title: HOW MONTANA SECT MEMBERS WILL LIVE IN THEIR SHELTERS
author: DON LATTIN
LIVINGSTON, Mont. -- A glimpse into how members of Church
Universal and Triumphant envision life in the underground was
revealed yesterday in a detailed 30-page set of rules and
regulations signed by people who were buying a space in a community
bomb shelter that one Glastonbury couple were building on their
ranchette.
According to the ``Shelter Covenants,'' a copy of which was
obtained by the San Francisco Chronicle, 44 shares were sold in the
$250,000 underground dome, with each person allotted 18 square feet.
It will be a hot, cramped existence, with all aspects of life
strictly regulated by a shelter ``executive committee.''
There will be no drugs, cigarettes, alcohol, rock music, sugar,
nor extramarital relations allowed.
Married couples ``who do not have harmonious marriages must work
on their relationships now and not imperil the entire shelter
community with their karmic problems,'' it states.
``Women and men are to maintain modesty at all times and refrain
from ensnaring the opposite sex in karmic sexual ties, mental or
otherwise.''
Four, interconnected steel tanks are hooked up to an existing
well and septic tank. Members take turns cranking a Swiss Luma air
filtration system designed to protect against chemical,
bacteriological pollution and nuclear fallout.
Underground life will be governed by the five-member exectutive
committee, who retain the power to evict unruly members during an
apocalypse.
``If, during an emergency occupation of the shelter, a member of
the Shelter Community becomes deranged so as to threaten himself or
other members physically, he can be bound to prevent harm to self
or others. If the behavior of the person is violent in the extreme,
threatening death to shelter members, he can be put into the exit
well with a radiation suit,'' the document says.
