As a reaction of what happened in Texas. I am hoping, after siam, to talk about cult in a youth meeting. I am hoping to do this to protect out young from getting mixed up in a cult. Can someone give me a suggestion on how to raise this issue.

You don't need to raise the topic. You're in NJ and these kids have parents. Their environment isn't anything close to that required to get mixed up in this stuff. If you raise it up, they're going to space out while you're talking.

The Waco Texas incident or the Branch Davidian one? The only two that come to mind right now...
