      Ah well, I did listen to the 6-part podcast series of The Last Podcast On The Left the last couple of weeks about Mormonism and although they have different branches with different beliefs and calling each-other 'worse than heresy' the main points of a cult are still checked. But that's the most deepest dive I've ever done into it.

        It certainly beats Scientology and the Mormon story is somehow more believable, no sarcasm.

            Yeah I believe that. I only know the name, the bunker fame, and something mass weddings, korea, and the church does have at least one Dutch chapter.

            What if I told you all three were linked inexorably by the same original set of beliefs - and same end goal?
