Perhaps it is time to infiltrate a successful contemporary cult
like Landmark Forum and see what they're doing right[1]. Any volunteers?

[1] Actually I know some of their successful techniques: target
people with low self-esteem for "free seminars". Once you have them
trapped in a room, lecture them for hours on end without bathroom
breaks. Give them homework assignments they can't start until
after midnight to ensure sleep depravation. Refuse to continue
the course until everyone has done the assignment to ensure
extreme peer pressure is brought to bear on people that resist
induction.
