    That hair!!

    Interesting documentary. I wish the structure was more in order as it was a bit all over the place, but there was a lot of information and I enjoyed it. It makes me so sad that people get sucked into cults like this. I feel so sorry for all of the children, especially Joseph.

    I wish we got to hear how the people who left the Church were able to do it and what happened afterward.

    I wonder if God brought the plane down...awkward!

    Looking forward to the new episodes next year.
