What is this group on about? I recently stumbled onto their site thinking it was part of a larger 'cult awareness' movement, but it seems to focus on rubbishing others to validate itself. I don't know if I made myself clear. It just seems to smell a little fishy...
From their site (Who They Are):
[i:0b1e5ad205]Note: bold type is mine.[/i:0b1e5ad205]
So, their credibility comes from detailing their 'spiritual' and/or 'cultic' backgrounds...okay, fine. But doesn't that compromise their objectivity?
Does anyone know their agenda?

Why am I not surprised that a document like that exists here...
Thanks for that, matilda. I'll do a little more 'searching' next time.

Scientology is a cult, why is this woman a member of the committee. I mean come on whatever she says will be flawed when it comes to Scientology.

To whom it may concern:
The so-called "Cult Awarness Network" is actually little more than a front for Scientology and other groups called "cults."
See [www.culteducation.com]
Scientology sued the original Cult Awareness Network (CAN) into bankruptcy, by filing over 50 lawsuits against the organization. Then a Scientology lawyer bought the CAN name, files, phone number etc.
The file about me is often misleading and deliberately designed to spin whatever it may as negatively as possible.
See [www.culteducation.com]
This is my response to that file, which has been up since 1998.
