Blame rich for this one But Do any of u think that due to the loyalty, devotion and the need for our daily fix etc....is the org on the verge of Cult status? As in religious?

Or is it just like a drug and we are all sad addicts

i think we are just addicted to the org

yes

They tried to make me go to rehab but I said 'no, no, no'

I wouldn't say cult status, but i would say that it has become exactly what it set out to do which is actually become a community.
Like pretty much everyone here i thought i would sign up, post a bit and be gone....well 8 yrs later i am still here and ended up married to another orger and this place has very much become like a community. I have many friends here, there are people i can't stand, opinions i agree with and those i don't....just like real life.
I have met up with and welcomed to my home many orgers. This place is more than a website, its a bit like all of us getting together and chatting IRL but from thousands of miles away.
Cult? nah.....friends and community...hell yeah

Remember in chat you mentioned that the chatroom is like a vortex, it sucks you in!

I think, like most things, The Org is what you make of it.

I think you might have stole that line from me, since I remember saying that in the chatroom once. I was quoting from The Eagles' song, "Hotel California". But it's cool, I like it when cool people quote me.

The org is definitely a vortex:

Hotel California - The Eagles

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway;
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself,
’this could be heaven or this could be hell’
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say...

Welcome to the hotel california
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the hotel california
Any time of year, you can find it here

Her mind is tiffany-twisted, she got the mercedes bends
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

So I called up the captain,
’please bring me my wine’
He said, ’we haven’t had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine’
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say...

Welcome to the hotel california
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
They livin’ it up at the hotel california
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said ’we are all just prisoners here, of our own device’
And in the master’s chambers,
They gathered for the feast
The stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can’t kill the beast

Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
’relax,’ said the night man,
We are programmed to receive.
You can checkout any time you like,
But you can never leave!

That's been one of the .org's mottos for YEARS!!

Maybe for some.....but there's plenty of websites out there! Not to mention, logging off.
I once stated, in this forum, the possibility of members taking a "break". Boy, did that have a hostile response, from one person.
Which is exactly why, I take breaks.
It helps with perspective.
I think the lines get blurred, between addiction and cult.

I completely agree.

I got laid once.
And I must admit,
I rather enjoyed it.
Also I gotta say
(especially to all the young people out there),
you just haven't had sex,
I mean really good sex,
until you've gotten laid.
