Nah, it probably was something Jesus People related with various degrees of abusing others through "discipleship," like the ICC, or, creepier, Children of God/Family. ICC was the first thing I thought of.

"bad things" could range anywhere from tacit encouragement for alcoholism and drug abuse to extortion to ritualized sexual assault to group suicides. Heaven's Love Thrift Shop doesn't gently caress around and continues to be A Good Strip. Dag's excitement about the topic is pretty spot-on too, I love learning about cults but it is kind of inappropriate to be all "NEAT!!!!" about something that has ruined the lives of many people who were just searching for a place to belong. sweetguts fucked around with this message at 02:22 on Nov 3, 2014 |

When last we left JOHN DARLING, he had discovered that Popularity Isn't Forever, even in New York City. Now he has left the decrepit unpopular remains of Punchline of today's strip: John is the victim of violent crime.

Dustin It looks like pond bacteria at 100000x magnification On the Fastrack  It's more like that moment you get the computer back from the manufacturer after sending it in for warranty repair and praying to god all your files are still there. Safe Havens  Why not exploit the heck out of all of Sam's experiments for cash? Make those dodos earn their keep. Slylock Fox  It's pretty obviously....the baby parrot. That smile is the smile of guilt if I ever saw it.
