Was it really a cult?

Seeing as it seems the topic of the day Bubblews and discussions of kind of reminds me of a cult where all the old members who got out are searching for each other ( not a bad thing,) but only someone who had been involved would understand the hurt or the disapointment or the memory.
It even had its own language.
Does anyone else think that way?

Me too, but that's okay. I don't feel silly about it, but I didn't see it coming or I would have migrated here long before I finally did.

Bubblews was the best in the beginning. We were all so innocent, so full of hope and happiness! I still remember when Bubblews started not paying and that idiot Arvind started writing those off-the-wall posts to convince us to keep writing, that the site was doing great. What a total creep he was.

having been in a cult I'm not sure if it is quite the same - I guess if we had strong regular interaction with writers on Bubbles we hope that ill resurface here both as a reuinion and a way to generate stronger income from this site quickly too though it will never pay out as Bubbles did at its peak

Was inactive when it was closing/disappearing. Don't like to think that I was an unwillimg member of a cult. Maybe not a cult really.

I've been involved in a church that some thought to be a cult, but I disagreed with their determination. Thankfully, many of us left that one to join one that wasn't so into rules, so we've been able to hang together still.
I never considered bubblews a type of cult. I wasn't hurt, or disappointed, but I do still have great memories and made long-lasting friends. Course only if they happen to write on sites that I frequent. I can't say I wasn't disappointed when it crashed and burned without them letting us get our posts out easily, but such is life.
If we had our own language it was rather limited in scope don't you think?

@MarshaMusselman That happens a lot. The one I was involved in began well too.

@Jackalyn The one I was a part of was worldwide, so it could be. It was the Way International. The person that began it was right on, it was a few people that later took it over that began making people adhere to rules that weren't biblical.
