Something about this statement kept nagging at me, and I couldn't figure out what it was until now. It's that it displays an absolute ignorance of the nature of cults. A cult wouldn't HAVE to require a follower to attend one of its functions. A cult's control over its followers is such that they would WANT to attend, and believe that wanting to was their own idea.
