Christian chiropractor’s ‘commune’ of women part of discount massage ‘cult,’ parents say

Parents and friends of college-age women in Michigan believe that a local chiropractor uses his business as a front for a doomsday cult.
WJBK-TV’s Problem Solvers unit investigated Dr. Craig Stasio and his Agape Massage Therapy and Chiropractic center in Clinton Township, Michigan and found it populated with young women, none of whom were trained masseuses, offering hour-long massages for $17.50.
In addition to working for Craig Stasio, the women also live together in an environment that WJBK-TV characterized as “commune-like.” The parents of some of the women claim that their estranged daughters refer to Stasio as “the prophet,” and that he teaches about a coming “tribulation” that “will last for 3 years” and end in a great “fire.”
Many of the women who work at the clinic dropped out of college to do so. The parent of one, Rich Fisher, told the station that his “big concern came when all of the sudden my daughter dropped out of Wayne State University. She’s giving — like most of the other people — massages, because that apparently is what he teaches.”
