But why would they do that? They aren't rich, and since half of them are lawyers it's not like they don't have other ways to make money. I don't doubt that they make a living off of their lawsuits, but the idea that they would spend their whole lives cynically pretending to be crazy just to protect a pretty moderate cash flow doesn't make sense. They are a real cult.Honestly I have no doubt of the sincerity of the documenter but the people? The people are liars. Every time I see them on the news or doing documentaries about themselves it feels like an act. It isn't so crazy to think of it as an act either. They make a ton of money from their actions, they need to keep up their appearance as a bunch of crazies, I wouldn't put it above them to act it all out to retain their status.
No, they're legit. And they're 100% serious. Sure, they purposely stir the pot but I think underneath that, they do believe what they preach. Sure they go over the top for attention, but it isn't like their religious belief is a lie. They are without a doubt a cult, in my mind.Honestly I have no doubt of the sincerity of the documenter but the people? The people are liars.

Guessing there is a Manhattan in Kansas, that's some hike if not.No, they're legit. And they're 100% serious.

Back when I lived in Manhattan, which was in the mid '90s, I'd occasionally drive by them in Topeka and see them protesting at the side of the street. This was before they were anywhere as wide known as they are now, and they were more or less just a local phenomenon. And still they'd be out there, hated by the local populace, yelling at cars as people drove by.
