power. i know a few cult leaders because my ex was crazy and into the new age movement. majority of the leaders are male, and majority of the followers are female, its probably really easy for the leaders to fuck the female followers. i know one guy who apparently heals people and he runs a little group of a few hundred people in the internet, they sometimes meet up and shit.
