OMGoodness...I watched this on Netflix last night.
Sort of interesting to watch these shows about cults...coming from where we have been.
Observations...
I see the draw of "paradise," as a natural desire of most people. Which, in talking with an exJW from this board a few years ago after lamenting "why don't they leeeeeave!!!", the carrot of the paradise with a pet tiger is a very strong carrot...even though it is impossible to achieve, the dream of it is hard to let go.
Even when this crazy guy was shown to be a lying charlatan, people still stayed because of the community and the feeling they got of a brotherhood. Another comment, which conclusion I came to myself, is co-dependency is a large factor in many individuals that remain in cults.
Anyway, interesting video...
