February/March 2006: Endtimes Cults

Jonestown and Heaven's Gate being the most notorious, there are obviously quite a few entimes or endtimes-related cults in existence right now.

What is your experience with an endtimes cult? What did they say they were doing (their reason for existence), versus what they were actually doing? How did they get members to join? How did they keep members? What was the leader like and how did this person present themself?
