That synagogue, in Marrieta, was actively recruiting as of the 2002 article in the New York Times.

Russ,
that's not true. They are Jews if their mothers are or if they converted. Their practiced religion however is another discussion and who do you think does accept it outside of the Reform movement?
As for Hassidim, you're all trying to pin something on the Lubavitchers which are an Eastern European sect. They don't try and convert you. They only look for other Jews, of any denomination, and try and make them more devout. That is something every religion does.
