@@drake.707 Cyn is not stupid in any way. You obviously have an issue with reading comprehension. Many on RUclips do. She is simply stating that real life is scarier than fiction. Indeed, it is!! With all of the murders, rapes, assaults, brainwashing, kidnappings, and the like, how can it not be?!? People are effing crazy!
The last story made me sad and angry. Her poor little brother, only 2 or 3, sobbing from being so thirsty and hungry. 😞 It infuriates me to no end that someone would deliberately, intentionally starve their child and deny them drink. They don't deserve to be parents!!! 😤
I happen to be somewhat religious, but have dated many atheist. I'm not so much saying that's odd, I just find the idea of an atheist and a scientologist as a married couple very funny.
Well, technically, seismologists are atheists, the religion is non-theistic/atheistic, so its not that odd. But I assume you mean non-religious atheist, and if that's the case, ignore my little nit-pick.
Charlene Robertson No. Atheists aren't mentally challenged. No one is mentally challenged solely for one belief (or lack of it, in an atheist's case). Not to mention, there is no proof of God in the first place.
I really wanted to do a "True Cult Stories" video right around the time I collaborated with Lazy Masquerade for his Halloween Special on his page here -- goo.gl/I0naHB , so I'm happy I finally got to it, and hope you guys haven't heard these before. Also, as the page moves forward with a new head of steam, I wanted to encourage anyone with their own TRUE STORiES to send their SUBSCRiBER SUBMiSSIONS to my email at joelletroll101@gmail.com and I hope to read them in a future video. Thanks friends! :D
hey there thank you so much for these awesome stories!!! this makes the night shift go so much quicker (also scaring my coworkers😂) hope to hear more from this page. 😀💙
Lets Read! My wife and I really love not only your talents, stories of choice, and channel, but we also really do love the people here in the community/commentary section (other fans)... ...The Cult of Let's Read... !!! 🖤😉
I found these stories very interesting. Is it a cult or is it a church? Sometimes the line gets blurry. I have certainly attended churches that were "cultish", but i don't know where you actually draw the line. Dealing with institutions like that can be difficult to talk about after the fact, because people often treat you like your stupid for being a victim to a cult. There definitely is stigma that follows a person that has a history with cult.
Lets Read! I freaking love stories about cults! Thank you so much for this. You always have really original uploads. Keep up the amazing work I look forward to your videos!
my mom was brought up in a jahova's witness family. She denies that it was a cult, and abhors when I talk about cults even though she's no longer a part of that religion. You think those guys who come to the door are annoying? That shit is nothing. They had my mom so scared of the end times that she still has anxiety attacks when people bring up revalations. This is among other things that are too numerous to mention here.
bleachsanchoblastk jehovah's witnesses are not the only ones who go door to door by the way. I never see a witness come here I only get mormons and some other unknown religion which wouldn't say their name. Fyi I grew up as a witness as well.
Isn't the End Times a Biblical thing, not just a Jehovah's Witness thing? They're not exactly fear-mongerers, know what I'm saying? So this idea of them making yer mom so scared and anxiety-ridden seems more like a specific situation rather than a JW teaching meant to cause that
The story of the Korean run cult reminds me a lot of The Church of Ahn Sahng-hong. Another Korean cult that operates internationally as The World Mission Society Church of God. I got invited to a couple of their meetings. At first seemed innocent enough. They tried to convince me that worshiping on Sunday was sin and I thought they were Seventh Day Adventists. Then They invited me to Passover and things got weird. There was the stuff about all humans being fallen angels, the churches founder was the second coming of christ and etc. I noped out of that group fast
LR, your story of the Korean cult sounds very similar to the semi-cult that I survived. For I was involved with Jung SuWon for 5 yrs; a martial arts school with a very cult-like environment. Just like your story, the tae kwon do students pay unconditional obedience to the leader Tae Yun Kim, trusting her every word and action without question. And any student who does speak out differently, as I did, is immediately ridiculed and shamed, and often only given respect back after shameful apology and many acts of unpaid labor toward their operations. I almost thought you were describing the same person I once knew.
