Why do these doomsday cults attract such unwavering loyalty among their followers?
How is it that a person can persuade people to do terrible things - to themselves and to others - in the name of some bizarre prophesy?
Test
Doomsday groups often will cut off members of the cult, both from the outside world and even from each other.
When you surround yourself every moment and every day with the same message and like-minded fanatical individuals, there is little room for doubt or introspection.
Everything you need or want has to come through the cult.
As we have seen, cults take very deliberate care to make sure that their members believe that there is nowhere else they can live.
