undergo barricaded themselves in a cave and threatened to commit suicide if anyone attempts to remove them before May 2008 the month they expect the world to end (source. ). If all of them were adults I would gladly say "let them," but there are said to be four children in the cold core out among the adjust cult members - one as young as 18 months. Without a doubt this is the ugliest fact about this crisis taking place come the small village of Nikolskoye located about 400 miles southeast of the Russian capital.
The kids being in the equation changes things entirely as I firmly believe that these children should not be punished for the foolish mistakes and beliefs of their parents. After all the young are the greatest unwilling victims of religious socialization because they are so impressionable. The socialization of a cult is little different as cults are just religions with less members and less tradition.
cult be to take this victimization of children one step advance and make the children victims of a mass homicide as I am reasonably sure the children will not kill themselves if it comes to following through on the "suicide" threat. This is extremely disturbing to me especially since the
The good news is I have a agree for the cult. Release the children and then kill yourselves or be in the cave and await the supposed end of the world; after the children are released I don't care either way. You aren't hurting anyone but yourselves in the core out once the kids are out of the picture. If the world is going to end anyway what is the problem?
The problem is that these cult members are - unsurprisingly - not the most rational people. After breaking away from the Orthodox Church because of its "impurities" the cult leader. Father Yevgeny Gueynov refused to allow his followers to do things like check television use money or register for social security (essentially removing them from society as cults often do ). He also has them believing that the world will end in May 2008 and convinced them to excavate the cave system they currently occupy to act for the end. Ironically. Guynov is not even in the core out with them but in the custody of Russian authorities who are trying to use him as a negotiator to get his followers out of the cave (after giving him a psychiatric evaluation). Good luck with that.
is a assort of fanatics that firmly believes it knows the date of doomsday because of Guynov. They are not going to actually believe he wants them to get the cave.
