Football star Pat Tillman made headlines when he famously turned down a $3.6 million contract to continue playing with the Arizona Cardinals to join the Army Rangers following 9/11.

Many people have described social media as a cult. From following every word of an influencer to seeking the fame and fortune it can promise young people, the comparison is sometimes fair. However, in Southern California, an actual TikTok cult cuts members off from their families, gives the leader control of their finances, and forces them to live on cult-run properties, all in exchange for millions of follows and brand deals. The new Netflix documentary Dancing for the Devil not only explored the cult talent agency but exposed how Pastor Robert Shinn had been using those same tactics in his insulated Shekinah Church for nearly 30 years.
