Abstract
- Destructive sects have used religious rituals to justify human rights violations. Cultic leaders try to legitimize these aberrant conducts by using messianic discourses and patriarchal structures. This study analyzes how a religious leader can break the laws of his own organization and still maintain control over his followers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
