ABSTRACT
Every year almost, coming from everywhere and anywhere, the charismatic Pied Pipers of religion appear on the scene: Jim Jones, David Koresh, Sun Myung Moon, Rajneesh, and others captivate and seem to enslave those who hear their tune, and mystify and terrify those who hear nothing at all and who are forced to watch helplessly as their children and neighbors march off into the side of the mountain.
