What's an example of a hobby or social group where if you try to tell others about it to see if they want to join, it always sounds like you're trying to recruit them into a cult? (hexbear.net)

For me, it's social dancing, specifically West Coast Swing. Because while there is just social dancing, and some who only do it, there's a bit of a culture of competition, and it has its own governing body for determining where you place in competitions, and when it does sound like a cult when described.

Acro yoga and contact improv, but that probably has more to do with everyone being mega hippies that probably are already in a cult
