There are a lot of different cult leaders out there, but many of them have a lot of the same characteristics. They are able to bind their followers to them by shared belief and practices. They boost their societal status by projecting dominance over others, either physically or mentally. They often display arrogance, and share their controversial views to gain followers. Now a great example of this is a man who the press has called the “chiseled charlatan”.
So get comfortable my spooky friends…you are about to hear the tale of Jamie Gomez: From Porn to Cult Leader. But a word of caution before we get started: today we are going to be talking about the inner workings of a cult.
