    GRM is a Christian ministry that requires all residents to work for them without pay for “six hours a day, six days a week in exchange for a bunk for 30 days.” They also cannot look for outside work during that month. That’s not all though. They must also attend church every Sunday (from a pre-approved list); Unitarian services are not acceptable. And they have to attend a chapel service twice a day. And they can’t smoke or drink. And they can’t have sex during their stay

    So it’s a cult. Why are cults allowed to pull crap like this? This kind of thing should be prosecuted.

      Why are cults allowed to pull crap like this?

      Because it serves the interests of partisan leadership within the state. Loyal foot soldiers desperate enough to bend the knee for this shitty deal are an invaluable human resource that private industry and fascist activism seeks to cultivate.

      All religions are cults and they all belong locked up in asylums.
