Hi mike, yes it may be good to have an idea of what the moonies were up to, it's more the sort of thing the cult information centre need, but
it will help us build up a picture of what the ja get up to, and what is possible, lets hope it helps.

I feel that with Stanton gone the ja is a different animal, and will change, and has has the potential to get worse, and more extreme, so it's worth getting info about other cults, as their methods may be the ones the ja employ over time.
