<p>Christian is an expert on those groups most often called 'cults'. He explains his own less emotive description of such groups. As usual, Christian dispenses with psychobabble and offers a useable and useful model for the better understanding of the 'cult' experience.

Spike's note: Zoom cut this discussion a bit short; we apologize for the abrupt ending.

Spike's other note: usually there are links to these talks; there were none this time. So enjoy this short video of my budgies playing with some string.
