I need your help again with research. Your suggestions were lost.

A few days ago I posted requesting research help with a cult. Many of you offered some great responses which I really, really appreciated. I cannot tell you how helpful you've been. Unfortunately, the thread was removed by the mods because it was thought that I posted private contact information in the post. This was totally understandable because it looks like a private address, so I should have made a point of explaining that I believe this woman works out of a residential location but it is indeed a business. She provides this address on her literature and on websites and she takes money in exchange for her pamphlets. That was my fault and the mods had every right to be concerned.

However, it means that I lost all the great suggestions and some of the links you all posted. If any of you happen to have the links you found before and could repost them, I would greatly appreciate it. Or if anyone new reading this can offer any additional information or insight, I would also be much obliged.

Thank you again. I apologize for the confusion.

Here is the text of my original post (Skinner was kind enough to PM this to me):

Last week I asked for your advice regarding the cult my in-laws seem to have joined. Thanks so much to everyone who responded. It's an uber-Catholic cult and has them filled with all kinds of crazy ideas about the end of the world.

If you didn't read that account, my in-laws believe that the next pope is going to actually be the "Anti-Pope" and will be working with the Anti-Christ to bring about the end of the world in a matter of months. The woman running this freakshow has got them buying crazy supplies (everything from hard candy to "Urgent-Bee Pollen" to canned corned beef), boarding up the house and heaven knows what else. I'm concerned that this person is a.) bilking them out of their money, b.) preying on the old and weak-minded, and c.) going to incite them into some kind of action that may not be beneficial to them or the world at large (I know, all three sound like the doings of a typical Republican). I'm becoming very frightened by their behavior.

Anyway, I have some literature they gave me and plan to do some research, but would love some help from all you amazing people here at DU if you have time to spare and are looking for a project. Also, to anyone who lives in the Lincoln, Nebraska area and who might be able to shed some light on the location of this "doctor" and her "practice" I would be much obliged.

The woman's name is Dr. Mary Jane Even (who considers herself God's Secretary). Her address is 14 Trenridge Road, Lincoln, Nebraska, 68505 .

Here's a few quotes from the literature:

"...Dear Children, it is very important that you read the messages and that you contemplate mentally the way in which you're going to handle various kinds of situations. You need to help your family understand that they cannot take the microchip. You have to help your family understand. It is through prayer that God will assist you. You must help only your family. Do not be concerned about others. Do not talk of this to other people. Do not try to get the people alert to all that you know. That is not what Heaven wishes..."

The literature then goes on and on about preparing for the "Great Warning", a period when all preparations must be finalized before... not sure... the end of the world? It talks a lot about taking all your money out of savings and buying the huge list of supplies. Then it starts getting really creepy...

"...First, to prepare your Soul for all that God would require of you. Secondly, to prepare your physical surroundings and your quantity of food, water and clothing as you would wish it. Thirdly, to firmly establish in your head mentally the conditions which We (ed. note: the "We" was capitalized) will require of you. Many of you will suffer in various ways, not in little ways but in larger ways and in smaller ways, but also to be aware that you will have to suffer..."

I will post back here with anything I find. Thanks in advance to anyone who chooses to take this on.

Cheers,
Grace

I was able to save from before as well as some I found.

I know one person mentioned something about a woman in Spain (Conchita, I think) and some other group. Does that ring a bell for anyone? Pretty please?
