Elizabeth Smart Has 70 First Cousins?
(BTW, glad to have Elizabeth reunited with her real family)
She had two people with her at all times," family spokesman Chris Thomas said. But wait, wasn't Mitchell in the slammer for 6 nights in San Diego?
Yeah, I hear you about her opportunity to run, but when she answers the cops about her identity with "Thou sayest"? What could possibly motivate that other than that she had been disciplined to respond in that way. She's a young teenager under the exclusive influence of a false profit. The Bible teaches that many wiser than her will be so fooled.
(sorry, I just couldn't help myself.. )
I also wonder why some can be influenced so strongly and other not. Does anyone have any info on the psychology of the cult mentality? Who, i.e. what kind of people, does a Jim Jones succeed with? Forget the koolaid tragedy for the moment, who would pack up everything and move their family to Guyana? What are people seeking when that is the answer?
Some people are trained to follow authority figures, spiritual leaders, etc. without question. Those people are probably more susceptible to mind control by the lunatics. Children should be taught to question anyone who tries to control them and have a reasonable basis for accepting control. Don't accept candy from strangers. Don't accept spiritual advice from raving maniacs. I know, that could put a some "preachers" out of business but it's still good advice.
And she was safe when? In other words, until she knew she was safe, that she knew she'd be reunited with her true family, she'd maintain the cover. I don't assign any blame to her.
