I just listened to a podcast about that cult and the craziness that happened in Oregon. It was wild. I'll be watching for sure.

Wife and I finished it a couple of weeks ago. Great docuseries. I don’t remember this and neither do my parents. Seems to have gotten a lot of National coverage.

I recommend it to the Pack, it's a super series on the Netflix:




Had a 2nd cousin that joined that cult, and moved out there, way back when. He was living in Seattle at the time. He was much older than me. I remember him coming to visit once, after he'd been out there for a few years. Had that orange robe on, with the brown beads. Was driving a Mercedes. Very weird. They made them sign over all of their assets to the cult. He had about 400 acres of land that he'd inherited from my great uncle, that was right across the road from my parent's house and land. The cult didn't end up with that land in the end, though. Long story how that came to be. I won't bore the masses.

I thought it was very well done. Very captivating and made me really wonder about two things; were things so bad back then that everyone was searching for sort of new way of thinking/living? And it seems hardly anyone was fat back then, wow we’ve gotten fat as hell over the last 30+ years.

I include myself in that last comment.

Very interesting, my roommate my first semester

Freshman year was a Krishna of some kind. He never spoke a word to me and slept on his
Mattress frame, I rarely stayed there but when I did I slept with one eye open. Cults are fascinating.

Yep, if i was banging her I would have slept with one eye open too. She was one

tough mama and obviously very intelligent.

We really have gotten FAT, processed foods, fast food, less exercise is taking

it's toll. If you go to Europe you will be amazed at the difference in body sizes to the USA. Those were wild times that probably would have gotten wilder had it not been for that sobering
thing called AIDS. I remember one of my buddies response when he read the first big news article about AIDS, his response "I'm a dead man".
