Although He is currently the director of the Religious Information 
Center of Southern California, an author of several books, a 
songwriter, a guest on radio/talk shows - hey, a real self-made 
celebrity ( Gilderoy Lockhart, anyone! ) - he's going to  blow his own 
horn all the way to the pearly gates; it seems that Richard Abanes was 
once gullible enough to belong to the Way International Cult.  So now 
that he's "seen the light" of REAL Churchianity he feels compelled to 
save us from ourselves - whether we like it or not. The worst kind of 
Born-Again - like the worst kind of reformed smoker, y'know?   His 
particular brand of crusading is irritating, but harmless.  Let that 
little light of yours shine, Mr. Abanes, hallelujah!  I just don't 
want it to shine in my eyes.  We all have our choices to make and our 
burdens to bear.
 
Apparently, he can't change his essence - whether as a member of the 
Way International Cult, a born-again churchian, or just an 
holier-than-thou nutcase.  It's his life.  His views are only his 
views - no more, no less. I truly wish him good luck in the hereafter, 
whatever he may perceive that to be. 

We appreciate you stopping by our little slice of heaven, Mr. Abanes. 
But you won't like it here.  What's more, we won't like for you to be 
here.   After a while (is this afternoon too soon?), we will get bored 
with you because, well, just because you are who you are.  The 
frustration caused by your unpleasant/ill-advised rantings will prompt 
the list-moms to revoke your membership. You see, this is not your 
forum, its ours, dedicated to all things HP.  Respect that, please, 
and maybe we'll let you stay...NOT!
