Shawn,
This girl I'm talking with belongs to a "Jim Jones" type cult.
Arraingned marriages
Rearrainged marriages
Communal living
"Prophetic Voice" leadership
Like Jim Jones, the leader 'chastens' his followers and they seem to thrive on having sin 'coerced' out of themselves.
Instead of being condemned, the ones who stay appear to derive their very life source from the cult.
I appreciate everyone's additions to this thread.
This past week has been full of Grandsons but will be getting back with her soon with all I've gleaned from Ya'll.
You're the best. Thanks!
