Introduction

Humans are afraid. They are afraid of the unknown and what they do not understand. They are afraid of their futures. They are afraid of death and they are afraid of life. Some individuals find it easier to let go of their responsibility to make decisions and instead find solace in allowing someone else to hold the reins for awhile. They find satisfaction in joining a “family” that they believe is achieving something greater than themselves through their newfound mentality. They want to be on the front end of rebelling against societal norms and being able to live a sexually driven and liberated life. These are just a few examples of why men and women find themselves joining a “new religious movement” otherwise known as a cult.
