I didn't read the whole thing, just the slice was enough. There is a group in my part of the world - International House of Prayer, abbreviated as IHop, just like the pancake house - that do similar stuff. People sell everything they have, donate it to the church and then are put in organization-owned houses and work for low wages in upper member's businesses. They come from all over the world. Sometimes they wise up and go home, though they have to start all over again. I have some friends that live in the middle of an older subdivision that this church is buying up, and they talked to their neighbor who was a member at the time. I don't remember Jane Whaley, I was busy with a job and a farm and new husband, and not paying that much attention to anything else. Shades of Scientology. Reminds me a little of the tales of woe of people who were still buying into Amway in the 90s. Did you know that Amway is still around? They changed their name, they solicited a friend of mine, I went with her to one of the meetings and one of the members told me that it was God's Will that I had come to the meeting. We left skid marks...
