You know, my grandmother was really like my best friend. And when she was 82 and she was living in a nursing home, a bizarre kind of radical religious group infiltrated the paid staff of the nursing home to target the elderly. And my grandmother was confronted. And she told me about it.

She was very upset that this woman who was a paid aide on the staff had tried to recruit her into this religious organization. And I became an activist. I became an anti-cult activist, community organizer back in the early 80s. And it grew out of my concern that groups were targeting the elderly.

And then I would later find out targeting prisoners, literally a captive audience, and also going after minor children without parental notification or consent. So what began for me as a personal interest because of my grandmother grew into... life's work, and here I am 40-some years later. But it all started with my grandmother.

It was a fringe group that targeted Jews. My grandmother lived in a Jewish nursing home, and this group felt that it was their mission to convert Jews to their group, which they identified as supposedly Hebrew Christians. But in fact, the leader was an ordained Pentecostal minister, and the group was called the Jewish Voice Broadcast. I think they still exist, though under different leaders.
