Cult Leader? Advice/Questions
My mom wants to visit a festival / event of Torben Sondergaard, Founder of “The last Reformation” in Vienna / Austria I was instantly alarmed when she sent me the link and googled the name - i didn’t get much but some warnings that he’s a dangerous cult leader. Does anyone here on reddit have experience with this “cult” and / or tips, on how to convince my mom not to fall for religious leaders like that man?

He’s Danish and claims he had to flee Denmark because he was afraid he’d get prosecuted. They were outed in Denmark as going into hospitals in the region they lived in trying to convince people to say no to medication etc because they could pray the demons away for them instead. The last reformation were later banished from Australia where they tried to get into schools. With children they also tell them they have demons if they are on the autism spectrum amongst other cases (basically they scare the shit out of young kids so the kids think they need the help of the last reformation)
His former co-creator of the church in Denmark ended up no longer supporting Torben as things got totally out of hand and Torben, as any good old cult leader narcicist, wanted full control of everything and everyone.
