When a close friend joins what feels like a spiritual cult

Three of us have been spiritual friends for over a decade but one friend has joined a community that feels cultish to the rest of us and now every gathering becomes tense with things we can't say. We love them but we're watching them disappear into something that demands total devotion and we don't know whether to speak up or step back.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Love must choose between protective confrontation and respectful withdrawal when someone's spiritual path feels dangerous to those who care for them.
