Summary
The story NXIVM is about a self-help group that was later revealed to be a cult involved in sex trafficking and other criminal activities. The group was founded by Keith Raniere, who attracted wealthy and influential members, including actresses and heiresses, to join his organization. Members were influenced through intensive courses and were forced to follow strict rules and rituals. They were also forced to perform sexual acts and provide compromising material to be used as blackmail.
To avoid being recruited by a cult, you have to be cautious of groups that demand extreme commitment or offer unrealistic benefits. It is best to do thorough research on any organization or group before joining, gathering information from past members and seeking advice from trusted friends and family members. One should also be aware of the possibility of psychological manipulation and remain open to questioning any questionable beliefs or practices. Is best to be informed about a cult as it can lead you to be dead, in prison, etc.

Hi Julissa,
That’s an interesting story to read. It’s very heartbreaking that so many young women get strung along into these sex trafficking cults. I feel it is more common than we think, it just happens under the grid, so the few cults that do pop up are good to talk about. I agree it’s good to be informed about these kinds of things, it can save a life or yours.