A few years ago I was listening to a Hell testimonials on RUclips and one person said that practicing martial arts would send you to Hell. English wasn't this person's first language so I suspected something got lost in translation. But still it left me a bit confused. But now after reading your testimonial I get it. I had no idea martial artists were so cultish regarding their leaders. Now I see what he meant. It isn't learning how to fight or defend yourself that sends you to Hell, it's the worship of someone or something other than placing your faith in Jesus blood.
See I don't know how to feel now. I do martial arts Taekwondo, but I don't worship anyone from it but Jesus. I'm also Christian. And seeing that I'd be sent to hell just from martial arts is odd to me.
@@jiuh6402 Some people get so deeply involved in martial arts that it becomes cultish and they may unwittingly begin making an "idol" out of the art itself and or those who presently teach it or have taught it. That's what sends them to hell.
They all broke my heart! The last one especially bc as a woman who had a really hard time conceiving and would give anything to have and love any child I was blessed with! The fact that all those children were abused and generally not being taken care of properly......theres a special place in hell for all those assholes!!!!! I'm sorry all these people went through these horrific moments! Also super proud to be a part of the let's read cult 🙌🏾🙌🏾😁😁
I'm in a support group and many narcissistic mothers practice religion to the extreme or join cults. The stories of those who have been caught in cults because of their NPD'ed mothers had the most gruesome torture stories. The most angering thing is that these people were crying for help and the police was saying the horrors cannot be real and never checked the claims. And in another support group there was a question related to vaginismus and yeah, sex negative backgrounds can play a huge role into that.
Every time I listen to this I get freaked out because the last story sounds exactly like a church I was part of as a kid. I never realized anything was wrong.
I was never a member of the jehovahs witnesses but I’ve read and watched and listened to enough information about it that I knew exactly who that last story was talking about. it’s like I almost experience some form of second hand ptsd whenever I hear or see anything having to do with them. They really mess people up. They’ll rip your life apart and shun you till death.
Cults are weird. Always so odd how 'God' needs so much cash (why would he need money at all?) and needs women to be oppressed (HE made man and woman, not man and slave - I figure he wouldn't get that wrong if that had been HIS plan all along..). Actually all organised religion seems to elevate men, their station in life, and their own wants, and have little to do with whatever God is being touted as 'the one'.
well. every religion was created by man.. so they shape them to benefit themselves. it has nothing to do with god. its money making biz just like a store. except they sell "salvation" the only thing I need to do to get salvation is ask god for it. organized religion is just a scheme now. i don't go to church I don't preach to random people I don't look down on any other outlook. I just am. I believe in god. and I know he knows that without me being in a church.
+BritGirlJay One of the many reasons I have never pursued any religion. Every single religion I have ever researched (seriously, every single one) women are less than men. Why would I ever willingly join a religion if it's going to preach and teach that I am less than a man? That's abuse. Plain and simple. I don't deserve to treated any differently just because I am a woman. There are far more things with which to judge a person than their sex.
Darnel Potter Ha! I know someone who has one that still haunts them today. It frightens me to hear it. I think it is absolutely worthy of being narrated here though.
I love your channel cause you do a lot of stories that are not on every other channel. That gets so annoying, but I understand it's hard to find good creepy ones though.
+Mrs Bunnyrabbit How long until we are allowed into the inner circle where we learn the secrets of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, His Noodley Appendage?
+MadCatAttack123 My dear, the secrets of the FSM are always there to be uncovered by you and you alone; you must partake of the pasta and brew daily to gain the necessary clarity. I am an ordained minister of the FSM- if it is answers you seek, all you must do is ask.
I remember when I first came across Let’s Read, the majority of the commenters(including myself) all thought that this channel was just a Mister Nightmare clone. I’ve since come to realize that this channel is actually much much better
“The Moonies” were a huge deal when I was a kid in the 70s and early 80s. I haven’t heard about them in some time, but it’s odd to see people talking about “the Korean cult”. They are The Moonies, folks. The Moonies.
They used to be affiliated with a college here in Connecticut, Bridgeport I think... I remember hearing a lot about them in the 70's and early 80's as well
I got out of a Korean Christian cult the year I graduated high school... I disagreed with a practice, and was more or less shunned because of it, and that is how I got out. It was a tough few years for me and they preyed on that vulnerability. I was heartbroken to be shunned at the time, but now I am scarred by thinking about what could have happened.
