It really is amazing, even in the 21st century, just how easy it still is to brainwash people and make them believe all manner of made-up nonsense. Here then is another story of a ridiculous church and its congregation of halfwits who follow along like mindless sheep in the grand tradition of Joseph Smith, Jim Jones, L. Ron Hubbard, Marshall Applewhite, Warren Jeffs, Keith Raniere, et al.
The Light of the World Church is really no different to any of the others: led by the customary male con artists who, as always, have had their own special chat with God and are willing to share the divine gossip - for a price.
No doubt you will have heard about similar organisations before, so rest-assured The Light of the World story is nothing new. It contains all the same sordid ingredients we have seen countless times before. And while it is always hard to feel sorry for its gullible followers it is, nonetheless, another valuable insight into just how easy it is for cults and their leaders to manipulate and control so many people.
For the rest of us, it's painful enough being tricked with a sleight of hand, or having ones good nature taken advantage of on rare occasions, but imagine being scammed for your entire life - ouch!
It is little wonder that so many find it difficult to stand up and muster the courage to look past their own reflection into the truth, and the light.
