Notice: Fredric Rice may have removed segments of the replies given to questions if they contained copyrighted materials. After a very short while, Scientology "experts" refused to answer questions and started cut-and-pasting copyrighted cult propaganda. Additionally I removed URLs in some of the replies, and left them in others. And it's also important to note that eventually the unfortunate "Greg Churilov" cultist was ejected from askme.com for his typical Scientological behavior.

A number of years back, I contacted the Cult Awareness network on behalf of a friend's family who were touched by a family tragedy (their daughter still has never been found) and boy was I surprised when I logged onto their site yesterday- it's more like a Cult Advertising Network! I notice some of the experts here are using it as a referral link and I'm sure they wouldn't if they knew what these people are up to; what happened here? Is it the same group?

The former members of the Cult Awareness Network were bigots and criminals. Their president was arrested for soliciting an undercover male police officer for sexual favors including being tied up and forced to preform oral sex.

The leader of this motley gang, Cynthia Kisser ( a former topless dancer) is on the lamb from the law.

CAN was instrumental in the WACO tragedy, present at the scene and actively inciting FBI agents to use force. They have also been known for kidnappings and torture of young women suspected of being "cult members".

The Cult Awareness Network went bankrupt, and was bought out by a group of Christian and Interfaith ministers who currently endeavor hard at setting the record straight on all the harmful lies this group told.

[And that's one mother fucking of a whopping lie! The Scientology cult infiltraited the Cult Awareness Network because CAN was successful at helping the family members and loved ones learn about Scientology and helping cultists that got suckered into the cult to get out. The Scientology cult pulled a scam which got CAN in trouble on charges of kidnapping -- even though the supposed "kidnapped" later denied wanting anytthing to do with the cult's plot.

The Cult Awarness Network was sued out of existance and the civil trial resulted in CAN going bankrupt -- and then the Scientology cult bought not only all of CANs files, but the Scientology crooks bought the name "Cult Awareness Network."

The new Cult Awareness Network isn't -- as this insane cultist is lying about -- a group of Christians. It's run by the SCientology crime syndicate. When anyone calls into the new CAN, they're speaking straight into the ears of America's most destructive criminal cult ever created.

The audacity of these cultists to blatantly lie when these issues are widely and broadly covered in newspaper articles and court findings widely available on the Internet is just astounding. Who do these insane cultists think they're trying to fool? - flr]

I am happy to say the current leadership has had some friendly meetings with Executives from the Church of Scientology, and are apparently representing it in a true light.

[And in fact the crooks run the new CAN - flr]

best,
Spirit

Waco? Ummm...yeah, right. Sorry, my dealings with them were different enough to see through this from a hundred yards. It looks like CAN has become a pack of wolves pretending to be sheep dogs.
