Same eyes in cult documentaries.
I escaped #TheChildrenOfGod at 17. We were the same. Glazed, shallow eyes, too happy, too brainwashed to connect any dots.
It's some kind of disassociation. I used to call it "eyes and teeth" in my mind.
There is no humanity, you're in attack mode, surrounded by enemies, you repeat yourself and laugh. Nothing gets in.

@RustyBertrand I'm so glad you made it out of there. Just wanted to let you know.
@RustyBertrand (serious question) What puzzles me is that normally intelligent, often competent, successful adults (not just young, impressionable youth) get pulled into cults. I feel like I’m smart enough not to fall for TFG’s cult of personality. But so many (70 million!) others (many of whom are much more intelligent than me) do. Can you help explain this situation?
