A sorority sister was befriended by the Moonies one summer. A group of us were living together and noticed we hadn’t seen her for a week or so, and someone said "Oh, she’s made some new friends at the Sunshine House.’ We called her mother and she came and got her and took her California for some therapy.
A co-worker’s brother joined Scientology and they took him to Mexico. He continuously called home asking for money. He became ill and they called his parents to say if they wanted him to pick him up.
That NXVeS thing was really strange but it reminded me of Scientology. The Leah Remini series was really very interesting.
