KOBE – [From a Japanese University e-mail] “Recently, the reality of recruitment by cult groups has been attracting attention.

These groups cleverly approach university students, both on and off campus, using topics that interest them (social contribution, job hunting, international exchange, etc.), and subtly manipulate them through mind control, drawing them into their activities. Students may be forced to purchase expensive goods, separated from their families and friends, and have their student lives ruined.”
