is how they are set up. Until they change that, they will no doubt fall apart, piece by piece, which is actually a good thing.

But until they learn to change and run things like other cults that went mainstream did. i.e., the Mormons, Jehovah Witness, Scientologist, etc. They have to allow their members to become normal families, live in the community, go to school and get regular jobs. In fact, they should encourage them to pursue higher education such as the Mormons and Catholics do. They are very big on academics. Hence, they become doctors, lawyers and such. This makes them credible to the community, it gives their children the chance to observe the real world and make better informed decisions, it also provides financial support so that every member has a chance to have a decent life and then the tithe and member donations can go to the missionaries. This is the normal procedure and works the best. Members would then be able to either purchase their own health care or get it from their jobs. Of course, Peter and Maria, being the pathological control freaks that they are will not allow this. Like the cult leader in the movie The Beach, Maria will go down in flames before she would admit to any mistakes in her world of psuedo utopia.

Sigh - I wish TF would just friggin wake up.
