You know what?

That'll teach everyone.

Yeah, how cool of you.

So the human individual metamorphosis movement continued into the 80s with the small group of followers expanding and contracting year after year.

They picked some up, they dropped some off.

They picked some up, they dropped them off.

But they never reached more than 100 members.

During that period, Bonnie and Marshall, who had rebranded yet again and were now going by the names of T and Doe, they developed a kind of paranoia that grew out of their apocalyptic beliefs.

Okay.

Among other things, they worried that either they or somebody amongst their group was going to be assassinated.

Oh.

Obviously, that fear was influenced by Jonestown.

Yeah.

But the group continued traveling around the U.S.

for a few years, living off whatever money its members had picked up and picking up new members here and there.

At first, the structure of the group was informal, but over time it did start to take on a more rigid form.

Marshall demanded that if members were going to travel with them, they had to cut themselves off entirely from their families and fully abandon their previous lives.

That's the red flag.

Yeah.

That's it right there.
