But the way of life the church taught wasn't active enough to suit Debbie.
"They're not too practical—dreamy," Gomez said. "Debbie's only going to take so much of that lying around doing nothing. She couldn't stand the lack of being productive. They aren't serving any purpose."
If Debbie was as bright as those schools in Michigan claimed, she couldn't be buffaloed long.
"They were good to Debbie. They didn't hurt her, but as far as I can tell, they gave her nothing. She was in a nice, cozy slot where she didn't move, so she was the one who has a desire to do something with themselves—they won't stay."
BUT WHY some people are more easily attracted to the group is a more difficult question.
Dragon said he had puzzled over the question and still had no satisfactory answers.
But he said that although his ex-wife
was strong-willed in some ways, she was "spiritually weak."
"She was the kind of person who would follow any logical explanation," he said. "She thought our marriage was beautiful, and it would be all peaches and cream."
"I'd known her four or five years before, and it kind of snowballed into us getting married.
"It one's of those things you really can't explain. I thought she was changing, but sooner or later, the woman would have endured in divorce, anyway."
HE SAID the conflict between him and his wife began when they first met one of the Unification Church members.
A woman named Margaret introduced the couple to the church and asked them to dinner one night soon after they had moved to town.
Deronag said his wife became friends with Margaret and the other members quite soon, but he did not.
"She seemed to give me a not-so-good feeling. She didn't look right," Derapon said. "She didn't seem to be there all the time." He explained anything but the Unification Church."
"It sounded legitimate at first," he said. "It seemed feasible. Everyone was really congenial. It was a positive thing."
"From the beginning it was a bunch of bull," he said. "There were too many answers for so many questions. It was hard, but there 'n no perfect answer for anything."
But after dinner, the pair was separated, and "the indoctrination started."
HE SAID he never had any intention of joining the church, but his wife convinced him to participate in a missionary effort in Iowa, near a place called Spirit Lake.
Dragon said he was uncomfortable and suspicious of the church members from the beginning.
"It was at this farmhouse in the
middle of nowhere," he said. "That made me think this is a fear too—to isolate you."
"They all looked like they didn't have enough sleep," he said. "There was a dilated look to their eyes, and they responded to questions right away."
He said he and his wife were kept apart most of the time, and the days were filled with lectures and group discussion sessions about the "Divine Principle," the Unification Church doctrine.
"There was no room for a person to think to himself about what he'd learned," he said. "You're all supposed to be the same."
HE SAID he finally insisted on leaving the workshop because he had to go back to school, but his wife refused to return with him.
"As I left, I saw Debbie from the window," Deronag said. "I thought, 'That's the last time I'm going to see her.' I felt very bitter."
And Derga hasn't seen his ex-wife, since although he spoke to her on the phone frequently after returning to work, she decided to put the whole affair behind him.
"I just want to forget—stay away from things that are past," he said.
He didn't try to see his wife when he found out from a friend she had gone home to Michigan.
Debbie Derenago has since remarried, has a son and a good job in the marketing division of a Detroit company, Gomez said.
"I've never discussed the Moynes with her—either for or against. I don't know if she'll even talk about it." She came home. "I just giddy she came home."

PADDY MURPHY FOUND DEAD SAE MOURNING
DAY 5
Paddy Murphy, SAE lush and cow bothered, was found dead last night, Lawrence police said. Murphy was found dead after a grueling 4 day, 10 county manhunt which ended here in Lawrence, Ks.
Authorities were summoned to Chancellor Chad Bennis' front door to discover the expired and pigmently fragrant body of Paddy Murphy. Murphy was found lying on a fashionable red beach towel and a handkerchief.
Local detectives attempted to piece together the last tragic events before Murphy's death but the investigating came up inconclusive.
Chancellor Chad Bennis commented, "I am happy that lush Murphy was found, especially at my front doorstep. It’s quite an honor to have a deviant kick-it at your own house. The Mrs. got a kick out of me."
Local farmer Vern Glotzbach commented, "My sheep are sure gonna miss him."
Fraternity spokesmen said they would not comment.
Cause of death was combined, heart attack, stroke, brain damage, alcohol poisoning and cancer of the colon.
Memorial services will be at 7:30 tonight at the chapter house. The wake immediately following.

"She'll never be exploited again. She'll never swallow another again." Gomez said. "I think, also, the Moines taught her to control her temper."
She said she approved of current state legislation that would allow parents to legally take their children from religious cults, but said she wouldn't have tried to kidnap her granddaughter from the church.
"You cannot force these young people out," she said. "You have to get them out on their own terms and then help them."
"If you want someone to take care of you and do everything for you, a cult is perfect. If you're that kind of person, you's a racer for the Moondians."
