Very Good
VERY SCARCE. Southcottian publication. "Original Entered in Stationer's Hall, London, in 1805." "This Book is a clear analogy of the Great Controversy between God and an Apostate World, and is prophetic of the Great Mental Strain now being Experience..." Wear, fading, and age to light greenish wrappers. 48 pp. Back cover advertises more Southcott reprints from The Australian Central Southcottian Committee. Joanna Southcott (1750-1814) was a self-described religious prophetess. During her lifetime she published over sixty publications and upon her death she left a sealed wooden box of prophecies, usually known as Joanna Southcott's Box, with the instruction that it be opened only at a time of national crisis, and then only in the presence of all twenty four bishops of the Church of England. The box has never been opened. She carried on a lucrative trade in the sale of her books. Strange as it may appear, many leading ministers in England believed in her, and thousands became her followers, until in a few years they numbered over one hundred thousand. Reprint Trade Paperback

Gay, Kathlyn: Communes and Cults, Brookfield, Connecticut, U.S.A. Twenty First Century Books 1997
ISBN: 0805038035 Very Good Ex Library
Usual library markings, including protective, laminated dust jacket. Nice, clean, tight, unmarked copy. From School Library Journal: "Gay discusses both religious groups and secular societies, including "intentional communities," which see themselves as models for social change. Examples of the latter type are groups associated with Dorothy Day's Catholic Workers movement and counterculture communes such as Morning Star and Wheeler's Ranch in California. Gay makes clear that communal living can provide a supportive and positive environment for some people. She defines characteristics of cults that pose dangers to individual members, as well as to the public at large. She finds such characteristics in Jim Jones's People's Temple, the Unification church, the Church of Scientology, the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, the Branch Davidians, Move, and the Order of the Solar Temple. The author cautions that an increase in the number of "doomsday" cults may be expected, calling attention to the use of the Internet by recruiters and detractors. There is a brief discussion of deprogramming, but this title focuses on the social and historical aspects of such groups. At present, controversy rages as to whether Scientology is a dangerous cult, and some may object to its inclusion as one. The author does not mention communal experiments by Jewish groups, such as Mordecai Manuel Noah's Ararrat, near Buffalo, NY, and various colonies in New Jersey, in the Middle West, and West. All in all, this is a valuable title, clearly written, and informative. Completed before the Heaven's Gate events, it seems almost prophetic." First Edition Very Good Hardcover Ex-Library
