A textbook cult if there ever was one. Charismatic all knowing, all powerful leader? Check. The leader and the leader's doctrine cannot be questioned? Check. Forces members into submission? Double check. Uses confession to learn your deepest darkest fears and then uses those fears to manipulate members? Check. Leader claims to have 'magic powers'? Check. Take all your money for the 'good of the group'? Check. Uses that money for the good of the leader AND ONLY the leader? Double check. Talk of suicide pacts? Check.
It doesn't get any more textbook than this, unfortunately. They claim to be working towards the greater good and spiritual enlightenment, but it's basically a front to get their ugly ass leader his retarded side-head ponytail laid as much as humanly possible while taking money from whatever wide-eyed followers he can get his hands on. Are you a man in the tribe? You're there to attract girls for Magic to take from you. Are you a woman in the tribe? You're there to please the leader sexually. Regardless, you'll be giving them your money.
Maybe you think the tribe is your step up to fame and fortune? Maybe you think you can use them to launch your own career? I've got news for you. Magic's been chasing fame and fortune since the 70's, and hasn't had a hit in over 30 years, it's not going to happen for him, and it's not going to happen for you while you're there. Get away while you can, and if you're strong and you work at it you can piece your life back together.
