Cults

It saddens me that the poor people were taken advantage of by the evil leaders in Uganda. People in these cults are seeking a sense of belonging so they turn to anything. In Uganda specifically, these cult followers had to live in a common home, give up all their belongings, refrain from sexual intercourse, eat two meals a day, and wear uniforms. This harsh treatment allowed leaders to maintain control of their followers while their followers to somehow feel as if they were a part of a great group. The “mass suicides” were actually murders conducted by the leaders of the Ugandan cult. Their freedoms were taken away and it shocks me that the people were not outraged with all the rights they were ordered to surrender. This should have been a pin point as to the direction of the cuts future. It is depressing to think that this kind of cult activity will not end even with such an outrageous stunt, but it will continue to capture the minds of those who long to conform to a new and different religion or group of their native land.
