ACADEMIC FRAUD ALERT

 

The arena of research into new religions has been checkered with unscientific studies and conclusions of self-styled "experts".

 

Such have long been debunked in the academic and scientific community. (see http://www.cesnur.org/testi/melton.htm)

 

However, their pseudo-scientific theories  fueled criminal "deprogramming" activities (now euphemistically known as "exit counseling or thought reform consultancy") by incorrectly concluding that "brainwashing" and "mind control" could be accomplished in the absence of severe physical pain, drugs or hypnosis.

 

Though long discarded and even censured by real experts, these theories have provided a false sense of .authority. for groups and individuals involved in religious hate and bigotry. They have repeatedly instilled unwarranted fear and misled scores of parents into taking or supporting abusive and unlawful assaults on adult children.

 

Victims of such academic fraud have also sometimes experienced financial harm, discrimination in the workplace and other forms of bigotry.

 

This website is dedicated to providing the truth about such fraudulent "experts".  A few are listed under the section .Into Infamy..  More will be added.

 

If you have been harmed by academic fraud, we encourage you to tell us your experiences.

 

We, and our many qualified expert referrals, stand ready to help you and your family if needed.
