So how did a single generation turn it into doomsday prophets, free love communes, eugenics ledgers, and a woman who declared herself the second coming of Christ? One cult poisoned a man and walked. One bred its own members like livestock and became a silverware company you've probably eaten off of. And the servant who blew the whole thing open in court walked out and became Sojourner Truth.
