Another AKA
Lifetime Movie Network has been showing this movie under the title Hidden Evil.
IMDB says I don't have enough experience with the database to add another AKA.
Big Brother knows best!!!
I want to see this movie, and any other that will give me some kind of answer to why these religious cults attract women. I can see that the men get to have all the sex they want, father babies by children and aren't even called pedophiles. What we're seeing in Texas right now staggers the imagination.
But why would any woman get caught up into this? Are they below the standard level of intelligence.
These poor girls and women in their long dresses (reminding me of that Kansas Prairie Series on TV long ago: "little House on the Prairie") sound so child-like, lacking any sense or concept of reality. I suppose they don't have TV out there.
Do any of you know any of these folks who have 'escaped'? And why does Texas allow stuff like this? Wasn't Koresh and his Wackos from Waco enough? (Not that our government did the right thing there either.) But definitely, those kids and kid-women need to be rescued but the kids should be allowed to be with their moms in those foster homes. They must be really freaked out.

Some people are afraid of making their own decisions in life. They surrender their freedom to these "messiahs." They aren't allowed contact with the outside world. It's terribly sad and the children pay the highest price of all.
It seems to me that is happening more frequently, or perhaps there is just more media coverage of these cults.
I'm wondering if we as a nation are not getting more and more ignorant as the public schools turn into trade schools, teaching superficiality above all. And in order to keep a living standard that allows cable TV and all the other trash we clutter our lives up with, both parents work and turn the nurturing over to impersonal childcare pens.
Hungering for some warmth and ignorant of the dangers, these people flock to the promise of 'God's love' they never experienced in their homes, just being another check-off on the list of 'wants' by their parents.

Very just appreciation. Religions have always bred sheeple. In todays school system in the US, there are fundamentalists fighting to teach creationism as science. As long as there are these types of people, there will be sects and followers. Scientists are even at the cusp of confirming the discovery of the religiosity gene in humans. Maybe in the future, instead of choosing eye/hair color of the child, we'll be able to check NO on the religiosity box.

Fundamentalists aren't just fighting, in some venues they are succeeding. Expect more reactionism as progressives take to the floor.
As to a religiosity gene in humans, please share where you learned/heard of that.
Universities are working with certain genes which appear to affect personality traits like gullibility and trust patterns. Some researchers feel these will lead to a better understanding of who is "programmed" for religion/spirituality and who isn't. But we're not quite there yet. Simply Google "religion gene" and variations. Of course it will end up being some sort of "alcoholism gene" dealing more with a "nurtured propensity", rather than a certainty, as all things psychological go!

I moved to San Antonio Texas over 3 years ago from CT. I can honestly say that no one I know, know about any cults around here. IF you live in the country I can see this happening cause there is soooooo much farm land, houses miles apart and I bet you can do anything you want no one would hear you or see whats going on. From what I understand about cult you mentioned (that just got broken up) they were completly self sufficent so they problably never even left their little "village" They had everything including Dr's
I know if I saw someone walking around dressed like these people I probably wouldn't "do" anything. Amish, Quakers etc dress like this too not just crazy cult people. I would do a double take for sure
Having grown up in a state, where children (age 14) could go across the line to Mississippi and get legally hitched, I think it's funny they decided to settle in Texas. Cause child brides are OK there, anyhow.
That way they couldn't be prosecuted if the child brides were 13 instead of 14...especially if they didn't keep birth certificates.
So funny. And the government winds up with egg on its face, again.
Almost as bad as the DSS in Ma. Every other week, some kid dies a torturous death with cigarette burns, scalding leg burns, broken bones from being thrown against the wall.....in families KNOWN to the DSS but where the DSS just didn't get around to rescuing the kids. And the poor foster kids, those taken out of those abuse hells, they get raped, and become homeless far sooner than any other demographic group.
