...early 1990s the group renewed its recruitment campaign. (Some members even tried turning the cult's manifesto into a prime-time series.) A 1993 ad in USA Today carried this message: "Caution: If the above information is assimilated, you may experience such side effects as loss of marriage, family, friends, career, respectability, and credibility.
