Hey! We've got weird, repressive, elitist, cults here in the U.S. too, only they're called born-again X-tians. Unlike New Zealand, politicians in the U.S. actually vie for their votes AND promise to back their weird beliefs like Creationism. As a matter of fact, many of the politicians now in power in the U.S. owe their current career to this weird, brainwashed group.

Actually, I'd say that the Exclusive Bretheren are an endogamous tribe rather than a cult.
