Well, I've seen this guy too, and I'm sure he's cracked. This being the case, it is likely that he would consider all his actions to be reasonable. This could lead to fradulent use of his TV "Ministry" to gain funding. Based on this, I can see why the FCC acted as it did. Jim Jones was also a cracked minister. Would it be better not to investigate such people? Mark Hinds -- ____________________________________________________________ Mark Hinds {decvax,ihnp4}!uw-beaver!--\ John Fluke Mfg.
