    I have never heard anyone say Jones, Koresh or Hubbard were mentally ill. They were very talented con artists.

      lol maybe you’re not listening very hard then because they get called nuts all the time and for good reason

      mass suicide isn’t a con and neither is sending a fleet of ships crewed by rank amateurs around the mediterranean in search of gold you claimed to have buried in your past lives a la hubbard. whether he genuinely believes in the existence of the gold or doesn’t, it reveals something deeply wrong about him.

      They go hand in hand. Narcissistic personality disorder plus antisocial personality disorder is what makes them so charismatic.
