I watched them in Tianamen Square, had contact with them. I've read their literature. This is not just some group that wants to practice an exotic form of religion.

If your son or daughter gets messed up with this group - I call it a cult - you will be hiring a deprogrammer to bring them back to you - and reality. That's if you are lucky.

You have certainly heard of Liu Siying, the 12-year-old girl that set herself on fire in Tian'anmen Square.

The group is a cause celeb to make a case against China on the issue of religious freedom. All I have said on the matter is that there are better, more credible examples you can use to support an argument that things in China are not as they should be when it comes to religious freedom.

Self-immolation is a time honored Buddhist tradition. Nothing outrageous from that perspective. A monk did that on the steps of the US Capitol not long ago.
