Selling products from home - a cult? Is it possible that Multi-Level Marketing schemes selling products such as make-up, vitamins, cleaning products, etc, could actually be alarmingly similar in structure to a religious cult?
ALEXANDRA STEIN, Ph.D, is a writer and educator specializing in the social psychology of cults and other dangerous social relationships.
MARK from TalkBeliefs chats with Alexandra on MLMs, how they work and why the way they are organized are frighteningly similar to the coercive structure of cults.

![How Mormon Worthiness Interviews Shames Children ~ with activist Sam Young [Explicit references]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/aT-mznqM0Q8/mqdefault.jpg "How Mormon Worthiness Interviews Shames Children ~ with activist Sam Young [Explicit references]
The Mormon Church is known for some unusual practices, but not many know about so-called worthiness interviews that children and youths are expected to attend...
In these interviews, Mormon leaders - bishops - have one-on-one interviews behind closed doors with young people from the congregation, asking them personal questions - including questions of a sexual nature.
SAM YOUNG grew up in the LDS (Mormon) church but was eventually excommunicated for speaking out about these interviews. Today he continues to campaign to change the program and programs like this.
MARK from Talk Beliefs catches up with Sam to hear the entire story.
***Please be aware that there are sexual references in this interview which may not be suitable for some viewers.***
