Hello,
I found your page while I was surfing around. It is really interesting
and very well researched. I have come into close contact with OD when I
still went to school, as my two best friends became members of OD.
Fortunately, I was much to "lazy" to become a member. Even though I was
(and still am) catholic, I have never believed in chastising oneself and
other kinds of  weird religiuos practices.
My friends, though, were caught in their web and it took them a lot of
time and energy to get out. Some people I konw are still memebers, or at
least sympathise with OD.
What I find very disturbing about OD ist the fact that they promote a
bad image about the catholic church in public. I do consider the
Catholic Church to be "my" church. And I am sad about the many heads of
the church who are under bad influence of OD and such. The members of
the Catholic Church are much better than their image, portrayed by
bishops and priests of the OD.
I will pass the address of your homepage to friends and acquaintances.
Only profound information and logical arguments, both found in your
pages, can help to put this group at the place it belongs - to the
sidelines of history.
I will try to get the information I have in words and send it to you.
Maybe it will help you. For example I know about some secret OD chapels
in Berlin. Quite interesting, since a church is not supposed to be a
place for one person, but for people to meet and celebrate together.
Best regards and thanks for your interesting reading material.
