Moon: Emperor of the Universe;

Here's some cult related material for you. First is a movie called "Moon: Emperor of the Universe". Second is a great lecture by Steven Hassan at Harvard university about Waco, and how the United states government failed to understand the "cult mentality". Hassan himself was a recruiter for the Moonies and offers an in-depth and first hand look at the underlying traits that make an organization a cult. As he explains in the lecture, it's not what the organization stands for that makes it a cult, it's the methods they use to attract, control and retain members. A Family can operate like a cult, a major religion can operate like a cult.

Here's the movie. It's a bit soft on the Moonies if you ask me. Check out the lecture for more information.

Enjoy! Comment! and fucking pay attention....
