I was in college at the student union and noticed a young Asian female sitting at a nearby table whose head was occasionally dropping to the table like when one is completely fatigued and haven't slept in days. I asked her if she was OK and she said she was and asked me "do you believe in God?". I answered in the affirmative and she then she said she really was very tired and asked me if I would mind seeing to her to her house near campus where she was living with some "friends". So I did and as soon as we walked in it was like was like stepping into a nest of (very sleepy and over tired) sad faced vampires. I left in rather a hurry after a couple minutes.

It was only later on that I read about sleep deprivation and slave conditions being one of the main ways the Moonies kept their people under total control. I can't really comprehend how anyone could become ensnared in a cult. The feeling in that house was palpably evil (I had the same sense and same reaction when I got dragged by a friend to a TM meeting) but it is frighteningly common and the methodology they all use very similar.

Very interesting. My brush with the Moonies was February 1977
in San Francisco. I was headed to Taiwan to study Mandarin,
and had an afternoon to kill in SF before my plane left. I was
walking and a nice-looking couple came up to me and struck up a conversation.
They invited me to a meal at a big Victorian house nearby with "some friends."
We first gathered in a prayer circle. Then when folks began getting food,
a person came up to me and said someone wanted to see me in another room.
They already knew I was on my way to Taiwan to study Chinese from my
previous conversation.
In this room, obviously with the leader of this household, he asked pointed questions about
why I was going to Taiwan, and how I was financing my trip. He and the others emphatically asked me to join them
up in Northern California on a farm they owned. It was about at this point I realized it to be a cult,
although I didn't know it was the Moonies. But for me the jig was up,
and much amused, I thanked them all for their hospitality and left. It gave me a clear insight
into their methods of recruitment.
