Cults & Mind Control
The public wonders how women could ever, in their right minds, join a polygamist cult. Janja Lalich says, “These people are no different than you and I, if you mean people who join these groups. According to all the studies, people who join these groups are above average intelligence, from stable backgrounds, they do not have any pre-existing psychological difficulties, or problems.
