Well
anyone who might doubt the cult is an international movement need
look no further than the Hampton Wick (Friday) cult group and the
Detroit Joys of Recovery offshoot. The word is that the current secretary
(Hampton Wick) is a chap who goes by the name John C (and who is
married to someone called Kristin). Now of course this all might be an
enormous coincidence but then wasn't it a John and Kristin C who played
'mummy and daddy' to the Detroit gathering? Over the past few years
we've had a number of complaints about this group and its activities
– the usual stuff: directive and dogmatic (cascade style)
sponsorship (and with group consciences that are not quite what they
seem), anti-prescribed medication, “shunning” (if you don't toe
the party line) and so on and so forth. It would seem that their
“mission” is to bring the 'true word' back to the dear old
motherland, and to which end they moved here a number of years ago.
We wonder how they're getting on with Billy the Kid? How many top heavy egos can a group contain before the
usual 'falling out” happens?
But then
we shall see what we shall see won't we!

PS There
is a now a new grouping at Bayham Road - BRAG - Bayham Road
Amalgamated Groups (?) They have one steering committee for all 18
meetings. Apparently not all the meetings are cult although cult
members have a large presence on the committee. It includes people
from the 'Happy Dennis/Jim W (David C)' sponsorship line, and someone
from Road to Recovery too! Thus the virus spreads!
