Grex Scruples Item 141: Cult website
Entered by scg on Sat Apr 5 20:02:36 UTC 1997:

You are looking around on the Web and you run across a website for a religious
cult, which makes it very clear that they are planning a mass suicide sometime
in the near future.  What do you do?

Let the local newspaper know and let them investigate

I would check back often, to see how they were coming along, find a way to
check them out in person, find a way to stoke them up, if there didn't seem
anyone worth saving,get the hell out of the way, and see what they'd do.

I'd try to find out why they want to commit mass suicide (historical date,
comet, etc.) and pass on the info to a local newspaper.

It's their own business if somebody wants to commit suicide, and you can't
automatically assume this is the kind of religious cult to brainwash its
members. And besides, does the world really need the kind of people who'd be
taken in by such a cult? ;-)
