| I ve seen an american chanel and i saw an interview of an american family....they had a very big problem in their family, they lost his son because of the sect, they were the members of this sect. I think sects it is a problem in our world...I agree that all have they own choice, but if your choice it is bad for other people it is not good i think.  |

| Your right, it's a real problem but there is so many other problems then we didn't take attention to it.Many movie have shown how a sect enroll you and take control over you.Some are fanatic and do collective suicide , you remember I think it was during the 1990 years somewhere in Europ many people have die in winter for the soltice.Sect can go very far ,death and children abuse and many other things . |
