Were you ever at Golden Era Productions in San Jacinto?
Around the time you are describing, I was on the inbound queue for a computer hardware and software sales company, fresh out of training and a 15 year old kid called in to order some equipment. Over casual conversation I learned he was "Serving his time like missionary work for his religion", but he could only answer emails between the hours of 4pm and 11am or some funky "work hours".
At the time I was intrigued because when I was about 13, I was driving with my dad around 2am on Gilman Springs Rd, this road goes right through the middle of the complex (They've tried to take possession many times, but legally they have no right to it). While driving through I saw a group of roughly 100 people in all white garb digging out the foundation of the building with buckets.
So seeing this, hearing the stories before all the big media stories started coming out, I always knew something wasn't right about the "religion". Just wondering if we happen to have worked together in the past and if so, glad to see you are doing well :)

My car when I was 16 broke down in the middle of the complex on the main public road. When I got out to take a look, a black SUV pulled up with an armed guard. He asked what I was doing and why I was stopped, I explained my car had broken down. He radio'd for a tow truck, to which I thought "oh thats really nice of them" then explained he was towing me "off the property" and that was all. Again this is all public land, main road, they will just do anything to keep people away from it.

I was 16 and a guy with a gun while polite but stern asked me to leave, so I did. Today as an adult knowing all my rights, I might stand my ground a little more, but again they have disappeared people before, not sure if I want to be the next.

I know a couple that went because they figured things were being completely blown out proportion. That was until they got there and were terrified to be themselves. Witnessed one of the beatings from the locals where security did nothing.
I have no problem seeing this AMA, but don’t you fucking dare try and bring your propaganda bullshit here. You either openly discuss factual topics or get the fuck out.
