I don't know if anyone else has seen this movie before, but "Martha Marcy May Marlene" is about a woman who has just escaped from a cult. It's stars Elizabeth Olsen (younger sister to the Olsen twins) as the main character and Sarah Paulson (From "American Horror Story) as her character older sisters. It's really good.
My fiancé's sister had a classmate that was in a cult and right after she got out she went to stay with finance's sister and roommate. She said girl was acting very strange and was saying things that didn't make sense.
I'm Christian, but I'm very suspicious and cynical with most people. I guess I get it from my dad. While my mom was religious he didn't go to church and was really against organized religion.
My mom bought the movie from a discount store a couple months back and we watched it. Very good... but lame ending IMO. Still worth a watch.
I know about Jonestown, and I've always been interested in it. But this thread has made me really look more into it, on youtube. I definitely want to read that book Raven, as well as others on Amazon. Whew!!! The 1970s were a time to be alive! I kinda wish I could've been alive then, but then I'm glad I wasn't, because I might have been sucked into that mess.
