A recent documentary was (re) aired and can be viewed here [link] (that's part one of five)
The man leading this group claims to be the Christ and/or Michael (arch angel?). Either way, he claims with certainty that he is divinity and humanity combined, sent by God to deliver 'His' people at the end times (now).
What I've found most notable about these folks, is there LACK of disconnect from the outside world - quite the contrary. Now, 'cults 101' tells me this is one of the prerequisites for forming a good cult...cut off your flock from outside influence and information.
This group is quite tech savvy, have there own site, make elaborate videos, and regularly communicate via their site, blogs, and even youtube accounts. Does this make them any less a 'traditional' cult? Could it make them less dangerous (less prone to end up a lot of dead bodies) since they have this daily communication with outsiders? Or is it perhaps an ingenious recruitment tool?
Secondly, it would appear that all of the minors were finally removed as of a couple of weeks ago. With earlier allegations of a possible mass suicide, and the more recent allegations of child sexual abuse, few would argue this was a bad move (though if you do, please argue away!).
But, at what point does it become acceptable for the state to move in and stop the ADULTS from their practices if it does in fact appear to be moving toward a mass suicide? Is there ever a point when the state and its' laws trump religious freedom (suicide being against the law)?
I've found this a fascinating, if frightening case, and am currently in communications with one of the members. It's been a truly odd inside look.
Curious to hear your views on the goings on there, their modern tech-cult approach and where the boundaries of the state's power might lie?
