Prom there, the Katz- s< mans contacted an exit counselor, who w was able to tell Kathy what responses tl to expect from Adam. d "We talked to him (Adam) about his feelings for the church, and it was scary A Via?*aiiaa Vila rpannnaM were what W6 t< were told he would say," Kathy said, o "We felt it wasn't our son talking to us. s It was something he was obviously quotr h ing." fi The Katzmans asked Adam why he was rushing to be baptized, and his an- c swer was, "If I were to be hit by a car to- d morrow, I would go to hell," according s to Kathy. The head of the Columbia Church k of Christ contacted the Katzmans at one t point. r "He seemed like a nice person. He v said he understood how we felt," Kathy c said. "But when we said, Isn't this fast? t his response was that other groups on i campus do it faster." i The Columbia Church of Christ would not respond to Gamecock inquiries over t the phone. i Beginning the exit < Adam's parents arranged for two ex- 1 it counselors to meet with him over fall ' break. ' "We weren't really sure what to do ? were we jumping the gun?" Kathy f said. "He hadn't been baptized and hadn't 1 seen the negatives yet." The exit counselors came to the Katz- ] mans' house the day before Adam came home and explained the exit counseling process to the Katzmans. "Exit counseling is done totally voluntarily," Kathy said. "It is not done against the client's will. They have to agree to it." Before the counseling began, Adam's parents gave him three conditions: talk to the exit counselors, listen to them for as long as it takes and have no contact with the church during the counseling process. "He agreed to those terms," Kathy said. "He said, 'Fine, bring them on."' The first day, Adam was very quiet, Kathy said. "There wasn't much response from him," she said. "They (the exit counselors) showed him materials and videos. We didn't realty know what he was think _ n mg. Adam said he watched a video about the church and was given material about members who had left. "For the first hour and a half, they talked about why they were doing this," - Adam said. "I really wasn't listening at this point. I was thinking about how I was going to defend myself." Adam said part of the exit counseling dealt with mind control, which he did not believe the church participated in. "I didn't think the church did any of this because I didn't see it," Adam said.

If s so subtle yet so complex." Twelve hours of exit counseling and 1 oking at material about the church i le Saturday seemed to clinch it for dam, Kathy said. r i "Sunday afternoon, (the exit counilor) told me he had decided what he anted to do," Kathy said. "But I got re feeling he had decided earlier but idn't want to verbalize it." . Toward the end of the weekend, dam said he felt confused about what > do. While he knew he had to be sure f what he wanted to do, he-said he alo knew that church members would ave an answer for everything he con onted them with. "I was kind of mad that it was deeit, and they always preach 'don't be eceitful.' It's from the Bible," Adam aid. "But they don't believe if s deceit." When Adam's parents realized what ;ind of group Adam was involved in, hey weren't sure he would be able to eturn to USC, Kathy said. But she said whatever Adam decided would be his lecision. Adam's decision was to return o USC and confront the group with the nformation he had learned from the ext counselors. However, the exit counselors tried a talk Adam out of confronting the group nembers. "Our initial reaction, we were tremeniously relieved," Kathy said, "but we vere concerned about when he got back, le wouldn't have the strength to say, 1 ion't want this anymore.'" r n i.T LiiU. ,,w>U ivainy saia sne uiuugui me uiui w jroup was preying on kids who were away from home. "If a person wants to change their religion, it's obviously their religion but a decision they should make over a period (of time)," she said. "I really think they are taking advantage of kids who are away from home and looking to belong." When Adam returned to school, he did confront the church members. As he had expected, they had an answer for everything. "They said, It's changed. We don't do this anymore. Our advice is just advice. You don't have to follow it/" Adam said. "Yet, tons of ex-members have said, It's not advice. You have to follow it.'" Adam said the group didn't make contact with him after he confronted them. Although he has seen members on campus, he said the church wasn't persistent because he was never bap tized in the church. "I said, Don't call me, I'll call you," he said. Ironically, the day after Adam returned to USC from his exit counseling, the discussion in his University 101 class was about cult awareness. For Adam, the lecture was too late to prevent his experience, but it mayhave raised the awareness of others." "In University 101, do it the first week," Kathy said. "Don't wait until November." If any student is concerned that he or a friend might he involved in a religious cult, please contact a chaplain, the Counseling and Human Development Center or the Office of Student Affairs. ,, . 1 - U -.-14 ? .4 I . .m? v ...W . ?

Beasley was elected to the state House in 1979 while a junior at Clemson. After the election, he transferred to USC where he earned his bachelor's and law degrees. As a member of the House from 1979-1992, Beasley became the youngest speaker pro tempore and majority leader in the United States. He also served as chairman of the House Education and Public Works Committee and chairman of the Joint Legislative Study Committee on Education.

Several bodies were in the rubble, but he didn't know just where in the nine-story building they ? had come from. He dug amid the debris, finding checkbooks and two purses he hoped would help identify the dead. Thursday morning, after a few hours' sleep, he was back on a street corner two blocks from the building, ready to search some more. "There's got to be a possibility of survivors," he said.
