In this largely flattering story written by the Canadian newspaper Globe and Mail HERE “Ms. Bronfman says she has taken a leave of absence this year from her position as a coach at NXIVM to focus on her Libya projects and her upcoming wedding to Mr. Igtet.
She goes on to to defend NXIVM saying “I think it's a very unfortunate controversy that's been conjured up about NXIVM and it's baseless,” she said. “If you look at any organization that's doing anything in the world, nasty stuff gets written about them.”
Sources again tell me she is studying Arabic and thinking of converting to Islam. While many people are concerned what the Bronfman family thinks about this arrangement.
One leading Jewish Doctor told me "I liked Sara better when she was just a cult monkey goddess and not betrothed to a Libyan" pretty harsh shit.
One leading Jewish Doctor told me "I liked Sara better when she was just a cult monkey goddess and not betrothed to a Libyan" pretty harsh shit.
I on the other hand I wonder what Mr. Igtet's family feels about their son marring a Bronfman?
Sara's Great grandfather Sam Bronfman of Seagram Distillers fame made their fortune selling booze to American gangsters during the U.S. Prohibition years. Sam Bronfman met Al Capone, “Dutch” Schultz, "Machine Gun" Jack McGurn and Tony "Joe Batters" Accardo in the White Hotel lobby in Saskatchewan.
“Nice to meet you, gentlemen," Sam said, extending his hand to Capone. “This is my brother Harry. Welcome to Saskatchewan, home of the best whiskey this side of the St. Lawrence.”
Capone shook Sam’s hand. The steely-eyed gazes of the other gangsters sent a chill down Sam’s back. He wondered if he’d made a mistake cutting a deal with these hardened criminals, for illicit dealings inevitably come with violence. On October 4, 1922, the body of Paul Matoff was found on a back road about two miles south of Bienfait. He’d been killed with a single shotgun blast to the chest. Matoff was the Bronfmans’ brother-in-law and family business partner. It was Matoff who often conducted the business meetings with the mob and then arranged the booze exchange with the American gangsters. His murder was never solved, but the talk around town was that a Chicago gangster gunned him down over a booze deal gone bad. From

But in the end that single handshake began an illicit business that today finances a Halfmoon based cult complete with an alleged pedophile in chief. I wonder what old Sam would think of that?
Boy would I love to be at this wedding. I wonder if Keith Raniere will give her away or will they have a wedding night threesome, will Flurry film it?
Keith was never much of a drinker I guess he won’t mind a sober Sara
In other news Michelle Verdicchio sold property at 7 Generals Way, Halfmoon NY to Cult Monkey grade B actress Allison Mack for $232000.
7 Generals Way just happens to be around the corner from the grubby one Keith Raniere. Seems she is a bit down now that she is an umemployed actrees and writes in her blog:
"I expressed this concern, this incredible feeling of loss and lack of direction to a dear friend and mentor of mine, Keith Raniere” Isn’t that touching? Her blog is HERE. She calls the blog entry "What Now"
"I expressed this concern, this incredible feeling of loss and lack of direction to a dear friend and mentor of mine, Keith Raniere” Isn’t that touching? Her blog is HERE. She calls the blog entry "What Now"
So I guess we know, just move in next to the alleged pedophile in chief. One Fan posted this HERE
In the meantime sources tell me anti NXIVM comments are being taken down from her blog including these
All i’m hearing is a bunch of nonsense. I’m mean seriously you need a some mentor to hold your hand? look i get you just got off from a show but let’s be real here about NXIVM. I’ve heard very upsetting enough to know that there bad news to get involve with. “Either your here one hundred percent, or you need to walk away, the choice is your’s to be a leader not some poor sucker who wiill be left in the dust.” When NXIVM find’s no use for you. Is that the kind of message your sending to your fans? then i’m sorry i don’t support your choice in this… you may deleted it or think nothing of it. I can careless but i know at some point you’ll read my post. I used to think gee you have the perfect life that maybe i was wrong about you, but when comes down to it i just pity you now. Sorry Mack if you want to be a savior to the world then save yourself before you decide to be some savior, nobody asked you to solve our problems so don’t speak for other Women… you don’t know what they want or what thet need, just do us all a favor grow up already for Fuck stake!

I hope Allison saved up some of that money of hers instead of blowing it all on this group.
