Another one of those "isolation from the outside world 'cos it's EVIL" cults, trying to screw around. I recently watched a current affairs program which had an article on their activities in an Australian town. They wanted to build a church that was going to be "a public place of worship", but won't be able to be attended by anyone other than themselves. And where a family court ruling has given the cultists curry because a man who left the cult wasn't given access to his children.

Pass 'round the Kool-Aid and cyanide, because if they think the world is evil, they haven't met me, o know what I think of cults. Hey, Flagg, wanna join me in some cult-baggin'?

In New Zealand's 2005 elections the EB spent half a million dollars to try to help the National party win seats. Apparently they got away with it.

The loons don't believe in voting, but trying to buy elections is OK, very strange.

I heard that they tried to do the same, more or less, here in Australia.

Exclusive Brethren, aka the Plymouth Brethren, a sect/cult that believes in MAJOR isolation from the world, we're talking Jim Jones-style here. Look it up on Wikipedia if you want.

Apparently the Exclusive Brethren is a wing of the Plymouth Brethren.

Did you know Aleister Crowley's parents belonged to the Exclusive Brethren?
