"Friend of mine has been abducted by Religious Cult" (FreakinDJ)

FrealkinDJ has posted about this twice. The story has a 1980s feel about it, sounds more to me that a rich guy retired early and joined a church than a kidnapping situation:

Friend of mine has been abducted by Religious Cult

Good friend and mentor for many years.

Suddenly out of frustration he retires last summer around July. I usually talk to Fred 1 or twice a month when we are not working together. He comes by and spends an afternoon with us here in our home for Bar-B-Ques and such a couple times a year.

About 2 months ago I try to give Fred a call, and this smart-assed little twirp answers Fred's cell phone and says he won't allow me to talk to Fred. Fred is there, but I can't talk to him. I figured it was Fred's family playing around with me and I never gave it another thought. Fred has a son and daughter, both some where in their 40s, both well educated and fairly successful.

I since had attempted to call Fred a couple of times with no reply

Then out of the blue Fred gives me a call today. Starts telling me he is part of this car caravan going around the country telling people the "End of the World is coming" Said he walked away from his home and started traveling with this religious side show basically. Kept referring me to this website if I wanted to know any more

and his Mercedes , Harley, Truck

Said he just walked away from it all

God even cares about liberals.

I'll bet his friend is a weak minded, guillable twit who also bought into all the Hopey, Dopey Change mumbo-jumbo and voted for Lord Zero.

Sounds more to me like a dipshit that has just figured out his own mortality and his hedging his bets!

I would tell him it's fine if he enjoys it.
But if the cult boss man shows up with new white Nikes for everyone, run like hell.,

Bingo.  Same with emigrating to form an new Utopia in some God-forsaken jungle.

They just seem to be a group of people wandering around California, handing out brochures, and being scoffed at by DUmmies.  They seem to be at peace with God.

What do you think I am?....a Doll-o-phile or something.
