Were you really served Kool-Aid to drink? At a place that cost five thousand dollars a month??!!

I wrote the Kool Aid post, along with a few other anon ones. When we say, drink the kool aid, we mean buy into the whole cultic program. (Brainwashed.) I believe this is a reference to an old cult where teh leader actually convinced his followers to drink teh Kool Aid--which had fatal poison in it. They brought into the cult to the extent they were willing to drink poison. And they gave it to their children!

Yes, Jones Town. You might find this interesting. Jim Jones started out his ministry with, among other things, drug rehab. This was back in the `60's. By `74 and a couple of moves later, he moved his following to Guyana to avoid scrutiny stateside.
It's very, very similar to the Synanon treatment cult stories in a number of ways.

Seems like a lot of cults like to use rehab as a recruiting office. The Scientologists use groups like Narconon to pick up new members, indoctrinating them while they're recovering. When someone's going through heroin withdrawal, you can convince them of all kinds of crazy shit.