A lot of cults or religions(evil) disguise themselves as christianity to discredit Jesus Christs love for us. Don't give up on Jesus he teaches love and forgiveness but u have to accept him as ur saviour. God bless
omg i think i was in that cult. the last one. its ATI. look up bill gothard. it was one of a few my parents were into. they terrified the hell out of us about everything.
Its really fun picking a series of vids, like all three "cult" vids, putting them in a playlist, and listening to them durring the work day. Its kind of interesting and odd mixing such creepy stories with a voice that sounds like it belongs on a "drift off to sleep" ASMR video. Lol. I love it.
Exactly , i about crapped myself when i heard this. I was grown up into this “church” and so glad i never felt i belonged or I’d still be “blessing” my groceries whenever I’d bring them home from the store 😂😂
Can’t even listen to this- it’s too distressing as I have been in a relationship with someone who would try to start cults and have known many people and still do know people who are culty
Religion can bring people together, but sometimes, someone can manipulate someone else by using religious beliefs to get money not to fund their own followers, but themselves. Religion is as fragile as glass, and we have to use it carefully in the right way.
I would really love to hear more about the Moon cult and the scientology (I know that I spelled wrong) because I find it very interesting and all the stories about it is a horrorstory.
Jonestown (drink the kool-aid) turned me against organized religion. I never drank kool-aid after that either. I remember seeing all the dead bodies on TV. It upset me terribly.
strange hearing about the story from Webster Groves. It is a very wealthy neighborhood in St. Louis. I can not imagine people like that living in that area.
Hypocoristical I live in south city and I know strange that is for sure! But if you really think about it it is usually the rich or the poor that are crazy enough to follow cults. Us folks in the middle are just more grounded and sane.
+Bloom revear: That woman did NOTHING worth being called a whore, a sleaze and a bitch. It's never okay to call women these things. Common courtesy, civility, manners and civility matter on the Internet as much as in "real life".
these cults think they are helping god but they are miss leading im a devoted christian and my church never dose anything like this exept the open hyms a prayer and the preacher preaches the word but these cults are what people are afraid of in religion the real christian faith isn't like that
except most cristians push their beliefs onto their kids and make them believe the bullshit before they're even old enough to think for themselves, happened to me and all my friends. :P plus if your gay, your screwed. they pretend to be ok with it until one of their kids is gay, then all hell breaks loose. no offense, but you gotta admit, christianity is like a mild cult.
Damn the first one was kinda funny at the beginning "for eating a sandwich" Damn I would know just then , you know sandwiches are a very good cult detection device , they light up and everything and it makes the hotfoots gasp in disbelief
Why are you reading it like this? Oh wait this video was from 3 years ago so you’ve prolly changed your ways since then. Either way, love your channel the most when it comes to horror stories!!
Story #1, Mormons, Jehovah's Witness, or some other crazy American Christian BS. Other countries should put up travel advisories for their aspiring study abroad students thinking of coming to the US. Its nuts here!
I gone to a Mormon church before and it's not that bad on east coast America I heard on West coast it gets weird.but weird Christan cults are some bapatist .btw yes I been to Mormon Baptist and cathlic churches Mormon seems most cult like.and they like card games. But in the city of Savannah... Things get Hollywood crazy.becarful of people in bird masks...
it's so weird to me how cults are easily able to draw in large numbers of people into their group... makes me think about how SOME people don't think for themselves and can be easily manipulated. you would think that these ~followers~ are just overly-religious, zealous people, but some of them are just ordinary-everyday people.
woah... I think I had a friend who was in the Korean cult... arrange marriages to unite the world sounds pretty spot on but she never tried to indoctrinate me or anything.
This dude talks in a creepy voice. Combined with the kinda creepy music, this is enough to scare the living daylights out of someone! I just listened to part of another one of his videos about OBEs. I couldn't finish it...got too creeped out! 😨😰😱
This reminds me of the cult I was involved with years ago. It was an ultra-conservative Christian church. It was like an old style Pentacostal church but much more controlling. They didn't allow members to watch TV. Women weren't allowed to cut their hair or wear jewelry. They arranged marriages and pretty much controlled every aspect of the members lives. It was crazy. If a member tries to leave, they either relentlessly harrass them. They have churches all over the world and they obsess over money.
