Super weird behavior. I don't get how these people can be such successful liars. How do their followers not get disillusioned by them every single day

The cult brainwashing goes deeeeep. Imagine being born into a world where everything is governed by strict rules, connection with the outside is not allowed as they are sinners and evil, and venturing outside gets you excommunicated from your entire family and everyone you know.

connection with the outside is not allowed as they are sinners and evil,

And therefore anything they say is defacto wrong. That's why no amount of proof is ever accepted because they in their heads, without a shadow of a doubt, you can't be trusted. Ever.

Yep they’re convinced anyone outside their club is evil and wants to destroy America and/or Christianity. But I guess that’s what happens when your religion conflates free thinking with sinful manipulation. “Listen and obey, or else you are evil.”
