"At one time, Barry, who says there is no such thing as a cult victim, followed the Maharishi. However, Maharishi apparently wasn't crazy enough for Barry's tastes. So he left to find another guru. He settled on Freddie Lenz, one of the most destructive cult leaders of the past decade. Lenz left a path of ruined lives, including women who charged him with sexual abuse, suicides, and at least one member who mysteriously vanished. The police suspect foul play. Earlier this year, Crazy Freddie swallowed a bottle of barbiturate pills and went swimming. He tried to take his girlfriend and dog with him (drugged them both). The girl and dog survived." - Andrew A. Skolnick Read more: From: TurquoiseB Subject: No apology here Newsgroups: alt.meditation.transcendental Date: October 21, 1998 http://tinyurl.com/5qfqta
