#manson #witchcraft #cult In this new mini-doc I take on the markers of a cult. For twenty years and after two books I’ve looked into cults and their patterns and have attempted to boil it down to the ten key factors that stand out. At the end I consider witchcraft and its emergence.
NEWFOUNDLAND, PENNSYLVANIA — People across the world were shocked as hundreds of couples carrying AR-15 rifles filled a Pennsylvania church on Wednesday in a mass ceremony where their marriages were blessed and their firearms hailed as divine “rods of iron.”
Jeffrey Augustine joins me once again for an in depth discussion of all things Scientology. We begin by touching on Leah Remini and her headline making TV show Scientology and the Aftermath. We talk about her recent Television Critics Association award for best reality series and what a huge step this is in exposing Scientology to the world. Jeffrey and I also touch on Elizabeth Moss, who walked out of the award show in protest over this.
Tom Secker and I had the great pleasure of joining Kira Young on her radio show The Bridge. This time around we continued our discussion of cults by focusing on those within the alt-media. We took at a look at how and why cults seem to flourish within the alt-media, with a particular focus on the role that the Internet plays in reaching out to potential members.