My mother is in a pentecostal church. She became a member when I was about 9ish. She used to drag us to church, by our hair if necessary. This church was strict. No tv. No movies. No make up. No cutting hair. No nail polish. No bright colors. Only dresses and skirts. All below the knee. No high heels. No music. Only church hyms. No hair dos. Only loose hair or buns. Sunday service was 5 hours. Every other night it was from 7-9. I never liked it there. If you were an outsider visiting, the ladies would talk about you. Make fun of you. I wanted no part. As I got older and my mother could no longer make me go. I just stopped going. All the girls I went to to school with that belonged to that church, once they turned 18, they stopped going and went wild. Make up. Music. Boys. Parties. Pregnancy. They've been under strict control their whole lives. My mother called us evil and told us plenty of times we were going to hell. They had her and still have her brain washed. It was like a cult. Every day offering. 10 percent of your paycheck. 10 percent of your tax refund. All to the church. My mother loved a little vacant land that she wished she could build a house on. Money wasn't there but guess who ended up buying this land and building a house on it. The pastor. He didn't work. He lived off the offering. I once asked my mother how she felt about him buying her dream land and building the house she wanted. Her response was, this is what the Lord wanted. I asked her how she felt having to go to work every day for 9, 10 hours then giving the church her money while the pastor didn't work and her response was, he's doing the lord's work. Total brain wash. 😡
I nearly just asked a question about the FRIKKIN ADVERT BEFORE THIS STARTED... apparently quarter to 2 is the time where my brain has almost completely run away...
Eammon Wright thanking you! = ) I'm on a device that has your picture too small for me to make out or I'm CERTAIN I'd be able to return with another compliment... as it is, midnight is rapidly approaching and I am fighting sleep so am not going to swap to something else for fear it will reawaken me! Where in the world are YOU? = )
Story Number 4 made me think of my own experience and it sounds like the cult that I grew up in and my family. I swear they were talking about the World Wide Church of God.
Noted, if you say you're a Scientologist, I'm breaking up with you immediately.

before I start this, I like your voice. similar to top 15s, the voice plays a big role on how scary the story is!
Ha I get that "We drink the Kool-aid and it tastes like rat poison"...
Jonestown (drink the kool-aid) turned me against organized religion. I never drank kool-aid after that either. I remember seeing all the dead bodies on TV. It upset me terribly.
You, sir, are great.
Thanks for you entertaining us.
strange hearing about the story from Webster Groves. It is a very wealthy neighborhood in St. Louis. I can not imagine people like that living in that area.
+Brad Luck I was thinking the same thing. I grew up in Kirkwood - and though there were some strange folks there, I've never heard about such things.
Hypocoristical I live in south city and I know strange that is for sure! But if you really think about it it is usually the rich or the poor that are crazy enough to follow cults. Us folks in the middle are just more grounded and sane.
Im from Ballwin and was also surprised to hear the first story took place in Webster Groves. South county maybe.
wendy wilson you must have missed my statement.
How about them BLUES!!!!
Oh shit sorry. I was joking anyway, really. The Blues did great!!
Your voice is Perfection 😍
I was thinking the same thing.. ugh wish my man sounded like that. pahaha
+Виктория Георгин why women have to be so rude.... and you women say all men are the same.
+Bloom revear I mean pixie is fine but this bitch " ooo my god like why cant my man sound like him" that was golden xD
+Виктория Георгин we all know his voice is sexy but goddamn
+Bloom revear: That woman did NOTHING worth being called a whore, a sleaze and a bitch. It's never okay to call women these things. Common courtesy, civility, manners and civility matter on the Internet as much as in "real life".
Omg these fuckin narrating skills are iconic !! My fav story channel! No one else compares I swear. Can't believe this is free lol I'm chillin now
Love this one. Please play more on cults... Like johova witness too.
Forever clashed at my annoyance of Scientology and realizing Beck is one of them.
OMFG!!! This last story sounds eerily similar to Jehovah's Witnesses
these cults think they are helping god but they are miss leading im a devoted christian and my church never dose anything like this exept the open hyms a prayer and the preacher preaches the word but these cults are what people are afraid of in religion the real christian faith isn't like that
+Scott, Hunter except giving them your money
+TommyNugs 707 not really I'm with them when we bye things it's mainly paying bills and bying food for everyone
except most cristians push their beliefs onto their kids and make them believe the bullshit before they're even old enough to think for themselves, happened to me and all my friends. :P plus if your gay, your screwed. they pretend to be ok with it until one of their kids is gay, then all hell breaks loose. no offense, but you gotta admit, christianity is like a mild cult.
XXGUNNS 4H1REXX ur in a cult?
Harbo no more do I ever want to be, sorry if I anoyed you with my comment
Let’s read drinks kool-aid confirmed.
Nice ending love the narrator I can actually hear an listen to your voice not many voices I am able to listen to
Perfect stories for when I'm knitting or playing games
Damn the first one was kinda funny at the beginning "for eating a sandwich" Damn I would know just then , you know sandwiches are a very good cult detection device , they light up and everything and it makes the hotfoots gasp in disbelief
Waking up with autoplay on, hearing your voice at 3am is terrifying
Why are you reading it like this? Oh wait this video was from 3 years ago so you’ve prolly changed your ways since then. Either way, love your channel the most when it comes to horror stories!!
Bro, I live "kinda around Webster Groves" and when I heard that part my face legit just dropped of all color.
Love your channel. Keeps me company when I go on my walks. ❤️
that 3rd one sounded so familiar to the one I was in when I was a child.
Cult stories are always fun to listen to 📖
Scary stories! You're a great narrator! Thanks!
I went to the church in the last story, and the person writing this story is actually giving you a mild version of what goes on in that "church"
Jacqueline Dejong wait really how ._.
What is the name of the church? I'd really like to read about it if you're comfortable with sharing
Nicky Thompson The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints closely resembles the last story.
My sisters friend joined a cult. Ended up pregnant and refused to leave 🙄 crazy story, she had been “missing” for months. Assumed dead.
ew
Mr. Fender how is that disgusting she's missing for crying out loud
It's gross to think about dumbass
Story #1, Mormons, Jehovah's Witness, or some other crazy American Christian BS. Other countries should put up travel advisories for their aspiring study abroad students thinking of coming to the US. Its nuts here!
Having grown up Mormon I can say they are not a cult just generally nice people.
Dylan Blake it is definitely a cult just not as bad as Jehovah's witnesses
Christian Lindsey *asia
Christian Lindsey dude I live where they’re talking about in that story
I gone to a Mormon church before and it's not that bad on east coast America I heard on West coast it gets weird.but weird Christan cults are some bapatist .btw yes I been to Mormon Baptist and cathlic churches Mormon seems most cult like.and they like card games. But in the city of Savannah... Things get Hollywood crazy.becarful of people in bird masks...
No 1. I was an exchange student from Malaysia.
Whoa I'm from Malaysia too~
😎😎✌️
some people just, should not be able to have kids!
I listen to scary stories to help me sleep😆
Best voice on RUclips
Lol WEBSTER GROVES! I went to college there! 2 Masters Degrees later I still suck!
Dude your voice is pretty awesome.....
Even when you were thanking the subs you sounded creepy! Keep up the good vids!
I animate. Just saying.
Axeman Cartoons what
AFK Gaming He animates, that's what he's saying.
AFK Gaming he animates.... BUT REMEMBER, HE'S JUST SAYING.
I like where your head's at
Axeman Cartoons I masterbate. Just saying
Watch the South Park Scientology episode 😂
Hey Joel this was my first story as a follower you can see how long I've been a fan ❤
This is my third time listening to this and it never gets old
hey man I enjoy your narration I enjoy this video and the stories were pretty cool
I love your channel. I'm a member of your cult lol
it's so weird to me how cults are easily able to draw in large numbers of people into their group... makes me think about how SOME people don't think for themselves and can be easily manipulated. you would think that these ~followers~ are just overly-religious, zealous people, but some of them are just ordinary-everyday people.
love this guy a lot 👍
kool~Aid should not taste or smell of bitter Almonds....
