Let's see, Jim Jones and his cult are no longer here. Applewhite and his
cult are no longer here. Jim Jones was a singular event that appealed to
poverty striken people and those from "minority" races. Applewhite
appealed to those that were willing to believe that there was this
biblical spaceship waiting to take them away. Bad mouthing? Well,
obviously you don't hang out too much on a.r.s. because I recall
recently that there were a few threads going about Jones and the
surrounding hoopla (political and otherwise). Applewhite's group is just
too damn uncomfortable for anyone to talk about. Those people were very
normal before they got involved. And that there was just a few of them
their bio's were easy to dig up and publish. Nothing spectacular there
at all. Rather difficult to bad mouth people that didn't have a mean
bone in their bodies, weren't following any organizations orders to
supress information or to silence critics. Although Jones made a good
attempt to do so...but that all ended with Jones being gone. I find your
"spin" on what you think is happening with Co$ to be amusing. Kinda
reminds me of when all the hoopla was going on about Werner...and how
Werner Erhard "accused" Co$ of "doing him in" and I recall that there is
some meantion of a "death threat" or two that was publicized. You
wouldn't know anything about that though would you? And for you
information -- if it wasn't for a psychiatrist my daughter would not be
getting the help that she needs and no damn dictionary in a Co$
classroom would help her with what is going on. Unless the Co$ has a
magic cure for dyslexia...or is it more ignore the condition like I've
been hearing for the past six months? It's all in your head...it's not
really happening...you can wish this all away...if that was so, Co$
wouldn't exist. I would have wished them and a few other groups away...

right. Say it enough times you might actually get someone to believe you
somewhere...great tactic although it is starting to wear a bit on the
thin side around here with me. And I can't wait for someone to tell you
to "publish" these facts of yours...since we have to do this most of the
time I expect that the same people will demand this out of you. -pam
