I love all things Courtney Summers. This one was a little slow at first, but boy did it pack a punch at the end. The draw was there, figuring out how a cult begins, learning how people are drawn in. It also showed how the insulation of a cult keeps the members going. I think one of the things about the Project is we see not only the cult itself, but also all the people who are affected by the cult- the family members, the people who leave, and those who are still in it, as well as the cult members who are leading it. If anything, Ms. Summers helped me understand more about how people are brought into cults and stay. And we see how they twist the words around in the Bible for self-promotion, which has never been my interpretation of the Bible. Well done, and definitely you need to keep reading to the end.
