 I can answer questions about the history and beliefs of many cults, or alternative religions. I was listed in the Directory of Cult Research Organziations. I have answered questions on the Baha'i Faith, Worldwide Church of God (now Grace Communion International), and I have personal files on The Way, Unification Church, Scientology, Latter Day Saints, charismatics, and many others. If I don't know the answer, I'll tell you where to find it!
