I don't think I've read back quite that far yet, but you've got me intrigued, I must say. I'll have to give it a gander!!!

Wow... scary. Glad you didn't end up in black Nike's and a purple shroud. :-)

The Doomsday Cults have always interested me... especially in how they manage to stay together once doomsday has come and gone and we're all still here. A class I'm taking right now actually discussed that a bit. It's fascinating. The whole mentality of cult leaders as well as cult members is just bizarre, compelling and fascinating.

and also how mainstream, socially acceptable Christian groups act very culty without everyone noticing.

I agree totally. Or how groups like Scientologists, who everybody knows is a cult, gain such popularity.

I'm glad you made your way out of the cult.
