You’re pointing to how they reinforce each other: emotional unawareness leaves manipulation unrecognised, and normalised manipulation keeps people from questioning how they handle one another’s emotions. Someone can absorb those habits, experience them themselves, and then reproduce them.

My distinction between intention and awareness didn’t address your central point: a person doesn’t have to consciously intend exploitation to participate in it or cause harm. “I didn’t realise” doesn’t erase what happened to the person on the receiving end.

They aren’t identical concepts, but they can operate together in exactly the cycle you’re describing.

And just like this one, even another ad that I just skipped was an ad from a church group. It’s, yeah, this church group is like, Oh, when I first moved into a new town, I felt alone, and there was no one that I could talk to. That is using someone’s sense of loneliness and belongingness, which is a normal aspect of moving into anywhere new. But not even, not everyone does feel alone in a new place. But it also is about the fact that not all that are lonely should go in a church with these individuals. They are clearly heavy on recruiting. They call a missionary, but Jesus never spent— it’s Church of Jesus Christ, they call it. But Jesus Christ never spent a day in a church. So it is a cult about Jesus Christ. It is not religion, it’s a cult, and it is based on the thing that’s been worshiped. Their churches are a cult. This church in particular cult about Jesus Christ. Majority are cult about the Bible, whether First Testament or Second Testament, but they’re all that. And the ways in which this one specifically is so heavy on marketing just to have people walk into their doors, I beg the question: for what? To do what? Someone can have their own relationship with God, like Jesus Christ did, outside of the church. They don’t need to go to the church, but they’re inadequate, incapable of actually teaching that or speaking about that. No, instead they want to recruit. That is just so sad. So sad that people these days are so adept, so normalized to just manipulate people’s emotions to get whatever they want. And people are just okay with it. That’s the biggest thing. People, it’s okay with them. It is okay— sorry. It’s okay for them because they’re also doing it. We’re all doing it. And that’s basically because people aren’t emotionally aware. They’re not emotionally literate. And then there’s also the fact that society allows it. Society is built upon sales, so it’s no wonder that everyone uses sales to interact with each other these days. It doesn’t matter where you are, what it is about, what the topic of discussion is. Everyone uses sales because that’s the only way that they’ve learned how to engage with people, raise impulse or whatever. Like even when I found a housing, the person was like, Are you happy? And I was like, I’m satisfied. Like my priority isn’t the ways a place is. It’s the fact that I have one first. Secondly, happiness is a societal concept. I prefer satisfaction because there’s too many people that are happy but not satisfied. So the two don’t go hand in hand. And it’s just the lack of emotional awareness that allows everyone to just walk on everyone else’s emotions. Like, it’s just crazy and sad at the same time.

There’s also the fact that so many are so emotional about things that are so superficial or fictionalosed. I don’t understand how human have gotten themselves to be so emotionally attached to fiction, it stripped them off of the desire for real. If this was socially engineered, good job, mission accomplished. It worked perfectly. People would regurgitate things without even challenging them across the board, as chakkenging something against itself ain’t a challenge, it’s a dissection, the challenge is across the board the yaxis existsnfor a reason.

On Jesus, there is a historical distinction: the Gospel accounts describe him teaching in synagogues and attending the Temple, although he did not attend a modern Christian church. Your broader point remains a theological argument worth making: an institution shouldn’t present itself as the necessary owner or gatekeeper of someone’s relationship with God.

And your housing example adds something important: you wanted your circumstances understood before being asked to produce a celebratory emotion. “I’m satisfied” expresses that a concrete need has been met. Happiness and satisfaction can overlap, but neither guarantees the other. The person asking may simply have intended kindness; still, you’re entitled to describe your own experience without having it translated into the emotion someone expects.

….

Yeah well Jesus did a lot that those who put themselves in teaching situation don’t, so unless they are christ frequency they will lead the people astray. No one is qualified to teach like Jesus, as non has the heart of Jesus, so why the hell are there priests and whatnot if not to represent the cult religion is…. if their hearts were as light as a feather, we would see much more changes in the world and less missionaries. People would crowd for jesus, he wasn’t looking for followers, he found them on his journey and they’d walk with him.

The description of a cult fits, the simple fact we created two different linguistic wordings to sepratae them, doesn’t actually seprates them

The thread connecting your examples is turning a human need into a means of persuasion. Loneliness becomes an opening for recruitment; compassion becomes an opening for donations; insecurity becomes an opening for a sale. Your criticism is about what happens when someone recognises a feeling primarily as an opportunity to obtain something from the person experiencing it.

….

Remember I have practiced all that I am holding accountable to understand both sides. I account for self and don’t fear exposure, I’m not like you. I’m no hypocrite, it is part of the job to understand all that goes into something, and God sends me the aspects I wouldn’t test in others so that I can see them from the outside, feel their energies from the within and interrogate them on its embodiments.

Unfortunately ignorance doesn’t fit me, but it’s a custome that everyone else wears throughout the year, but only exposes on Halloween the depths of it.

Your argument is that spiritual authority should come from the way someone lives and treats people—not simply from a title, an institution, or knowledge of scripture. As you’re using “Christ frequency,” it means embodying the compassion and integrity they claim to teach. Calling oneself a representative of Jesus doesn’t establish that.

That makes your criticism of recruitment more specific: if someone promises spiritual care, but makes belonging conditional on allegiance, whose needs are they actually serving? The institution’s growth cannot, by itself, demonstrate the quality of its care.

And you’re right about the linguistic point: giving two things different names does not prove that their practices are different. “Religion” cannot serve as an automatic exemption from scrutiny for manipulation, coercion or exploitation. Those behaviours need examining wherever they occur.

Where I’d retain a distinction is that shared features—devotion, rituals, teachers, recruitment—don’t establish that every community exercises the same control. The revealing questions are what happens when someone disagrees, refuses to give money, maintains outside relationships, or leaves. Can they do those things without threats, humiliation or losing access to support?

Your standard challenges the claimed authority directly: if you speak in the name of love, people should experience that love even when they decline to follow you.

…..

Well, we already know that the religion, the religious people, don’t know how to extend compassion if not to their own, look at lgbt kids and how many were killed, abused, tried to be converted in inhumane ways…. borning like that is the most natural thing that could ever exist, because someone borns like that. The religious individuals aren’t as open-minded as Jesus Christ was. They don’t sit with sinners. They are the sinners because of it.
