Consider a cult like the WTBTS with the control turned up a little bit and with a touch of racism added.

You've got someone at the top who claims to have a direct pipeline to God and no accountability. When you have those two premises, you've got a deadly combination.
They preach that the end of the world is coming very soon. This gives the group a real crisis mentality. It creates urgency and that's a very useful tool for Mr. Spriggs.
While state governments regulate home-schooling programs, children of the Twelve Tribes don't receive high school diplomas. They also aren't allowed to seek out high school equivalency degrees or go to college.
Children aren't allowed to fantasize, pretend or have toys. Magazines, TV, radio and music are banned and independent thought is considered sinful.
Doctors are rarely used, children aren't given vaccinations and they teach that it's acceptable to lie to those who don't deserve the truth - including the courts, social workers, police officers and the media.
"It's like a big mind game. You don't have any choice (for) yourself," Zeb said. "They subtly control you. When everyone's that controlled, the elders have a lot of power. They really don't care about other people, they just want authority."
wow, i cant imagine what that must be--oh, wait a minute.

I have helped a few families here in Australia who had people in this cult, and we have managed to get three out of the Ozzie one so far. Their stories were just as horrific!!!!!
By 18 months their children daren't even look as though they want to cry .... they have a great fear of the whipping stick that is used on them from babyhood.
