Looking Deeper into Joan Felt -- Franklin Jones

Rogers Cadenhead writes at Workbench (Blogroll to the right) He got my attention as being the person who Popesquatted Benedict XVI I liked his blog and added it to the roll. Today, he has uncovered a nasty can of worms:
Looking Deeper into Joan Felt
The press has encamped itself outside the Santa Rosa, Calif., home where Mark Felt lives with his daughter Joan, waiting for the next move from Family Deep Throat.

Joan Felt, who has said she'd like to "pay some bills" from their notoriety, is described in today's Washington Post as a Sonoma State University Spanish lecturer and former Fulbright scholar.

Reporters have yet to discover her association with a spiritual group called Adidam, brought to light by members of an online discussion group about the movement.

Joan Felt's phone number, which has been publicly listed, turned up on three official Adidam sites as the contact for a study group in Santa Rosa. The pages have recently been deleted or edited to remove her name and phone number, but could still be found Friday morning in Google's cache. I was unsuccessful contacting her by e-mail or phone.

Adidam has 1,000 to 3,000 adherents, according to a Religious Movements project published by the University of Virginia.

Santa Rosa lies around 45 miles from the Mountain of Attention, a 1,000-acre "meditation retreat" in Lake County that was for many years the headquarters of the movement and founder Adi Da Samraj's residence.
