From Dan
Some interesting themes have emerged from a blg discussion between leo and Charlotte. The concept of Apocolypticism refers to beliefs in paradise on earth created through a catclysmic disaster after which the world becomes the perfect place to live. This is common to cults, but is suggested by Christianity in the book of Revelations. More details at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apocalypticism
The other issue is the fact that there tends to be a charismatic individual coming up with the belief system and persuasion (and often getting a good deal out of the cult with regards to money and sex) This is a description from an 'expert':
“[David Koresh is] your stock cult leader. ... They're all the same. Meet one and you've met them all. They're deeply disturbed, have a borderline personality and lack any type of conscience. ... No one willingly enters into a relationship like this. ... So you're talking about deception and manipulation (by the leader), people being coached in ever so slight increments, pulled in deeper and deeper without knowing where it's going or seeing the total picture."
