I’d bet if we took the kool-aid away there would be some who couldn’t recover. Brain dead has no fix. A+++

Thank you!

Ever since I enrolled in a course on cults in America one year as part of my required yearly continuing ed hours, I’ve been very interested in the overall psychology and motivation of the participants, both followers and leaders-some of the seemingly innocent or just plain silly organizations/groups who have definite cult-like doctrines and recruiting tactics is pretty chilling, too...

I watched a program on H2 last night on cults-Jonestown in particular, and some people who escaped talked about the slavish devotion of the followers who voluntarily drank the koolaid. Hard core ‘rat worshippers bear an unfortunate resemblance to them-and are just as likely to self-destruct on cue, in my opinion...
