News and recent updates

September 11, 2005
Six years after the last update!

• The site now has its own domain name. I'd removed the site from my personal domain because it was becoming increasingly awkward explaining that period of my life to friends and family who stumbled upon the information by accident. Plus, it seemed like a good opportunity to rewrite the articles, some of which were confusing to people who couldn't tell that I was trying to be critical of the group - they thought I might be promoting the group, which I definitely am not doing. Now after two years completely offline, I still haven't rewritten much but at least the information is back out there in the public.
• There are two more updates on the James Randazzo saga:
  Curious cult leader back in Mesa County lockup (includes photo)
  Cult sex offender seeks to be paroled

August 23, 1999
After a full year of inactivity, there are some new changes:

• The new article "Pretending to be many groups" was posted, discussing how the NAW is currently using at least three distinct pseudonyms in different parts of the country.
• Added two more brief Randazzo news clippings, Fugitive religious leader nabbed and Cult leader gets 16 years.
