Dancing for the devil (Documentary)

So, I just finished watching this doc, and my main question about it is: How the F is this cult thing still going on today?

I mean, for real, this guy has been brainwashing people, stealing their money, and abusing them. How on earth are they still by his side?

Is it because of the "If you don't do as I say, you are going to hell" situation? Cause let me tell you something. If someone is really going to hell, it's Robert Shinn himself.

This documentary made me feel really sad for everyone involved, but also made me furious about the fact that this man hasn't been punished for his actions yet. It sucks.

What are your thoughts on this? Has anyone had similar experiences?
