Can a Web site
ever hope to be the complete answer to psychological
exploitation?
Of course not! We focus on a neatly definable part of the
entire cult problem: free access to information. Because
knowledge is the linchpin -- no one enters or continues a con
game knowingly -- we feel Internet information is the most
cost-effective and broadest reaching service we can
provide.
"Thanks,
thanks and thanks again for this site! I found you through
Yahoo.... [These] people seem to ... use these unique and
very powerful experiences to tempt people into the old
mind-control game. I hope that they discover themselves the
dangers of their methods."
And your
contribution will help support so much more than
trancenet.net Web publications. Because we offer
information and encouragement via email and phone contact to
hundreds of cult veterans and loved ones each month. We support
free discussion email listservs for
hundreds of recovering members annually. We provide information
to some of the world's largest news organizations. And we
do research for many therapists who work in cult recovery and
many law firms who fight exploitative groups in the
courts.
Providing information
is the all-important first step. Frequently, a cult
veteran, family, or loved one requests professional help, and
we provide referrals to organizations who offer credentialed
programs.
Finally, we believe that trancenet.net
does something most important of all: We fight to preserve
freedom of belief for everyone -- especially members of new
religions.
We feel strongly the last thing the world needs is a new
excuse to persecute people for non-mainstream beliefs. That is
why our approach is never doctrinal, never uses intrusive
proselytizing. We simply provide access to suppressed
information, with little or no commentary, so that group
members and the public may make their own informed choices.
Without pressure. In private.
I invite you to take part in the extraordinary journey of
discovery that we at trancenet.net are
embarked on. I invite you to make a difference in
thousands of lives.
Won't you take just a few moments to make a micro-donation with maximum impact
-- right now -- because your intended act of kindness may get
lost in the details of your busy day?
Simply click on
the appropriate links at the top or bottom of this Web page
for information on how to make a secure credit card donation
via the Web or mail your check or money order via snail mail.
(Donation amounts vary slightly to cover service
charges.)
Remember just
$1.39 will sponsor one cult veteran for an entire year.
And we will be pleased to let the world know of your generosity
by listing you on our sponsors page (with email or html links,
if you wish).
Thanks for allowing me to share this wonderful work with
you!
Sincerely,
John M. Knapp
executive director,
