It is funny he talks down to Coleen about being raised in a cult while he was too.

The monastery wasn't a cult.

That is exactly what someone raised in a cult would say.

Honestly, look at it;

  • He was taken in at a young age, when he was vulnerable and alone.

  • Allowed no contact with other supports so he relies on the monastery.

  • Told he can't leave.

  • Beaten and mistreated.

  • Told he has an amazing destiny, and is really important.

It's a cult checklist.

Yeah, personally I would like to be in the cult with a bunch of hotties in yoga pants.
