Message #12813 - Mundane (Magicknet) Date : 16-Sep-90 12:04 From : Blanche Nonken To : All Discussing "cult Control" Subject : I Wonder How True The Following Is... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- @EID:6824 1530609d @MSGID: 1:273/715.3 26f3b0ba Normally I don't pay much regard to this sort of thing - consider if the individual involved had been "one of ours"? However, I find the whole "Deprogramming" thing foul enough to forward this... (I find it interesting that this is from the "Religious Freedom Project". Does that mean it's ok to pick on "them" but not to pick on "us"? ...BWN) * Original: AREA.... KRISHNA * Original: FROM.... Janardana Dasa * Original: TO...... All * Forwarded by...... Maximus-CBCS v1.02 at 1:273/715.3 RELIGIOUS FREEDOM PROJECT - S P E C I A L Chicago, IL - CONSIDERING A DEPROGRAMMING? Consider This... Rev. Michael Rokos, a Vicar in the Episcopal Church, President of the Board of Cult Awareness Network, former Chaplain to the Maryland State Police, has a remarkably impressive record. Not only has he ministered to the spiritual needs of perhaps dozens, but he is accepted by hundreds of "cult-watchers" as the number one expert on "destructive cultism" world-wide. He has worked with the U.S. Army in Japan in training military servicemen and their dependents there on cults, and has been actively instructing the Maryland State Police regarding Satanism and cults in general. As President of the Board of Directors of Cult Awareness Network, he is responsible for the smoothe running of the organization, which is a national clearinghouse for professional "depersonalizers", or deprogrammers, who are paid huge sums to kidnap and force persons of non-traditional religions to give up their faith. The Rev. Rokos must be proud of his distinguished record. I'm sure he would love for everyone to know of his many exploits, or would he? How about this Rev., July 3rd, 1982, Baltimore, on the corner of Belnord and Eastern Avenues, 2:00am. Ring a bell? Huh? It does to then Police Officer Joseph R. Wyatt, the Vice detective you mistook for a teen aged male prostitute and solicited for lewd activities with... Lets hear from the Officer himself: "...About one half minute later I observed the same Volkswagen and driver... I realized that the Volkswagen had gone around the corner and had returned to my location. The driver of the Volkswagen [yes, Rokos] looked directly at me. ...the driver motioned with his hand for me to come to the car... The driver immediately asked me if I wanted to go with him for a ride. I said no and asked him what he wanted. He said he had a place in Bel Air and asked me if I wanted to go there with him. I told him I wasn't interested and walked away." "About forty minutes later I observed the same Volkswagen and same driver had returned. I watched him out of the corner of my eye. About fifteen seconds later the driver beeped the horn of the Volkswagen. I turned and walked over to his car. I said to him, 'What do you want?' He said, 'I want you to go home with me.' I then asked him 'What are you interested in?' He stated 'I want you to tie me up, put clothes pins on my nipples and make me suck your d*ck'". - - Sworn Statement of Officer Joseph Wyatt on his Arresting Rev. Michael Rokos Now eight years have past since Rokos was arrested for approaching what he believed to be a young teen-aged male prostitute, with such a, shall we say, bizarre request to satisfy his perversions. Today, he is touted as the nations expert on troubled teens, persons he considers vulnerable to "cult recruitment". Considering a deprogramming? Try going to the top man in the business. He'll turn your son (never mind the daughters) into the model image of civil virtue and correct religion. - J. L.
