Yet another religious cult raided

[eppie]

I do indeed. Remember the deprogrammers and cults in the 70's and 80's? Try this on for size: I've dealt with some pretty extreme branches of Pentacostals in the Navy, in my past, and am very familiar with the narrow world view excercised within those circles.

This also goes for the mainstream religions, and of course the strictest people in these religions.

Leaving the religion with which you grew up and that is practiced by many of you family members and friends because you found out that it is 'untrue' can be a very emotionally difficult thing to do even for very intelligent people. Doctrine by religions is something not recognized by the world community and something that deserves attention from human rights group.
Freedom of religion means that you are allowed to practice whatever religion you feel attracted to, it doesn't mean that you can make your kids into zombies (this doesnot only go for sects but also for you mainstream christian, muslim and jewish religion).
