My wife grew up in the cult. I have been with her for a few years now, and she is still coming up with stories about how crazy they are. Examples: Swimming in public pools is not allowed because it is immodest, her mother likes to commit arson on things she considers to be "the devil", etc. Good reasons to hate them include the fact they are anti-semitic, dont believe in educating women, dont allow interracial dating, are just a huge bunch of assholes in general, and Mel Gibson is a member. They could best be described as "evil"
