thoughts on cults

mood:sad

This morning, on abcnews.com, I found a fascinating article about a woman who escaped a polygamous sect. She came from Colorado City, Arizona, where the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is basicaly ruled by "prophet" Warren Jeffs. The children are indoctrinated in the beliefs of the elders. The people stay in Colorado City out of fear and control.

The article can be viewed here.

I think this is how cults work. Around the world... if it weren't for the fear, I think a lot of people would leave their religions and turn to Hope. That is, Christ.
