[MLM Survivors Club] Re: Interesting info from TEAM manual-throw up some red flags why don't you?

Hi,
I have a best friend mixed up in Team, I would love, if you have
the manual yourself, to get a photo copy of the manual. I would pay
you for your trouble. I would like to be able to get inside some of
the inner thoughts of this group so I will know what to say back to
some of their dribble. What do you say??? Thanks, Margie
