For anyone interested in reading about religious cults and why people join/stay in them, I recommend "Why Waco?" by James Tabor, a religion professor at University of North Carolina who was a consultant of sorts for the U.S. govt. during its ordeal in Waco. I read it in college and thought it was very interesting. Religion is a complex topic - one that people feel very passionately about. All religions are based on faith (often blind faith), and spirituality can hardly be called rational.
