Cults prey on the very attributes that make us human: our desire to belong, to find a deeper meaning in life, to live everyday with divine purpose. Their existence creates a sense that any one of us, at any time, could step off the cliff’s edge and fall into that daunting abyss of manipulation and unhinged dedication to a misplaced cause. Perhaps it’s this mindset that keeps us so utterly obsessed and desperate to learn more, or it’s that the stories are so bizarre and unsettling that we are simply in awe of the mechanics that make these infamous groups tick.

What is more common, after all, than the simple fact that we all need to eat?

I had to make my target small. Then I realized my long blonde hair might contrast against the dark green forest around me. Perhaps the snow would help with that. As the clicking of the horses’ feet on the cobblestone street got closer, they slowed...then stopped. I couldn’t be more than 10 feet back! I had to hold my breath. I could not let them hear me breathe. I squinted my eyes shut, as I knew I was turning blue from lack of oxygen. I didn’t want to fight them or get hurt.
