Ex-Adelaide doomsday-cult followers fight for money back.

One of two civil claims brought against religious group Agape Ministries may be settled out of court, a lawyer has told the Adelaide District Court.

Good luck!

They want their money back, claiming they handed over more than $400,000 and $1 million respectively to the church based on lies about a doomsday scenario.

$400K & $1 million to hand over to a religious con-artist!!!

It beggars belief how anyone that terminally gullible could amass such a discretionary sum.

If I were less ethical, I’d be doing an “L. Ron” right now, and living the high life on the banks of these rich simpletons.

Ms Baligod [mother of one of those conned] said she believed many other people wanted to come forward with civil claims, but were scared.

“A lot of them have been threatened by insiders, with death threats as I understand it,” she said.

The matter will be back in court in a fortnight.
