Hello! I am a "newbie" on here, so you'll have to bere with me. :)
My question is, have any of you heard about a group of scam artists going around to the congregations trying to peddle their version of self-healing crap??? This was about 10-12 years ago in the USA. Apparently, they were a group of men, whom claimed to be giving a seminar on a new self-healing/mystic type thing that was approved by the GB!! They were founded by 3 men, and hence the name "Three-Brain."
This is how it went: These guys came in from California, gave a free seminar that was supposedly approved by the GB, than at the end offered for sale their literature on how to "test the body" (ora, electrical field of body, etc) for a nice profit. Right off the bat, I was very leary when approached by a family friend. There were like 3 congregations in my area that were all into it. Errr.....being Dupped! This was crazy stuff! Also, the claimed to be able to identify multiple personalities in people. One person in particular in my congregation was told she had 300 different persons in her! Crazy!! I remember my friend asking me to hold out my arms, close my eyes, and then he would ask my body (not me directly), if he could "test the body". This was how they supposedly indirectly asked your body if you had any ailment, problems, etc. The only problem I thought people had in the congregation after that, was being completely nieve!
Then, as quickly as it all started, it disappeared. Swept under the rug, never to dare be mentioned again, just like 1975 or 1914. How dumb they all were for be suckered so easily. Duhhh......what was 1914? Never heard of it. But we all remember, don't we??
Any comments? Anyone else heard of this? I am curious as to what the GB excuse/explanation was for these obvious scam artists. :) Thanks for taking time to read this. :) - Wing Commander