Poor Allison. She's a good actress, can be a good director, and can sing well too. What does she need from a guy like Raniere? Look at Mr. Vicente. He's been with the group for ten years and he has one movie to show for it, and I don't believe it was even due to his association with NXIVM. All Raniere has done is rip off existing life-coaching techniques from the likes of Scientology and other groups, and simply repackaged them for others to sell. Of course, he did get lucky and con two poor little rich girls who, like many others in this day and age, lack their own self-identity. Why they want to obtain their identity from a man who can't seem to keep his dick in his pants or ego in check, and is nothing more than a serial scam artist, is beyond sane and rational people to comprehend.
It's only a matter of time before he tries to sleep with Allison. Just like he probably wants to sleep with Kristin Kreuk, or any of the other good looking actresses they'll no doubt attempt to recruit via Jness from their base in LA and other places.
This marriage of Sara's is most likely a scam, laced with underhanded motives. A plan by some of the financial elite to get their claws into the newly forming government of Libya. Gaddafi was a dictator - he served his purpose - but that wasn't the reason he was allowed to be overthrown. He wanted to nationalize his country's oil industry and move away from manipulated fiat currency to the gold dinar, which is a big no-no to the banking elite that scams the human population for its real wealth (natural resources, property, etc.) via its control over computer-based financial manipulation and debt introduction, which is simply slavery. Sara is, at minimum, just another pawn, at maximum, an actual player in the game of her family and their hidden relationships, to continue doing what they've always been doing. Scamming nations for the resources to make a select group of people live the so-called "good life."
At least, that's how I see it. Time will tell if I'm right or way off base.
As a big Smallville fan, it kills me to learn about Kristin Kreuk and Allison Mack's involvement in a cult. Rumor has it that Kreuk has been involved for a very long time, and recruited Mack and others from the show. Allison's latest blog post has a lot of fans concerned because it sounds like this cult leader basically told her to stop acting. I wonder what has happened recently, because just last year she was doing stage work, studying acting, and blogging about getting past her weight and body issues. She even did a fan convo event with a SV producer and told fans about how her experienes onstage helped her fall back in love with acting.
Now she's suddenly blogging about stepping away from acting and tweeting about doing juice cleanses. For her own sake I hope she can get away from these people, but it doesn't look good. Both Allison and Kristin are beautiful, talented young women. They have their own lives and careers ahead of them, and they're squandering it on this? I hope they wisen up.
I cannot figure out if Sarah is distancing herself from NXIVM and moving on or if she is following Raniere's orders so he can establish his new country in Libya. Either way, poor Libya!
4:13PM -
Nicely put.
Except Vicente was one of THREE co-directors of 'What the Bleep...' Comments on this blog often refer to the 'one movie' he directed and I think it's helpful to remind people he was NOT "the director" of 'What the Bleep...'
It downright disturbing to see Mack, in her own words, describing how Raniere is directing her to abandon her life's work to focus on NXIVM...just as Raniere has done to dozens and dozens of other NXIAN acolytes. As time goes on, I have a harder time mustering sympathy for NXIVM apologists, ESPECIALLY those like Kreuk and Mack who use their semi-celebrity status to further Raniere's reach and wealth.
And seriously, fuck that cunt Sara. Every time a member of NXIVM claims that criticisms are 'baseless,' they are actually accusing victims of rape of being liars. They are accusing JT, O'Hara, Bouchey, T. Natalie, and every other ex-NXIAN who have been stalked and harassed and have had their lives torn to shreds of being liars. Oh, and fuck the "Globe And Mail" for giving Sara a public forum to dismiss NXIVM criticisms and to accuse multiple rape victims of being liars without offering any sort of opposing viewpoint.
The so-called "controversy" surrounding NXIVM is WAAAAY past even USING the term "controversy." They have been accused, by MULTIPLE ex-members, of TONS of illegal activity, including tax evasion, stalking, rape, child rape, and much much more. Please God, can the authorities step in already?
And..... Our baby Lama still has a job http://newscenter.sdsu.edu/sdsu_newscenter/news.aspx?s=73450. He just spoke at San Diego State University the other day. The Dalai Lama will be speaking there next month.
Interestingly enough he has been an american for 20 years:
The Venerable Lama Tenzin Dhonden will speak today at 12:30 p.m. at the Parma Payne Goodall Alumni Center. Tenzin is currently acting as the Personal Emissary of Peace for His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama.
Trained in the monastic traditions of Namgyal Monastery, His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama’s personal monastery in Dharamsala, India, Lama Tenzin has completed rigorous studies in Buddhist philosophy and Tantric practice.
He is also a renowned master of the art of Buddhist sand mandalas and butter sculpture.
An American for more than 20 years, Lama Tenzin has acted as the media liaison for His Holiness since 2005. This visit is a precursor to His Holiness’ sold-out visit to San Diego State in April.
