Thank you so much as always, it really does mean so much to me that you enjoyed this. I don't think these posts are likely candidates to ever get curated, but so long as a few people read and enjoy them I feel they're more than worth it.
Cults is a subject I've been fascinated with for years, although this particular one I only first really heard about a couple of years ago. I'd heard the phrase "don't drink the kool-aid" in passing, but it was a little before my time really. There are some really good documentaries out there on Jonestown, even if they are a little disturbing.
I bet you have a few stories about your time in Germany!
It certainly was an adventure!
