Just so everyone is clear, the Brethren are a fringe organisation here in Australia, though they seem to wield political power way above their numbers. They make the news from time to time with accusations of being a cult, but nothing has ever been done about them.

More on the Brethren, scroll down to read who the Brethren are:

I remember a local furore over the Brethren way back in the sixties, if I remember correctly, when several families were broken up. I thought some political intervention was investigated back then, but I can find no reference to it.

I can vouch for at least one aboriginal family who were affected by the cult, but both those men have since died.

the main difference between this group and many other religious sects is that they are just more honest and upfront...

This is just disgusting! These people should be locked away from society and the keys melted. Religion my happy ass.

Sterilization and castration as a means for state-enforced population control and elimination of socially disadvantaged population groups is, alas, both wide-spread and well-established. While the most heinous examples of this are to be found in the sorry history of the Third Reich, many nations including the United States and Canada have practiced state-sanctioned sterilizations. Here are some references:

One bitter example alone taken from the links above is enough to break even the most hardened heart: 'The most notorious incidents of these illegal sterilizations occurred at the Indiana State Reformatory, an institution for delinquent boys. Between 1899-1907. Dr. H.C. Sharp, the institutional physician in charge, experimented on most of his young inmates to develop a new surgical sterilization procedure for males, the vasectomy. Altogether, Dr. Sharp sterilized at least 465 young men.'

Everlasting vigilance is our only protection from crimes against humanity.
