Maybe this is what the families of Joseph Smith's new converts felt like

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/sep/23/qanon-conspiracy-theories-loved-ones

Came across this article today. It made me wonder if there was any kind of support group for the families of people who were pulled into Joseph Smith's first lies 100+ years ago, lol.

I liked this quote from the article, regarding cults:

“Falling for these types of groups happens to all types of people,” writes Steven Hassan, a mental health counselor who specializes in destructive cults and mind control. “It is a human experience to be taken advantage of, in many cases, and life goes on. You aren’t stupid or a bad person. We must continue to educate.”

An angry mob was an effective "support group."
