All of the evidence so for points to the fact that the Raelians simply fabricated about doing anything with cloning, just to get media attention. Another fraud. www.clonaid.com But of course there could be a mentally disturbed person, who happens to be a scientist, who gets lured into the Raelian scam.

That review by the waiter who got fired tells it all. Ching Hai Loving Hut volunteer slave labor. They want people to work for as close to free as possible, and will break labor laws to do it. Be certain that Ching Hai followers would not get any money, and lose money to work there. Its like Scientology. This is why one should never support these cults by buying their food or services, as

So its most likely the Loving Hut delays are from just not knowing what they are doing? The restaurant industry is one of the hardest, so most Loving Huts, they would be losing their shirts, and houses. They would be losing a lot of money every month. It would be interesting to know are the Loving Hut's now just playing Ching Hai DVD's in the restaurants? One would assume that is w

You wonder if the Loving Hut in Saigon changed their videos due to customer complaints? That might be an effective strategy, to complain to the owner about the cultish Ching Hai videos, enough complaints and they might have to change it.

Groups like Scientology use that technique, not with a restaurant, but they get people in to watch videos, and try to stretch it out for hours, to the point of signing you up for a course. But its good news some Loving Huts are not playing SMTV reruns, if they want to break away from Ching Hai, they could just use the screens to play music and things customers want to hear. But this is the

That is a new one, make the people wait to eat their dinner courses for a few hours, so Ching Hai can reach them from the TV. Ching Hai must have given that order to them, to stretch the meal out for hours so they will watch the TV.

There are some famous atheists who now speak openly, and so some others are now speaking openly. That is a recent phenomenon. Have never seen that as being culty at all. But there are probably "cults" that say they are atheist, like the Raelians. So it has to be based on specifics.

That is called Programmed Confusion. Or in lay terms, she is just messing with people's minds. But note, Ching Hai says she is 19x greater than any human! (1,700% / 90%) But if you are 2%, that is enough. So she is 850x greater than you! She also coaches to detach from the world, that is, detach from reality.

There are authorities in Switzerland who see the dangers and threat to the public with the Raelian sect. Swiss high courts upheld the ban, and even the European Court upheld it. So in fact the Raelians do present a threat to the public, they are not benign. Who knows, some disturbed Raelians could hire some crazy scientist and be illegally experimenting with human cloning using Raelian femal

Many sects use sex as a lure. They also keep the prices low for basic membership, and then extract the serious money in other ways. The Raelians were in very serious trouble previously for reports of sexual activities involving children. They figured out very quick they didn't want that kind of trouble, so immediately launched a counterattack, as can be seen with hundreds of posts by

Also, most cults do not take people off mailing lists deliberately, as its a way to keep a foot in the door. Sometimes, one has to send a cease/desist letter to stop the mailings.

That is planned Social Engineering by SGI-USA. It really is. After all, in Japan, there are planned socially engineered SGI towns, right?

The Eckankar sect/cult might also use 'raw food' as a hook to lure people in. What seems to happen, is various sects watch out for popular movements, then use them as a fig leaf to attract people.

There are many sects and cults who used FOOD control as a way to start controlling people. Ching Hai uses Veganism.

Its interesting that Desteni is using what many other sects and salespeople use, sometimes called an "idiot test". That is, right in their first materials, they put in some crazy material, to screen out critical thinkers, and screen-in those who will believe basically anything.
