When you read about cults, from Jonestown, to The Movement for the Restoration of the Ten Commandments of God, to FLDS... and others-- the thing that strikes me most is how similar these movements always are. Always overworking people to keep them in a mental fog. "Give up your possessions" rules don't apply to cult leaders, rules forbidding sex even for married couples, but also sexual abuse. The leader "has to" take a bunch of wives... on and on.
Same old rotten story.
