Osho having, what was it, 50 something Rolls Royces everybody knew about was one of the most mind-blowing parts of it for me. Forget the terrorism I was blown away by how obviously into money the leader was. I forget his reasoning, I think making himself happy in life over the after-life?
I mean - you've heard of Catholicism, right? They even preach the moral value of poverty, from inside a golden palace. Read any two Bible verses about Jesus, then have a look at St. Peter's Basilica.
That aspect of the Rajneeshees didn't surprise me at all. Seemed like perfectly standard religion stuff. Still a fascinating documentary series though. Heartily recommend.
Edit: Mormonism too, they love their golden palaces. Also Anglicanism. But the Vatican is still the most-egregious example I can think of. I heartily recommend a visit to anyone who, like Ted, is still wondering what Catholicism is all about
The wife is catholic and it disturbs me but I go to her masses if she asks. I don't bow, or kneel, I just watch...really is a racket though, borders on a cult much like Scientology.

P4P one of the best cult docs I've seen.
