I found the information in the chapter about cults very interesting. According to the text, most of the people who join cults are normal, everyday people who "...are in a transitional phase of life." The text also states that cults prefer intelligent, productive individuals. The information presented in the text resignated with me as one of my friends was a part of a cult when she went away for college. This situation was disturbing not only to her family but to her friends as well. It's interesting that my friend's experience is consistent with the information presented in the text. She is very intelligent and was in a transitional stage of her life...college.
