Actually realspeed, I think you might be wrong ...perhaps jumping to conclusions?

The article in the RadioTimes is a fascinating insight, and they sound genuinely lovely people.

Christian yes, and that of course won't appeal to many, BUT their acceptance of sexual difference impressed me.
Tolerance and understanding seemed paramount.

We could do with some of that on here!

At 18 the young ones go out into the world and have plenty of time and support to decide whether to return. Many do.

I rather liked this question asked by a member of the organisation of the tv documentary programme maker...
"What do you have in your life that you can offer me, that you think I might want?"

They do use modern technology in their production manufacturing and they drive
.
AND they're not homophobic!!!

BBC 1 on Thursday @ 10.35pm

Why not watch it with an open mind?

You think I'm gullible just because I sense these folk are happy, and I'm going to watch the programme with an open mind?

Ok so be it...

No need these sudo religious groups all work on the same basis, their leader is out to make money from those unaware of the con.
Start reading their rubbish and you soon get drawn in, that is how they work.
DON'T GET FOOLED they are con artists, worse than door to door salesmen

All they do is tell you what you want to hear, usually by talking softly and drone on about what they are getting out of it, just a lot of BS to draw you in

I had one of these nutters in the same hospital ward that I was in. he started on obout how friendly is religious organisation was and how they looked after him . Funny none turned up while he was in hospital. Eventually ill as I was I told him to shut up in not so polite words

If you can't see how they operate then beware


Remember Religion is what you believe in not some other smooth talking creeps luring you into theirs
