Does anyone wonder how people can fall for a cult?

Simon1 comments on Mar 23, 2018:

they get people when they are truly vulnerable after a family death , loss of a job ,end of a relationship or the favourite when they are trying to give up drugs or alcohol (see AA) . They are very good at manipulating people and you would be very surprised how intelligent some people are that do get convinced to join cults
