I've been watching a series about various cults. It's not exactly the pinnacle of journalism but is sort of an interesting overview of various cults. Though I have heard of, or read about, many of these cults seeing them covered in short documentaries one after the other, I am struck by how many cult leaders bring in polygamy and/or child sexual abuse.
The draw seems to be serving a god and having a sense of community only to find out that it's really about abuse...sexual and otherwise.
I am surprised by the people who fall for these leaders and what they are willing to do to remain a part of the cult.
