=== Anti-cult movement ===
The OTS had largely escaped negative public attention from the [[anti-cult movement]] in the 1980s, other than two lines about Jouret published in a French anti-cult booklet in 1984. He and the group were left out of later 1980s editions.{{sfn|Mayer|1999|p=179}} In 1991, a former member, Rose-Marie Klaus, contacted a Montreal [[cult-watching organization]], [[Info-Secte]]; they subsequently produced a letter warning other organizations in Canada about the group.{{sfn|Wessinger|2000|p=224}}

Klaus's husband had left her for a "cosmic marriage" to another woman, and she wanted money she had given to the organization returned; she sued the group, and attempted to get the OTS negative press coverage.{{sfn|Wessinger|2000|p=224}} While her husband Bruno Klaus (who would die in the 1997 mass suicide) had been getting increasingly involved in the OTS, Rose-Marie was growing less involved, but continued to live with him near the group's compound. One day, Bruno arrived home and told her that the OTS [[Ascended master|masters]] had decided that he was to be with another woman; Rose-Marie, upset by this, asked Jouret to mediate between them. His solution to this issue followed the OTS practice of "cosmic coupling", which ignored "earthy marriage"; he set Rose-Marie up with another man, André Friedli, later one of the killers in the 1995 incident.{{sfn|Bédat|Bouleau|Nicolas|2000|p=226}}{{sfn|Hall|Schuyler|2000|pp=132}} Rose-Marie was not satisfied with this and it lasted only briefly. She stated that "I saw later that this man went with other women, the women had other men. It was very mixed up."{{sfn|Hall|Schuyler|2000|pp=132}}

For several years after this, she repeatedly tried to get Bruno back, having a "foot inside, but always one outside" the OTS community, but eventually gave up and began contacting anti-cult groups.{{sfn|Hall|Schuyler|2000|pp=133}} On 10 September 1991,  following several Martinicans leaving the island to join the OTS, the president of Martinique's branch of the Association for the Defense of Families and Individuals (the leading French anti-cult group), sent a letter asking various Canadian associations for information on the group.{{sfn|Mayer|1999|p=179}}  In 1992, after an invitation from a French [[Anti-cult movement|cult-watching organization]], Klaus visited Martinique, where she denounced the group. Her statements were picked up by the local media.{{sfn|Mayer|1999|p=179}}{{sfn|Mayer|2006b|p=96}}{{sfn|Wessinger|2000|p=224}}
