That was my first thought too – I assumed money scam involving expensive powdered scriptures.

I’m interested in the treatment value of bible soaking for schizotypal and paranoid individuals, but I think the experiment would be unethical.

Their forum is fascinating – and deeply disturbing – reading. The completely uninhibited stream of consciousness you can get from there gives you an amazing sample of them. I think your take on it would also be respected by media outlets currently interested in the phenomenon.

They conduct self-surveys frequently as well giving you chronological racial, age, physical stats and even medical (including psychological diagnoses) data, often individualized. It’s basically a raw data sample ready to have a paper written about it.

One of the strangest aspects to me is that it’s majority-minority according to its own surveys, yet it’s the most racist place on the internet in some respects, including compared to Nazi sites like Stormfront. It’s almost as if their incel identity overcomes all.

The most recent surveys there said that 78% had never been diagnosed with a personality disorder (which isn’t terribly interesting) while 7% admitted BPD alone.

Since this fits squarely in your sexuality portfolio I thought I’d mention it. I’m having a hard time putting the site down right now, I keep learning more about them with every page I read.
