RE: Drinking the Kool-Aid: Part Two, Total Control
You do know that the Apostolic Faith Mission started in South Africa on the back of the "poor white problem" which emerged from after the Rinderpest when folk lost their livestock and therefore livelihoods? Had the potential to have ended up as a cult. There are folk that suggest that, in its early days, Rhema was heading in the same direction. It was also the foundation for job reservation.....
No, I didn't - that's very interesting. I was reading about some of these communities a while back - mainly public works-type setups for poor Afrikaners. They were hectic places. I guess good hunting grounds for such groups.
