I was researching this particular organization called The Society for the Attainment of Total Abstinence for some time.

I don't know if it counts as a cult or not. It claims here that it is not a cult, but I have my doubts. It seems to me like a joke but then so do most cults when looked at from the outside.

Does anyone know anything about this group? I see they are not listed under rickross.

I took a peek, and what I saw reminded me strongly of Landover Baptist.

Which is a joke site.... And judging from the "cursed" state quarters page... Yeah.

You're probably right. But I did read somewhere on CNN Financial that some people did believe those state quarters were cursed.

BTW I tried to join SATA in order to see what they sent to people but never heard back from them.

It sounds pretty distructive thgough. I know someone who wsa in a similar group that advocated total abstinence and would severely punish members who for the most minute infractions. The person I know is now mentally unstable and has random mood and personality swings. He is slowly getting better though.
