Cult involvement is perhaps best seen as similar to an addictive drug.
On the one hand, it can provide ecstatic highs, feelings of well-being orboosts in confidence.
On the other, it can lead to a total dependence, so that it is focused on at the expense of one's family, friends, job, or health. Like drug addicts, cult members can end up giving all their money to fund their search for the next peak experience. If they get very deeply involved, they can, in effect, give up their moral and intellectual judgements in favour of a blind acceptance of what the cult dictates.