Today’s lecture focuses on the concepts of compassion and impermanence, which is also the theme for His Holiness’ SDSU lecture, “Compassion Without Borders.”
Following the lecture, The Lama Tenzin will answer student questions posed earlier this week.
The event is free but space is limited.
"Following the lecture, The Lama Tenzin will answer student questions posed earlier this week."
Someone should print out the photographs that John has of him and ask him how partying with billionaire cult priestesses and celebrities(as John likes to label them) on Necker island align with the values of self-negation that Buddha taught seeing that he's supposedly a monastic Buddhist monk.
Or maybe someone can ask the Baby Lama if that blow job he got from Sara in the hot tub was the best he ever got.
Note to Basit: Your fiancee gives great head
From: Tom, Dick, and Harry and lots of others...
Perhaps Lama Tenzin was practicing this: In Tibetan Buddhism, the songyum was the consort ("spiritual wife") of many high-ranking lamas. Such sexual activity by the ostensibly celibate was a closely guarded secret, with only the Lama'a closest associates knowing of the woman's existence as a songyum
Here, we can say whatever we want. Although I don't agree with the extent to which some go to with principle of "freedom of speech" - vulgarity, meanness, lack of respect, etc. in lieu of human dignity - I do believe in their right to say it.
On Miss Mack's blog, one gets banned for linking to the Times Union article or to this website, or saying anything negative, though possibly truthful, about NXIVM or its guru.
Proceeding to Mack's site, I found the following message:
"The site has blocked you from posting new comments."
Everyone just wants to ruin the "ethical heroes" that are NXIVM. The hypocritically ethical, tax evading, stalking, harassing - through litigation or otherwise - group, who have access to the millions of dollars of the Bronfman brats, with a sexual predator who has a penchant for underage girls (and more) as its guru.
I would be laughing right now if it wasn't so pathetic.
I think Mack is a so-so actress and an abysmal director.
Her Smallville directorial debut, an episode titled Power, was thinly disguised NXIVM nonsense. The episode was trying to say something profound about heroes, empowerment and sacrifice but almost everybody save the Kreuk/Lana fans saw it for the dreck it was.
Kreuk and Mack ran amok with that scrip demanding rewrites. I wouldn't be surprised if they were faxing pages to Raniere for his input.
Her next outing with Warrior wasn't all that better but this time she had a script written by a an actual writer instead of a NXIVM hack. Yes, I know, Power is attributed to two of the co-producers at the time but even they say Kreuk came in and wanted changes.
I have zero sympathy for Mack. So many people have so many bigger problems in their lives.
She's a spoiled entitled self absorbed whiner who never understood how lucky she was to be where she is with so little talent. She, by her own admission, never watched her own show and treated it with thinly veiled disdain.
She was easy pickings for Kreuk who comes across as butter wouldn't melt in her mouth. Yet this woman is responsible for how many recruits in to this cult? Together Mack and Kreuk pulled in this hapless fan who used to post on "Television Without Pity" Tabitha somethingortheother. I think Mack got credit for that sale.
These women are dangerous. They aren't victims. They are in the inner circle. They're meeting with Raniere and spreading his poison to their fans.
I am disgusted Kreuk has been cast as Catherine in the upcoming CW remake (why??) of 1980s tv show Beauty and the Beast. I hope it isn't picked up but I'm sure it will be. I hope it's a matter of blink and you miss it and it's cancelled quickly.
These women do not need even wider exposure for their toxic nonsense.
I say good riddance to Mack. I hope she stays far away from the stage and screen because this means less foolish fans will get sucked in to her web.
Posters like 10:46 AM are obvious NXIVM inner cult shills playing the double talk game.
10:59: Heh! I only wish. I'd love to be an inner circle rich hack coddled with free trips to exotic islands lying on the beach contemplating my navel.
I'm just not that lucky.
These idiots are dangerous. They prey on low hanging fruit through ventures like Girls by Design and Jness.
I'm sick and tried of these fools getting a pass.
I watched Smallville because of my life long love of the Superman character. Unfortunately a lot of the show was tedious teen drama.
Power was one of the true low points of that show. Anyone who has watched the episode and read up on this cult's teaching can see their grubby finger prints all of it.
Kruek had a lot of input in Power (and the second part Requiem) with Mack directing her BFF in Power. NXIVM poison on a Superman show. Disgusting.
OooOOoooooOOOOOooooh ! Just found a totally sick NLP soundtrack for NXIVM puppy deprogrammation.
