Furry, unfortunately a lot of the media articles are no longer freely available and you need to pay a fee to retrieve them. I use services like Newslibrary.com. It's worth it for me to spend a few dollars, if it help prevents somebody from spending a lifetime from being scammed. Fairfax in Australia, also has a service where you can retrieve articles.
In fact, I just retrieved an article from the Newcastle Herald, entitled, Leader hits out at cult portrayal. It's written by Fergus Maquire and appeared on the 29 July 2000.
Here a line from that article:
Quote
Mr McKay was raised in a Christian community in California. He emigrated to Australia in 1967 and worked as a Methodist preacher.
I wonder what Californian Christian community that was?
