...but fair to the Witches of Ellsworth

Today's Guest Post is from "Anonymous".   Anonymous has generously contributed this piece on how the cult breeds and encourages minor criminal conduct.


I have a lot to say about this, but as I am exhausted from a very busy week, I will have to add my two cents after I get some fifty or sixty winks.




==================================

The wannabe criminals 
  
In the cult there is a weird mentality that prevails and is very harmful to those who get sucked into it.  Much like a criminal gang there is a price that must be paid in order to belong.  You have to get along by going along.   If you didn't, they cult would make sure they pressured you or degraded you in front of others in meetings or classes until you did the same as everyone else. 
  
Even if what they wanted was illegal or not morally right, you would still have to go along with them if you wanted to stay there or if you wanted to keep from getting totally put down in front of everyone.  One of the things they liked best was to pretend they were criminals who didn't give a damn about obeying the law. 
  
Within a very short time after attending classes I was subtly persuaded to buy a motorcycle.  I had no desire to buy it and I couldn't figure out what was the reason for this until later. The culties had bought motorcycles and enjoyed cruising the highways like a motorcycle gang. They could pretend they were a gang without any of the problems with the cops that real gangs have. 
  
Of course there were certain culties who liked to pretend they were a gang more than others.  One of them used to always proclaim he was real tough and that the rest of us were wimps because we did not have balls as big as his.  He was rumored to have a criminal record.  A fair number of the men in the cult admitted they had a criminal past and the cult was a way they could hide out.  These men could recruit relative innocents into the cult where they wouldn't get into the trouble they might get into if they joined a real gang. 
  
While proclaiming how spiritual they were, the cult would cruise like bats out of hell on the tourist highways of Northern California with "The Dubster", Rev. Bill Duby.  The Dubster would show how macho he was by gunning his chopper to 100 MPH with a pack of culties behind him struggling to keep up. This was just after he gave a sermon on being spiritual and how much of a caring man he was.    
  
The wannabe criminals who used the cult to develop their criminal ways loved this because they loved breaking the law and not getting caught.  Everyone had to do something illegal or they wouldn't be accepted in the cult.  The leaders loved it because they can make the culties do criminal acts or anything outside the law whenever they wanted. 

After the Dubster dropped dead, the witches kept his tradition of behavior and mind control alive with weekend Male retreats. The witches would tell us males how important it was to have male companionship and would send us up to their house at Lake Tahoe for a weekend of indoctrination.

The witches would pick two of the culties who followed their orders to be retreat leaders in charge of the weekend.  The retreat leaders would start ranting and raving about following the teaching and would totally de-humanize and insult anyone who was enjoying the weekend on his own terms.  If any male showed a little bit of spunk and had his own opinion, he was reported on when they got back.  It was a way of monitoring who was controlled and who was going to be put in Kangaroo Court.  All the while, the leaders kept saying cult members had complete freedom.  But we felt like trapped animals.
  
The weekends were hell, like boot camp with a full schedule of slave labor to be performed while you paid for a relaxing weekend. One thing that they were scared of was the cops, and you were always given a lecture on keeping your mouth shut about anything that happened.  And a lot happened. 
  
I was afraid to speak to the police about some criminal stuff at first but was pleasantly surprised to find out that the cops have some knowledge of cults and take whatever they say about you with a grain of salt. After I left the cult, the cult leaders and their cronies decided to kick me out into the street and attempt to leave me homeless.

They started to vandalize my car to get me to move off the cult-owned apartment complex where I lived.  I really wanted to move out but I had nowhere to go because they had taken all my money.  If they just waited a while, I would leave on my own.  But no, they wanted to force me out by damaging my car.  I reported the vandalism of my car to the cops.  When the cops came, the culties looked out their windows.  While the culties watched, I showed the officer the damage to my car.  During the police report, one of the wannabe criminal culties stared at me from the cult compound with a nasty look on his face.  The cop was not surprised that I was being targeted and noted what had happened so that it was documented if the harassment escalated. 
  
Another example of their criminal attitude was them stealing internet service.  One cultie would pay for the service and pirate it out to the other culties.  They routed their lines through my apartment so I could be blamed if the internet company found out.  Each cultie in the apartment complex was required to pay a fee for the internet service. 
  
I decided I didn't want to be involved and cut the lines going through my apartment. Even though what they were doing was illegal they acted as if they were the ones who were wronged.
