Courts underestimate sect influence
Zurich, Switzerland
Music teacher J.S. is not the only one who has lost his wife to the healer
from Munich. Rolf Franz "cares for" several young women from Switzerland.
An artist (painter) from Toggenburg also had experiences similar to those
of the music teacher from Zurich. After the birth of her first child, Rolf
Franz announced that the pendulum had told him that she could have no more
children. Nevertheless, several weeks later she was pregnant again. The
healer then said that it was a still birth. The young woman panicked. Even
after ultra-sonic pictures, she still believed the healer. The man
brought his deluded wife to the clinic seven times, but she would not be
convinced.
The husband threatened to take legal steps if Rolf Franz did not leave his
wife alone. The seer only laughed and said that he had already been
charged with bodily harm and negligent homicide, in vain. The painter won
the war with the healer, but he lost his family, because after the birth
of his second (healthy) child, his wife left him.
Jehovah's Witnesses and Scientology
Cases of infatuation with sects leading to the destruction of marriages
are par for the course. When just one of the partners falls into the
clutches of a sect or a healer, the relationship almost always falls
apart. If it is the husband who wanders off, the harm to the children is
controlled. In this case, the mother gets custody, but few courts today
will prohibit the father from visiting his children on the weekend and
bringing them to a sect event.
If it is the mother who gets caught up, the children can only be protected
if the father receives custody. The courts can rarely be pushed to take
this step. An acute risk arises of having the children also fall into the
vacuum of the sect. The courts downplay this danger, as a rule. In these
cases the father is often driven to despair. His children often refuse to
visit with him because he is demonized by the sect and their mother.
The break-up of families due to sects used to happen primarily in
connection with Jehova's Witnesses, the fundamental Christian
congregations (non-denominational, evangelical or charismatic) and with
larger sects such as Scientology. In recent times, an increasing number of
separations occur under the influence of healers, cults and esoteric
speciality groups. The members drift out into a cosmic or occult mock
reality and completely dedicate their lives to obtaining enlightenment or
to becoming a shaman. (sta)
