"Bioterror" seems grossly exaggerated when talking about vomiting and diarrhea. 216.106.104.39 (talk) 13:33, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Seems fine to me. It fits the definition of bioterrorism, and is pretty serious. –Novem Linguae (talk) 21:00, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hey there, my father was a member of that cult & was there when that attack was carried out. I'm not defending their actions just thought I could possibly shed some light on the whole thing (as much as I know) anyways. I do know that my pop was "brainwashed" in a sense, he was a art teacher in Philadelphia for 22 years & gave up his full pension from the school district of Philadelphia in order to go out to Oregon to join this "F-cult". That's how I refer to it, the place, time,& everything to do with it. I don't claim to know a lot of what happened there but I may know some things that may or may not have been spoken of.if anyone would like to contact me or we can keep talking here it doesn't matter to me. Even after all these years (I'm 59 now), I was 18-19 years old at the time of the attack & still find it hard to believe that my pop was involved in any of it cause he was the most nonviolent person I ever knew & I'm not just saying that cause he was my pop (he's dead now), you could ask anyone who knew him. I'll stop for now. 100.19.142.125 (talk) 17:51, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

SON OF A MEMBER THAT WAS INVOLVED IN THE 1984 ATTACK

To whom it may concern,my father was a member of that "cult" & was present when that attack took place.I was 19 yrs ago old at the time but I remember it very clearly.My pop wanted me to leave Philadelphia & go out to Oregon to see what it was like in hopes of having me go there & stay. Like I said I don't know if this is where I should be commenting on this or not, I wanted to see if I could possibly shed some light on some things relating to the whole cult/attack or whatever. I suppose I won't know until I go to enter this comment here...(?) I'm not here to defend or blame just maybe some insight? 100.19.142.125 (talk) 17:31, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
