RESPONSE:
It shocks me how people can just go along with cults when there are extreme rules to follow; like death, no communication, and even having to wear uniforms. It is also hard to believe that these leaders can be so deceiving. The followers really do believe that they are doing this for something and in the end their leader murders them. It is not like these people are dying 1 by one, they are dying in hundreds without people knowing. This cult has had 3 massacres where 300 people have died. A church was set on fire with people and children in them. Many were left dead. It gives me chills to even think that someone would do that. Also, they aren’t allowed to communicate. Their only way of communication is throw sign language. Most people lost contact with their families. I couldn’t imagine that happening to me. I get homesick easily and not being able to see my family ever is almost impossible.
