Review for International Cultic Studies Association Inc, Tewksbury, MA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I’ve been active with this non-profit since 1982. ICSA deals with issues related to cults and inappropriate and harmful group interactions. It has been the only one to combine secular research, support for victims and loved ones, and community education.

One of the things I like about ICSA is that it welcomes all. Participants include professionals, parents, ex-members and others. It also supports clergy.

The quality of the research and writing in this organization is exceptional. Their library is fantastic. The commitment to public education on this topic is second to none.

Finally, they have educated mental health professionals on this topic for years. The knowledge base in this area is cutting edge. The resources for clients are remarkable.

Review for The Humane Society of the United States, Washington, DC, USA

Rating: 1 stars  

The HSUS is very disappointing. They claim to be experts on animals but often know little to nothing. They harness the goodwill and expertise of those who do, but don't give them credit. They mislead the public on their true agenda -which is the elimination of all domestic animals. The purposely create division among others in animal care fields. In short they do little to help animals and lie about their true intentions.
