CULT continued from page 1
to us, This is not a normal religion. Any- it
body who is going to ask somebody to
change that quickly is in a cult.'" lo
The Katzmans also met with their 01
cantor, who put than in touch with some- A
one who runs a support group for former
cult members. 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.
"But I was beginning to wonder about

. 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.'"

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.

Beasley was elected to the state
House in 1979 while a junior at Clemson.
After the election, he transferred

He also served as chairman of the

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. "You've got to hope
there is."
