I agree that mere ownership of certain books and materials does not indicate for certain that one is a Satanist. For instance, an individual who is merely doing research can have a plethora of "questionable" texts on the shelves. Doing research does not make one a Satanist. Just like a kid owning a Ouija board does not mean that that kid is a Satanist either. But do read closely. I d

I've recently discovered that some of the Subud members got involved with Satanism. There has been a Masonic/Satanic group in Sonoma for many decades. The core involves families who have lived in Sonoma for several generations, such as winery owners, bar owners, grocery store owners, real estate agents and local "traditional" church, business, and health professionals. There may be

Funny that Sharon Gans has a staffing agency. So does Robert Burton's Fellowship of friends! Sharons' former husband, Alex Horn, was Burton's "teacher" before Burton founded the Fellowship of Friends.

Alex Horn did not leave San Francisco until 1978. It wasn't the 1960s. David Daniels may have affected Horn's group in San Francisco in the 1960s; perhaps he even "stole" some of Horn's followers. But he couldn't have taken over the whole group until 1978 or afterward.

With regards to possible government mind control experimentation, I'm not talking about Alex Horn and Sharons Gans' Gurdjieff group. I'm talking about Anne Haas' Gurdjieff/Subud group.

There may be a connection between government mind control experiments and this cult. I have suspected so for years and I'm gathering more information for corroboration of this theory. One of the Sonoma cult's members told me (when he was very drunk and probably should have kept his mouth shut) that The Group is connected to Bohemian Grove, which is just as creepy.

Yes, Anne Burridge and Anne Haas are the same person. Burridge is her original surname. Her surname changed to "Horn" when married to Alex Horn, and then to "Haas" when she married Anthony Haas.

Allegedly, Alex Horn traveled to England where he met his wife, Anne Burridge who allegedly was studying with J. G. Bennett himself or with one of his study groups in the 1950s. Bennett was into Subud. Subud, a movement founded by the late Bapak Muhammad Subuh Sumohadiwidjojo (Bapak for short), first reached the West in 1956. We can thusly assume that Anne was into Subud as well. According to

I reiterate: believing in something that is not proven to be safe and effective is potentially harmful.

As I have worked with clinical trials, I am very aware of the placebo effect. There is DOCUMENTED evidence that it exists and that it has an effect. That is why valid tests are double blind.

The problem with the RS church's ideas about positive thinking is that such strategies are not based on any empirical evidence whatsoever. There is NO scientific basis that "positive thought" does ANYTHING. What is "positive thought" anyway. It cannot even be defined.
