New Documentary Series Seeking Survivors of Scientology

A highly-respected A/V team, putting together a new documentary series, is seeking survivors of Scientology—or families containing current members—to tell their story to help educate and protect the general public. They may also provide help with reconnecting with loved ones still in the CoS, or provide other support as needed. Part of their objectives are to use their own resources to help restore communication between family members or friends, if possible—obviously no one can make finite promises re specific outcomes. If you would like to be considered for participation in this docu-series or utilizing such a platform to tell your story, please contact FACT as soon as possible.

Speak the Truth Even If Your Voice Shakes

As a follow up to our previous post regarding our upcoming exposes, we know that it is a common tactic by cultic organizations / self-proclaimed gurus to use legal retaliation in order to intimidate outspoken victims and their supporters into submission and silence.

Well, we at FACT will not be intimidated by threats. All of our work and exposes are founded on truth and the truth is always defendable. We would never publish an expose that is not substantiated by facts and evidence.

We will however republish information from online sources like social media, newspapers, magazines, etc., in addition to publishing facts from our own private investigations.

Our first expose will be next week on Guy Miller Ministries so stay tuned...

The Complaints Keep Coming In...

Over the last few months we've received complaints from numerous victims of various groups. The complaints are against these five leaders / groups specifically:

1) Jerry Stocking (Clarkesville, GA)
2) Marc Gafni (International)
3) Guy Miller Ministries (McKeesport, PA)
4) Shambhala / Naropa University (International / Boulder, CO)
5) Like Swans (San Francisco, CA)

Some of these cases are highly documented and others are just allegations at this point. Once we complete our thorough investigations we will release our exposes to educate the public.

If you have any complaints, evidence, and/or information about these leaders / groups, please contact us via the form below.

THIS JUST IN TO FACT...

GROUP INFORMATION:

Name of Group or Church: Straitway Truth ministry Where: Lafayette Tennessee Leader(s): Charles Dowell Website: http://www.straitwaytruth.com/straitwaytruth-about.htm

"People sell all their belongings and give the money to Dowell. They are dependent on him for everything from food to clothing to toiletries. People live in run down trailers while he lives in a nice house."

"Members live all together on the property and eat in a common dining hall. Anyone who disagrees with the pastor is considered as coming against him. There are elders, but they are really yes men who have proven themselves to be totally devoted to the pastor. Anyone who speaks against him is considered to be speaking against God."

Are you aware of any human rights violations, emotional/physical abuse, illegal activity?

"People live in trailers with no running water. They use 5 gallon buckets as toilets and dump them in a pit when full. A lot of emotional abuse, psychological abuse. Financial abuse of elders. They sign over their ss checks to the pastor every month. People are told that if they leave they're going to hell and all kinds of bad things will happen to them. If you leave the ministry you are leaving God etc."

If you or someone you know has been victimized by this organization, please contact us immediately.

Five main things that make destructive cult groups dangerous to their followers...

Essentially there are five main things that make destructive cult groups dangerous to their followers:

Here's one: These groups make the cost of leaving extremely high. It is associated with persecution, isolation, and/or failure; much more than just wasted time and effort on the part of the member. It will be the end; you will be isolated, cast into hell, a complete outcast, etc. It is always made to sound as if leaving is never an option.

Can you name any others?
