Who would like to join a lobby group to have religious/spiritual organisations regulated in the UK?

This is exactly how I have experienced new age spirituality over the past 10 years, first through the Kabbalah Centre International, which frankly is just a criminal organisation, then through various smaller new age groups and even online. We need better government scrutiny and regulation of these groups. They should need a licence to operate and prove continuously that their leaders are psy

In the 1980s, AIDS/HIV was pandemic, no treatment, people were dying, and the Reagan Administration would not mention the disease.

Dear light34: Madonna is renowned for being strong minded, not weak. And she's the most valuable conquest Kabbalah Centre has made.

Best move you can make is education. T

The terms you're using: "abused", "harassed" are vague, which is why I inquired about the nature of the behavior or incidents.