Poor Kool-Aid….their stock must’ve plummeted after Jonestown. What a waste.
>Missouri
>Webster Groves
shit i live near there. (not right now since I'm away in college)
Webster Groves ... I live about 20 minutes ago from there. ....
COLD SHOWERS THAT IS THE MOST EVIL THING I HAVE EVER HEARD OF
love you, do more with lazy that would be sweeeeeeeeet
That voice could make me join the most psychotic evil cult if it told me toooo hahahahahah. Seriously though love your stories and the way tell them.
woah... I think I had a friend who was in the Korean cult... arrange marriages to unite the world sounds pretty spot on but she never tried to indoctrinate me or anything.
This dude talks in a creepy voice. Combined with the kinda creepy music, this is enough to scare the living daylights out of someone! I just listened to part of another one of his videos about OBEs. I couldn't finish it...got too creeped out! 😨😰😱
This reminds me of the cult I was involved with years ago. It was an ultra-conservative Christian church. It was like an old style Pentacostal church but much more controlling. They didn't allow members to watch TV. Women weren't allowed to cut their hair or wear jewelry. They arranged marriages and pretty much controlled every aspect of the members lives. It was crazy. If a member tries to leave, they either relentlessly harrass them. They have churches all over the world and they obsess over money.
You are describing all religions (cults). A very good reason to turn to science and reality. Like it or not God is dead.
My mother is in a pentecostal church. She became a member when I was about 9ish. She used to drag us to church, by our hair if necessary. This church was strict. No tv. No movies. No make up. No cutting hair. No nail polish. No bright colors. Only dresses and skirts. All below the knee. No high heels. No music. Only church hyms. No hair dos. Only loose hair or buns. Sunday service was 5 hours. Every other night it was from 7-9. I never liked it there. If you were an outsider visiting, the ladies would talk about you. Make fun of you. I wanted no part. As I got older and my mother could no longer make me go. I just stopped going. All the girls I went to to school with that belonged to that church, once they turned 18, they stopped going and went wild. Make up. Music. Boys. Parties. Pregnancy. They've been under strict control their whole lives. My mother called us evil and told us plenty of times we were going to hell. They had her and still have her brain washed. It was like a cult. Every day offering. 10 percent of your paycheck. 10 percent of your tax refund. All to the church. My mother loved a little vacant land that she wished she could build a house on. Money wasn't there but guess who ended up buying this land and building a house on it. The pastor. He didn't work. He lived off the offering. I once asked my mother how she felt about him buying her dream land and building the house she wanted. Her response was, this is what the Lord wanted. I asked her how she felt having to go to work every day for 9, 10 hours then giving the church her money while the pastor didn't work and her response was, he's doing the lord's work. Total brain wash. 😡
18:44 if you were "literally" brainwashed that would mean you be DEAD because your brain would have to come out of your head to be washed 😂
Cool stories, good job
cult leaders useless animals ep is amazing. seriously amazing band. I actually have that patch on one off my coats. great video
one of the best horor channel
I nearly just asked a question about the FRIKKIN ADVERT BEFORE THIS STARTED...
apparently quarter to 2 is the time where my brain has almost completely run away...
Eammon Wright thanking you! = ) I'm on a device that has your picture too small for me to make out or I'm CERTAIN I'd be able to return with another compliment... as it is, midnight is rapidly approaching and I am fighting sleep so am not going to swap to something else for fear it will reawaken me!
Where in the world are YOU? = )
These cult stories are heartbreaking.
Holy wine, batman!
Just bought your game, its damn good. No more sleep for me and my Paranoia.
i love your deep voice>> can you stroke my hair & tell me a story while I fall asleep??? ;-P
Rachelle Gendaro. OK. We know you are a Catholic.
i forgot i wrote this...
Lol. What even
Great video! :)
So 1000 dollars for a Japanese, 100 dollars for Americans, how much was it for Canadians? Specifically Quebecois!
awesome
Story Number 4 made me think of my own experience and it sounds like the cult that I grew up in and my family. I swear they were talking about the World Wide Church of God.
I attended the Living Church of God basically my whole childhood and I was thinking the same thing. LCG is one of the groups that came from WWCG.
