Second, cults frequently attempt to instill fear into their followers. The followers are taught constantly that salvation comes only through the cult. "If you leave us, you will lose your salvation," "They say". Even if it acknowledges Christ as Savior, it will say that you need something else before you can get into heaven www.cbn.com/SpiritualLife/teachingsheets/Pat_Perspective_cult.aspx - 21k | ||

ddylan New member Username: ddylan Post Number: 1 Registered: 7-2007 Posted on Monday, July 09, 2007 - 10:06 am: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am a mental health professional with a degree in counseling. I have done extensive research in cults and have counseled cult walk-aways. A former cult member who survived a bible-based cult in Indiana and myself are in the beginning stages of forming an in-patient residential retreat for former cult members. Therapy and other services would be provided. We are looking for input from former cult members as to what services they believe should be offered in such a setting and any suggestions would be very much appreciated. Contact me at dclotheslinesaga@yahoo.com for ideas. Thanks. | ||

Tony Alamo From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Tony Alamo (born Bernie LaZar Hoffman, September 20, 1934 in Joplin, Missouri[1][2]), is a controversial American preacher, singer, entrepreneur, and religious evangelist. He and his then-wife Susan are best known as the founders of a fundamentalist organization currently known as Tony Alamo Christian Ministries and based in and around Texarkana, United States[3], and frequently referred to as a cult.[2][4][5][6] As an adult in the early 1960s, Hoffman moved to Los Angeles, California, assuming the name Marcus Abad, and pursuing a career in music. He was briefly incarcerated for a weapon-related offense.[2]. "World Pastor" Tony Alamo being arrested in 1991In 1989, he fled Saugus after he was charged with abusing the 11 yr old child of a follower at the group commune in Santa Clarita Valley, and eluded capture. Alamo has contended that he was being persecuted by a "legal Mafia." He said: Alamo issued orders over a speaker phone, listing each of the child's transgressions and dictated how many times to paddle the child. The child could not sit down without a pillow for 2-3 weeks. Five of his followers were also charged. (Los Angeles Times, April 15, 1999) In February 1991, Alamo ordered his followers to bring along his wife's body when they evacuated the Tony and Susan Alamo Christian Foundation compound in Crawford County, Arkansas. The compound was about to be raided by federal marshals in the wake of a civil lawsuit against Alamo. Alamo was ultimately arrested on tax-related charges and was convicted in 1994. He completed a six-year federal sentence, and then went to a halfway house in Texarkana. ON MARCH 25, 1988, Sheriff's deputies seized three boys in a surprise raid of the Saugus, California, commune and reunited them with their natural fathers, Robert and Carey Miller. Court records show the boys were physically and emotionally abused. In 1977 the federal Labor Department brought suit against the Foundation, seeking at least $19 million in back wages and overtime pay for unpaid employees. The Labor Department contended the money was owed to several hundred workers at 32 Foundation businesses in several states. | ||

Tony Alamo's marriage to Elizabeth Amrhein set the stage for a child custody battle and kidnapping charges. After repeatedly failing to comply with court orders which included demands for psychological testing, Tony and Elizabeth Alamo lost custody of the woman's two children. Nick Amrhein, the children's father, became concerned when the children, who had been raised Catholic, began exhibiting unusual behavior. Twelve-year-old Nicholas and ten-year-old Amanda began telling their father he was no longer saved and that he would go to hell. Amrhein gained custody of the children after Elizabeth was arrested in New Orleans on child abduction charges as she attempted to obtain passports. Children have often been in the spotlight at the Alamo compound in Arkansas. In August, 1987, Mary Lou Broderick signed a waiver relinquishing all parental rights and giving her husband, Brian, custody of the couple's two children. Broderick later told a judge she was "forced to sign the form or they wouldn't let me leave [the compound]." BRODERICK WANTED to leave the compound because Alamo ordered severe spankings of the children. She claims she once saw three Foundation members strike a child with a paddle 60 times for talking about the subject of racism. "People at our church use their hands or straps or sticks to spank their children," Alamo was quoted as saying. "We don't just use a board." But in Nailed!! Alamo says that without paddling "we will never see an end to the crime" in society. "If President Bush and the citizens of this country would allow me to have charge of our youth, then shall the world see law and order. Violence and rebellion will cease, just as it has in all of the church facilities that I have ever pastored." The court ordered the children to be returned to their mother. Six weeks later, state police arrested three gatekeepers at the Dyer compound after the gatekeepers hampered a search of the grounds for the Broderick children. Alamo retaliated by issuing a tract claiming that the Vatican was behind the search. | ||
