" Kapland &Sadock's Synopsis Of Psychiatry 10 edition" writes about two pages dealing with cults and charismatic leaders. How did Marshall Appleton (Bo) and Bonnie Nettles (Peep) convince intelligent individuals God was in a flying saucer following a comet and the Earth was about to be destroyed "Recycled" and the only way to jump to the next level of existence was to "hate your physical body so much, you force yourself to die.", being unable to leave their physical body, they swallowed phenobarbital with pina and washed it down with wodka. The group was against suicide, so why was it cool to take their own life using drugs, pina, wodka and wrap a plastic bag around their head with ties?
Bo and Peep were experts with young people creating the illusion of a loving group that cared about itself. How come nobody stood up to their leaders? Standing up to God's "Two Witnesses" landed their members out on the cold pavement. Their Cult provided a safe sanctuary from the hardships of the World and personal interaction with unbelievers. Bo and Peep loved their little sheep even though their ideas were often strange and contradicting. Why do innocent people follow the cults, because cult leaders are charismatic gifted liars. Bo and Peep wanted to guide their sheep into God's New World and only they had "saying of life" because they were special.
Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep
And can't tell where to find them.
Leave them alone, And they'll come home,
Wagging their tails behind them
Little Bo peep fell fast asleep
And dreamt she heard them bleating;
But when she awoke, she found it a joke,
For they were still a-fleeting.
Then up she took her little crook,
Determined her to find them;
She found them indeed, but it made her heart bleed,
For they'd left their tails behind them.
It happened one day, as Bo peep did stray
Into a meadow hard by,
There she espied their tails side by side,
All hung on a tree to dry.
She heaved a sigh and wiped her eye,
And over the hillocks went rambling,
And tried what she could, as a sheperdess should,
To tack each again to its lambkin
