Your continued use of the Spiritual Research Network is contingent upon the following basic Disclaimer guidelines.
An Important Reminder:Please note that the inclusion of materials about a particular group or individual on this web site does not necessarily mean that a group is considered a destructive cult or that an individual is a destructive cult leader.

The Spiritual Research Network Super-Duper Extended Disclaimer
The following is our super-duper extended disclaimer that has been adapted, reworked and added to from a handful of discernment disclaimers. We have done this so as to protect our selves from those who want to “shoot at the unseen monster in the fog”…Us being the unseen monster of course.

The Spiritual Research Network is not responsible for the content of sites and pages outside of its control.The information within The Spiritual Research Network website has been collected to offer the public a resource concerning groups called "cults," controversial organizations and movements, and people who have had much media exposure due to their spiritual teachings and/or practices.

If this isn’t clear enough, we restate it this way: a listing on the Spiritual Research Network web site does not necessarily mean that its publisher or anyone else connected with the Spiritual Research Network perceives the group (movement, ministry, organization, and/or related individuals and entities) to be a cult (or cultic), to practice coercive or destructive tactics, or to be in violation of any law.
