The photographic record of the Dialog Centre Aarhus Denmark

Anders Blichfeldt was a co-worker at the Dialog Centret from the end of the seventies. He had an amazing gift to have a camera always available so we have an interesting record of a developing movement and network which involved people all over ther world and especially the emerging Dialog Center International, (DCI.)

The Sex Lives of Godmen Of spiritual Healers, hypnosis artists and sexual exploiters BY Mihir Srivastava

This essay from Open Magazine/ 5 October 2013 is a very helpful analysis from an Indian perspective of the issues we have been dealing with in regard to both sexual abuse in some Christian contexts, but more directly in regard to our commentary in regard to Tantric Sex in Lamaism. Because it does not directly look at the Tibetan Tantra directly, but shows the way westerners approach this subject it is a helpful mirror to hold up to these practices in the West. It also has relevance for those studying the influence of Tony Quinn.

More documentaries added

Two documentaries on Satanism, one based in South Africa and the other in Poland.

A look into the conspiratorial world of Secret Societies.

And lastly we have a piece which looks at the story of Ricky Rodriguez who was a former member of the Children of God. This documentary features footage from Ricky’s suicide video where he explains why he committed murder and suicide. Be warned that this piece is quite graphic in places.

The full collection of documentaries can be accessed in our resources section.

The Jeremy Kyle show

The Jeremy Kyle show is like the Bovril of daytime TV – either you love its format of bringing people of differing opinions onto the same stage or you hate it for being trash TV. Whatever your sentiments, there can be little doubt that the Jeremy Kyle format certainly allowed a rare look into the issue of cultism.

It is interesting that both audience members who had been victims of cultist abuse saw parallels between their group leader and David McKay.
