Difficult Dates
Please note that not all cults observe all holidays. Dates with significance to individual groups, like leaders&rsquo birthdays, may also be celebrated. Those groups that utilize numerology mark dates whose numbers add up to ‘‘power numbers’’ or dates with repeating numbers, such as October 10, 2010.
More information on some of the major holidays is found at http://www.survivorship.org/resources/articles/holidays.html
