I am casting a tv show looking for cult survivors to tell their story as a cautionary tale for others, if your story is chosen, it pays $1,000.

Dear jocelyn, this sounds like an interesting proposal.

Make sure these precautions are in place and both you and persons who submit information (applicants) and those who are selected have the following protection.

>
> * Confidentiality - what protection is in place to safeguard information (names, contact info) from applicants? Will documents be stored in a secure place and be discarded in a secure manner.

If any group takes legal action against the producer of the program or persons who are interviewed, what legal resources are available for participants during and after the show? (And for how long afterwards?)
>
> * Aftercare.

What if people get stressed out or suffer family turmoil or harassment from the group following participation. Will aftercare be available. And for how long?

How thorough will fact checking be? In tough times like these, $1000 can be a tempting amount. Two, a controversial group's PR representative or its legal representative can claim financial renumeration biased matters. How well are you prepared for this and how to rebut it?

Again, this is an interesting program. Sixty Minutes has done remarkable work of this kind. But first and foremost, the applicants and selected participants must have confidentiality protected during and after the show.

Hello, jocelyn, not sure if you'll get this or not, but I was curious about whether this TV show was ever recorded or aired?

Best to you...

To whom it may concern:

We are here to help anyone who is fighting the good fight against McArthurism. We have been wanting to help, but wasn't sure how to do it. We have also been affected by McArthurism through our family...they were manipulated into following this cult by being recruited to visit other churches throughout the world. Our immediate family was hurt by our own family because we wanted to help. We decided to take a stand and not let McArthurism take our power away...we want to act, and not be silent any longer. If there is someone who is willing to take a stand with us, we can discuss further what we would like to do.

Imagine
by John Lennon

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace, you
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world, you
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one

To Whom it May Concern:

Bridge over Troubled Water
Simon & Garfunkel

When you're weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes, I'll dry them all (all)
I'm on your side, oh, when times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you (ooo)
I'll take your part, oh, when darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Sail on silver girl
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
Oh, if you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
