You mentioned in the article how people think that cults are a thing of the past and articulately disabuse us of that thinking! The internet is really no help, although one might think it would be. Look at all the nonsense that gets posted that people believe without doing their own research. Things that a few seconds of head scratching and rational thought, let alone a peak at snopes.com, would reveal as just plain wrong. People aren't any more likely to do the hard work of thinking for themselves now than when we were ensnared.
