That's a very good description of cults! The f. fits them all and then some! Making misdemeanors into mountains (only two sheets of toilet paper comes to mind...!) The isolation, breaking up of families, pyramidical structure! All of it. The only cult book I read was by Steven Hassan, On Cult Mind Control or something like that. He was a member of The Moonies for a long time. Though a different group, the basic characteristics were the same. Who is Jan Groenveld?
