When your friend joins what feels like a cult

My best friend and I have been exploring different spiritual paths together for years but lately she's gotten really into something that feels cultish to me and I'm watching her change in ways that scare me and I don't know how to say anything without losing her. When I try to express concern she says I'm being judgmental and closed-minded.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The sacred bond of spiritual seeking together is being tested by divergent paths that feel dangerous to witness.
