"I don’t understand cult behavior."

What I mean is...What is it about their character and personality as individuals that made them vulnerable enough to be so taken in by the influence(s) of such brainwashing groups and organizations? Why are they are they such suckers for it and why are they so susceptible to giving themselves over to it?

a good question, worthy of reflections. I remember one of the first things in college to break down our social norms was the sleeping bag roll where we got it a bag with a coed and rolled to the finish end. Only later did I understand what they were doing.
