Who wins the prize as the most Cult like program?

Okay, having read that I and me shit, I would have to say that you gentlemen were in a total nuthouse...however...I think Roloff's should at LEAST get an honorable mention for the most culty due to their firm beliefs in separation from family, (a visit at six months, monitored telephone conversations and mail to and FROM the parents). You got workshops, we got Bible studies, church services, devotions...reprogramming, mind control, brainwashing. You got journals, we got notebooks to write scriptures over and over and over and over. And over. No television, no radio except for Lester's sermons...windows with alarms, fences with barbwire...
Saw somewhere along the way that someone wanted to know who Roloff worked for...none other than himself, I say. Once he died, he BECAME the golden calf, baby. While based on Christianity and fundamentalist values, the eager followers quickly elevated the deceased Roloff to sainthood, nay, godhood. Alas, he was but a man after all, and less godlike, more worm food like.

Roloff is not cultlike, it is a cult. Lester Roloff referred to himself as God's Apostle. He railed against all things secular as being either communist or of the devil, take your pick. He ordered fasting, preached that young girls that were molested were at fault because they tempted their abuser, told his followers what to eat, drink, wear, do with their money. Locked the girls from Rebekah in the church for 3 weeks to keep welfare away from them. Roloff is not cult-like it is a cult and it is alive and kicking.
