Quotemorco2006..... As a Pagan myself I have been aware of the Pagan Association for a long time. They are a very highly respected organisation who have on many occasions stood up for the rights of people who have been persecuted and brought some well needed balance and openness to the Pagan scene. The organisers of the PA have spoken out against and exposed charlatans in the Occult world who h

As for Nazism and the occult only a few members were into the occult. (Heinrich Himmler, Rudolf Hess, Rudolf von Sebottendorf etc.) It is reported that Hitler said to Gerhard Engel, one of his generals, in 1941 "I am now as before a Catholic and will always remain so," etc. Many of Blavatsky's doctrine was twisted to suit the Nazi's own end.

Websites like the one we are on is a good medium. Keep in mind its important that you dont blatantly call any group a "cult" (in the modern sense of the word) without any evidence. An alternative wording like "cultish" might be better to avoid any legal battles. There are another of cult watch websites but be warn some of these sites are run by Christian fundamentalist wit

I dont know about dismantling a cult???? Its something that is very difficult to do. And some of the tactics fringes on legality. If only some of the current laws were change. Although what one can legally do is to expose the cult(s) for who they really are. That has an impact with them.

Thank you for your response and experience Lardlad. I would add alot of these girls are coerce or forced to take drugs and become addicted. Once they are addicted its usually too late for most of them. Its a vicious cycle; they need to continue to work as prositutes feed that addiction.

Yep. I thought it would compliment the other thread on how South Park Shreds Scientology. This one was a funny episode too. They go through the history of Mormonism witn their usual slapstick humour and makes fun of Mormonism in general and throws alot of holes at it. Its a good episode! :wink:
