The sad part of these kinds of stories, are the Children. I was raise Mormon and know what it is to be programmed at an early age, children will believe their parents, their fresh innocent little minds are the perfect soil for seeds of mis-direction and slight of hand confusion, constantly re-enforced to believe a single strain of reasoning, which is put forth from "The General Authority in any Orginization"
The difference between some people and programmable people is maybe like my experience.
At age 9 I knew in my gut it wasn't right, but because they are my Guardians, I became the "little robot" they wanted until age 13, I rebelled against them and the religion. But that's me, my other siblings didn't, they're still robots, afraid of being "socially outcast" within the group.
If your just a little guy or gal you depend on your parents and go with the program, there is little you can do. If you were a part of "David Koreshs or Jim Jones Group" their would be nothing else to do but, die along side them.
When your that young, you don't have a say in it, your doomed by the Words of these kind of "Insane Leaders"
