Thanks for the advice. I have been pleading with really anyone who will listen, that Asheville NC is just full of cults. It's like all of a sudden there's some 1800's type of social stigma against talking about cults. It's been scary experience for me, to tell you the truth, I just needed to vent to keep my sanity.

This show is a live taped show, and it's hosted by a man named Alan. It comes on the public access chanel here. I am not exactly sure as to why it's aired here, as it's taped in California.
