I have decided to start a religious cult for dyslexic atheists. Our main tenet will be "There is no Dog!".
"Jacky Estes, an actress who now lives in Novato, said that during the same year, she was living at the hot springs as one of Free John's "wives."
For about two months, she told The Chronicle, motion-picture cameras were set up in a basement room, and devotees were ordered to make pornographic films. Estes herself did not participate. But, she said, "I heard him telling men and women go downstairs and do it, and I saw the women crying hysterically afterwards."
"Everything that was done was interpreted a lesson about your own lack of spirituality," she said.
Estes also said she saw Free John's wife, Nina, come out of his house with a huge hunk of hair ripped out of her head, and a black eye.
"At the time, I was frightened and confused, and only later did I learn what the brainwashing process entailed," she said. "Twelve to 16 hours of my day were spent surrounded by cult members. You didn't watch TV or read magazines. It closes off your circuits to the rational process. Most members don't know anything about the inner violence of the innermost circle."
