Testimony from a Counter-Cult Activist

Last Thursday, I had the zechus of appearing at a hearing before two esteemed non-Lubavitch Rabbonim, Rabbi Dovid Cohen and Rabbi Avraham Twerski, to present testimony about the dangers of the group Call of the Shofar.  I would like to share some of the events leading up to that appearance, a description of the hearing, as well as excerpts from my testimony.
