Is joining a cult a good or bad idea?
I have a freind who was a Scientologist. When she left her friends on the outside spent 5 years helping here to adjust to normality. She then regretted that she had wasted 19 yeras of her life in that cult. Cults, and I include many American churches, are bad news as they limit your ability to think outside of the parametersthey set. All humans should be free to think for themselves.
