>>2959110I started this thread under the assumption that it was a clever troll. At first I laughed to myself, at the sheer rediculousness of what Nathan was saying in his e-mails. But then it started to get weird. It started to get creepy. Creepy as in oh-no-I-just-got-chills-down-my-back-maybe-if-I-turn-around-Nathan-will-be-standing-there-ready-to-s
tab-me-with-a-knife. I'm still trying to decide if reality is more rewarding than an epic troll...
Anyways, I'm kind of annoyed at your reaction (or lack thereof) to all of this... As soon as it started getting disturbing, you should have told somebody. Anybody. Your parents, his parents, the police, JUST SOMEBODY because this is your friend and if you really cared about him you would have gotten him help.
At least now he's out of the cult. But it can't be assumed that he's safe yet. I'm suprised that you would even have to ask a place like 4chan for advice on such a serious topic like this. What did you expect, really?
At this point, to guarantee the safety of himself, yourself, your friends, everyone you love, hell maybe even to track down and stop this cult, you should definitely meet with him and discuss contacting the police. I can understand not wanting to meet him alone, so go somewhere with him that is around a lot of people. JUST MEET HIM, AND GET HIM HELP. He needs it. You do also.
