This is a real bummer! In fact, it has been posted that the chief of
the FBI testified under oath to a Congressional Subcommitte that the
Government has shut down 319 "cults" during 1993.

We all need to ring the phones off the walls of our Congressmen and
Senators expressing our anger and demanding that this vicious new
law be repealed instantly!

If we don't stop this mess now, you can just about expect the tanks
to roll up to the door of your church some Sunday and tell you that
they are shutting down your "cult" and if you don't leave, you can
full well expect your church to go up in flames next!

Just in case some of you don't get the point, all they have to do is
claim shutting down your church is in the "compelling interest of
the government, and your church is a gonner just like Waco, Texas
and the other 319 churches they already shut down without a whimper
from anybody!

In his 1992 campaign speeches, Bill Clinton made 3 speeches that I
saw in which he stated "We have more than 2200 religious cults in
this United States that present a clear danger to society. If I am
elected president, I am going to rid our society of these dangerous
elements"
