|  |   If you were looking to convert your assets into something something
  which could endure a total collapse of the world's economy, metals
  would be good candidates. I don't know if it's true (and, frankly, I
  doubt it), but I've heard rumors that the metal content of a penny is
  worth more than the face value.

  Nothing surprises me with Elizabeth Prophet....  In my opinion, she would
  stoop to nothing to make a buck, and is into a heavy-duty power trip.
  Unfortunately, it is people like her who give "un-orthodox", religious
  groups a bad name....

    Used to be true.  Pennies used to be made out of copper.  A few
    years ago, copper pennies were discontinued.  The new pennies are
    zinc, and this is flashed with copper so that it looks like an old
    penny (however, they don't sound the same: drop a new penny and
    an old copper one onto a hard surface, and the "ring" is different;
    the new ones sound "flatter" than the old ones).
    
    However, if I were buying metals, I could think of less cumbersome
    ways to do it than collecting pennies.  There are bulk metal dealers
    in the Yellow Pages.

| 1223.7 | More on Elizabeth Clare Prophet | NEWPRT::MILLS_MA |  | Thu Mar 15 1990 18:46 | 21 | 
|  |     I read through the previous file on Elizabeth Claire Prophet to see how 
    detailed a description of her "religion" there was. Several years ago
    I was taken to "Camelot", the Universal Church Triumphant's estate in
    Malibu (quite a place), and found it incredible that people actually
    believe in this woman. I consider myself to be very open-minded, but 
    the claims she and her first husband made, that they were the
    twin-flame (twin souls) of Guenivere (sp?) and Lancelot too much for
    even me to swallow.
       I was also turned off by the several sessions of Affirmations the
    "faithful" are required to participate in every day. I found the
    chanting a form of self-hypnosis, which was personally repulsive to me.
       In saying that, I realize that it may work for some people, but
    their sort was in my estimation, just that, a form on working
    themselves into a type of hypnotic state.
       Given what I saw that day, the news that these people have an
    undetermined amount of arms and ammunition in a cache is alarming to
    say the least. If anyone sees any more on this, please update, I'd be
    interested to hear what it's all really about.

    	To echo, more or less what Steve said, to keep people from melting
    	down pennies and making more money than the pennies individually
    	were worth. Over the years I've been saving pennies in jars just
    	because they're useless at the store but worth too much to simply
    	throw out. I have probably about 30 lbs or so of pennies. Maybe
    	I could swing a deal with  E.C. Prophet?  ;^)
    
    	True it's crackpot groups like this that give New Agers a bad
    	name, but just remember the Bakkers, et al. There are bad
    	apples in every bunch.

|  |     .10  Neal,
    
    By all means, make a deal with Elizabeth.  Sell her your 30 pounds 
    of copper, and tell her you were Paul Revere last time around.  Maybe
    she'll show you 'round her fallout shelter.  (We want a full report 
    if/when you return.)  Maybe you can take the story to 60 Minutes!  
    "Did you ever wonder why anyone would want to save pennies these days ...?"
    
    Good luck.   8-)

    I just recently saw some more on this,including her being in trance. I
    am of the opinion that she is a con artist,brain
    washer,hptnotist,and,its all a bunch of bull,designed to control people
    and make herself rich. This is happening because people are
    gullible,and,prone to be easily addicted to all kinds of things. A lot
    of people are easily hypnotized,and,brainwashed. Its a sad state that
    we are in.
    
    Peace

|  |     re .13
    
    I saw one installment of the PBS specials identified in .13.
    
    The guests seemed highly educated and intelligent.  A tip of
    an iceberg sized conspiracy by government officials (not unlike others
    we've heard of in past years) to cover up encounters with UFO
    phenomenon (in the name of national security, of course) was exposed.
    
    Much is still shrouded in secrecy.

	Hi Jeff,
	Yes, I watched a portion of the show.  The gist of what she had
	to say is that she didn't predict nuclear war starting on April
        23rd, but rather that there is a good probability that nuclear
        war *could* start in this time frame.  She feels that all people
	should be prepared for a nuclear attack and that there is nothing
	wrong with having bomb shelters.  To her, our government has done
        a poor job of providing us with this type of protection in case
        of an attack.  She said that this country has left itself in a
        very vulnerable position as far as its defense weapons are 
        concerned, and that we have basically left an open door for
        an attack - from the Soviet Union or perhaps from a smaller
        country with nuclear weapons.
	I didn't watch the whole thing because I just don't like Larry
        King.  He always interrupts his guests and often asks, imo,
        ridiculous questions.  It could have been an interesting 
        interview if he had worked with her in a different way, but
        she could hardly get her full answers out before she was
        interrupted, and was basically put in a defensive position.
	Maybe if someone else watched the whole interview, they could
        add something to this.  What I saw and heard did not clarify
        the situation very much.
	Carole

|  |     I noticed in TIME magazine, this weeks issue with the mouth
    spouting off all those negative nasty symblols and cultural
    icons on the cover...anyways...it seems Lizabeth had a 
    gasoline spill at her newage commune and made most, if not
    all the underground bunkers inhabitable...the local court
    I believe made it unlawful for them to inhabit the shelters...
    so the group is in the process of cleaning up the oil or
    gasoline spill before the nuclear war breaks out...
