I did briefly get back in contact with the group in 2009 after a false conversion back to Christianity (false owing to the fact that I converted due to crummy circumstances and de-converted when I realized I didn't really believe it, not due to any particular desire to deceive people). It was then he started his campaign for homeschooling in Sweden and the Johannsen issue. There was a member named Ruth Johannsen, but that was a psuedonym and is not in any way, shape, or form related to this.Derek Rumplernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7881402584568285627.post-42805180576917932682011-12-19T19:14:08.901-08:002011-12-19T19:14:08.901-08:00I'm not a big fan of Chris Warren either and y...I'm not a big fan of Chris Warren either and your speculative rantings are abysmal. I'm a former member of the group, personally think it's a cult, and realize that this is amateur. The reason that there *was* a group in Oil City was because I used to live there. I was the former representative of the USA branch of NCCG after Grant Robertson (the head in Salt Lake City) resigned. I used to be one of the major contributors to the nccg.info website, but dropped it when I realized it was consuming me. I also used to have material on there, but it no longer is. If you Google my name, you should find information that is sufficient to reconstruct something of a history about the group over the last few years.Derek Rumplernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7881402584568285627.post-37787268356548085542011-03-18T18:34:38.426-07:002011-03-18T18:34:38.426-07:00I didn't know there was such a field as "...I didn't know there was such a field as "forensic homeschooling", but maybe this is your new calling, Simon. Good job on digging out the background to this story. I was initially rather outraged by the Swedish government's actions, but figured there was something we weren't being told.

That's what I find hardest to understand about this case if this is the reason behind the child being held. The Swedish authorities are not only failing to inform 'the accused' of the crime they are supposed to have committed (with the inevitable result that they cannot defend themselves), they are also failing to warn other citizens of the dangers posed by this cult. Whether this is a reason or not, the Swedish officials/state seem to be at fault either way you look at it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7881402584568285627.post-5479534360001685022011-03-17T17:38:59.726-07:002011-03-17T17:38:59.726-07:00I don't imagine it's a 'regular' o...I don't imagine it's a 'regular' occurrence because cults are pretty rare!

Not only is it a person's right to know what they are accused of in a civilized society, it would also serve to warn others of the dangers posed by this cult or membership of the cult. <br /><br />Is the taking of children because their parents are members of a cult a regular occurrence in Europe or North America?