"Stepping away" is more than likely spin for "nobody will hire me." Imagine the meltdown once a person realizes they are both washed up and brainwashed before they even hit 30.
Nah, 10:46 am is probably just a Lois fan. We're strongly divided into fan camps for Allison Mack, Kristin Kreuk, and Erica Durance.
Notice the fan blog linked in this article lays out AM's involvement in nxvium, but downplays KK's membership and even implies she may have left the cult. It's silly fan stuff.
I still think it's such a shame these women got sucked into a cult. I hope they can snap out of it and soon. JNess sounds like complete and utter nonsense, I don't know how anyone can look at the website and think it's going to help anyone accomplish anything. Go back to acting, Allison. Save yourself and others!
@12:24 PM
"Anyone who has watched the episode and read up on this cult's teaching can see their grubby finger prints all of it."
I watched it. I never saw anything remotely cult-like at all in the episode. Your claim is total crap. Female empowerment isn't unique to
NXIVM or Jness. It's just another theme Raniere ripped off so he can get into the pants of more women.
I think you're just here to rag on Kristin and Allison. You could be a a delusional shipper of Lois, or simply dislike Kristin and Allison for whatever reason.
In other words, you see their association to a cult, and you've found an easy way in to let the vitriol fly.
And the Kreuk & Mack fan club arrives. Why do you people always turn everything in to a shipper war?
Facts? Mack and Kreuk are in deep with this cult. They are recruiters. Mack by working on Jness and Kreuk with her Girls by Design are trying to suck in young girls in to a cult.
And the themes and language used in Power was very reminiscent of the NXIVM teachings. So sorry you worshiping fangirls/boys have such a difficult time understanding your heroines are not victims but willing stooges for Raniere.
"So sorry you worshiping fangirls/boys have such a difficult time understanding your heroines are not victims but willing stooges for Raniere."
Well, we know for sure that Allison has claimed Raniere as a good friend according to her blog. But what about Kristin? Has there been any evidence whatsoever that she has any type of relationship other than indirect student/teacher? I've not seen, read, or heard about anything like that all. These type of groups have several layers, where people at the top may never even come into contact with those at layers below them. But I have read a statement from Kristin where she said Girls by Design isn't associated with NXIVM in any way. Sure, she might have used ideas that she's learned from there, but so what? Raniere seems to have ripped off everything from other life-coaching techniques, and Ayn Rand, anyway.
I know Allison and Kristin had a production company together, with one other person who isn't a part of NXIVM. But Allison left it to do stage work in NY and now lives there. Kristin, on the other hand, moved to LA to pursue acting opportunities. So it seems Allison and Kristin have loosened at least a few of their ties.
"And the themes and language used in Power was very reminiscent of the NXIVM teachings."
Sorry, but repeating something doesn't make it true. Even if it does, those themes aren't even unique to NXIVM.
I wrote you something 10 years ago. Now I need a copy. Please send it using the same e-mail address ... replacing the dot (.) with a dash (-). Thank you forehand !
@SVFan:
Notice the fan blog linked in this article lays out AM's involvement in nxvium, but downplays KK's membership and even implies she may have left the cult. It's silly fan stuff.
Kristin Kreuk's role isn't downplayed. The author sounds like they weren't sure what Kreuk's status was, considering she hasn't done much lately that points to NXIVM and obviously isn't in as deep as Mack who has forsaken acting, moved closer to Raniere, and is working for one of the cult's organizations (i.e Jness). Compared to Mack, Kreuk does seem less involved and less isolated than Mack.
Suggesting that Kristin may have left the cult, or is getting less and less involved in it, is nothing more than making a guess based on comparing her level of recent, documented participation and Mack's. It's not some fan conspiracy to besmirch Mack by making Kreuk look better. Besides, the blog itself links to articles implicating Kristin's past involvement. Whether Kristin's still that involved or not doesn't absolve her of her past poor choices.
Kreuk and Mack both deserve scrutiny and censure, but Mack's the one who sent a very recent, clear, and bold message that she could care less that she's very close to a man and an organization she must know is accused of serious crimes. She also seems quite content to let that same man tell her what to do with her life. It's disturbing beyond belief!
Until Mack (and Kreuk) clearly and publicly sever their ties to NXIVM, people should avoid placing them on pedestals as role models for young women.
I'm not sure why these celebrities deserve censure or need to be taken to account. If they were conned, or brainwashed, they are victims in some sense too.
Personally, I think the fucking government needs to be taken to account. If NXIVM is what it is, and Raniere has done the things he's done, what the fuck are they doing? Twiddling their thumbs? Picking their noses? It appears that the author of this blog is getting his information from somebody in the know, with inside ties to the group.
