6. Why do you want to maintain a friendship with this guy?
Fri Jul 4, 2025, 11:04 AM
Jul 2025

He’s in an ARMED CULT and you’ve not yet been able to help him see reason. He has your contact info and can contact you if and when he wants help getting out of the cult. You can love a friend or family member *without* their participation—and in many cases a healthy boundary makes it easier to love them.

ETA: I wish you every success in navigating such a complicated relationship and hope you’ll prioritize *your* health in all dimensions and not allow it to be jeopardized by your friend’s toxic world view.
