negative experiences get invalidated and demonized, and are accused of harboring bitterness, anger, or jealousy.

☑ Questioning followers are told to completely ignore critics and ex-members.

It's not accurate to say that the Law of Assumption and its community isn't a cult because it doesn't line up 1:1 with something like Jonestown or NXIVM. Cults come in all forms, and the Law of Assumption and its community have more than enough to qualify. Don't believe me? Then don't take my word for it; start researching modern cults for yourself. The information's out there.

For anyone reading this: If you are leaving or questioning the Law of Assumption and need help, please see this post.

Wednesday: Enid is very respectful of my bodily autonomy.

Enid: Yes. I always inspect her body’s anatomy.

Wednesday: She exhibits restraint—

Enid: Love those restraints.

Wednesday: — and desires consent.

Enid: Yup! My desire is constant. Like, all the time. It’s totes distracting.

Bianca: 😧

Bianca: Addams, I know we don’t always see eye to eye, but… have you two thought about boundaries?

Wednesday: Of course. We like to test them.

Enid: Constantly!

Wednesday: Exhaustively.

Enid: In fact, I can now fit—

Bianca: INTERPERSONAL boundaries!

Enid: As if! I’ll have you know that I enter her person all the time.

Wednesday: Truly. In fact, if you weren’t in this room right now—

Bianca: *covers ears* Oh my fucking god. I’m in Hell. This is actual fucking Hell.

After months of work (and mostly procrastination) i finally finished Ed's *kraken era* earring. It was a challenge as I had to base myself on a bunch of moving pixels but I think it turned out nicely. It's made in gold plated bronze, with mother-of-pearl.

It's available on my Etsy shop, you can get yours! (It's made to order btw)

It really is sad knowing that everyone thinks we’re a big red flag to people. It makes me a bit angry because it also makes it hard to make friends or have any relationship with people. I wish more people would understand that we aren’t trying to by creepy, overshare, or mean by being direct. It’s just how we are. Why can’t they accept and understand that?

He may be a bad guy but that's my babygirl🫶🏾 Yes, he committed multiple crimes, should be locked up in jail, and is a red flag but he's hot as fuck with a face card that never declines.
