I read an article in Rolling Stone a couple weeks ago, that I think you'd find a hoot. Matt Talabi (sp?) infiltrated hagee's sect. He spent about 3 weeks with them. The article focused on a weekend retreat he went on with them at the end of the 3 weeks.

The article does a good job of describing the psychological tactics these groups use. And how a week minded person could get sucked in.

But at the same time there's some very laughable parts. During the retreat the crowd is broken up into smaller groups where the leader of the group has everyone go around and describe something your parents did to you went you were little that is the root cause of why your screwed up. And how the only way to fix your life is to accept jesus.

Matt found himself being really put on the spot, and he searched his mind for a while to come up with something for the group. He described to them all how his father was an alchoholic circus clown. And he used to chase the children around with his big clown shoes, whipping them with the shoes. And how traumatized he became of big clown shoes.

>>Are you sure this is even a real church? The site almost seems like a spoof. With 15 year old boys involved, maybe.

>Exactly my reaction, but unfortunately I think these freaks are real. Seem to remember I saw them at some AIDs victim's funeral disrupting the proceedings and diving in front of TV cameras.