It should be easy to get rid of NXIVM. Get rid of the head honcho and everything falls apart.
Then people can snap out of it and go back to the rest of their lives.
@7:51PM I've asked myself the same questions. I asked the questions as did others on the TU read and react thread. Now, the link to the NXIVM series has been removed from the TU Main Page. My last comment linking back to JT's blog went unposted on that thread.
Most of us have short memories. The fact that a rapist, pedophile, tax evader, money launderer sick twisted fuck of a little man lives amongst us will be forgotten by most by the time the next Vanguard week occurs. Most people will lose interest when nothing happens. There is a saying: give time time But Time really is the enemy for those of us who want justice now. It really makes me question the legal system and my government when it cant protect us from the likes of socio-path. And I truly believe KR is the classic definition of a socio-path.
I have no idea if NXIVM files a corporate tax return. I have no idea how much money if any money they make. Maybe the are all living large on Clare's trust fund. Maybe the feds laugh at the little man's ideas that he is going to take over the world as the ideas of a dreamer, nutjob etc. My guess is there may not be enough money to warrant an investigation. Maybe I am wrong and there is lots of illegal money floating around. Maybe they are financing the drug war in Mexico. Who the hell knows?
One question I've never seen raised or answered is why haven't they been shut down for practicing therapy without a license? That alone should warrant some kind of investigation. Why is Nurse Nancy allowed to do what she does.
The sweat lodge deaths by another self-help guru resulted in the leader being punished..... http://articles.latimes.com/2011/jun/22/nation/la-na-sweat-lodge-trial-20110623. After the TU article made mention of several suicides, of nervous breakdowns amongst intensive attendees why hasnt anyone thrown a cease and desist on their door ( after reading this LA times piece I wonder if the family of Kirby Brown ever started that not for profit they mention herein to warn people of the dangers of Group Awareness Cults)
And why the hell haven't concerned family members contacted the authorities or intervened? You are just a bunch of enablers. I know one of the listed "coaches" happens to be one of the top female runners in the area. She has a father who is a local neurosurgeon. This woman majored in psychology and should know better. To me, it appears that her sense of self was wrapped up in her sports ability like Alison Mack's is/was in her SmallVille role. When her college sports star days ended she began looking for answers to the "What do I want to be when I grow up Question" in the wrong place.
Make no mistake KR is a predator.
"Make no mistake KR is a predator."
Of course he is. All sociopaths are. For example, Jness is simply his con[cock]ted (pun intended) ogling and bait device.
A woman's organization "conceptually founded" by a man who is a sociopath.
The same man who serially sexually exploited multiple underage girls, raped Tony Natalie multiple times by her own admission, and currently resides unwed with three women whom he's obviously sleeping with, among other female cult members, none of them allowed to own his penis, because he thinks sex is nothing more than a game of tennis or chess.
This is Mr. Ethical? Please.
How creepy is that?
Mack has been cast in a recurring role on Wilfred. I guess she has a better idea what to do know.

I noticed someone called into question the claim that Mack and Kreuk’s involvement with NXIVM influenced the writing, direction, and overall thematic content of Kreuk’s final arc on Smallville, specifically the episodes “Power” and “Requiem.” The connections and similarities are not overt or explicit. However, there are certain code words and certain ideas NXIVM espoused that can be found on the show if one knows where to look. After examining some of the literature on NXIVM’s official site and Lana’s final two episodes, including the episode “Power” Mack directed, the most significant and most telling link is the idea of triumphing over one’s fears and one’s past as a victim to achieve one’s full potential (Source: http://www.espian.net/origins.php).
Both “Power” and NXIVM throw around the word “rise” to describe the process of self-empowerment and self-actualization. NXIVM explains a critical aspect of its fundamental philosophy: “Each rise, each act of human excellence raises mankind to new heights. Each fall, each act of destruction is a mindless regression. While many have sensed a need to break away from the primitive patterning that keeps us from a path of continuous progression, few have thought it possible.” A line from “Power” uses the term: “…to rise from the ashes of your previous life, stronger, more powerful...fearless. It's time to rise.” It was used again here: “As you rise higher and higher, never look down.”
A testimonial from a woman who attended a multiple day seminar evokes themes found on the show: "When I began Executive Success Programs, I was an emotional mess. I was going through a difficult time in my life, and my emotions were literally controlling me. I was allowing myself to be a victim to everything and everyone. After my first ESP module, my life virtually turned around- I realized that I was in control of my emotions and that I could choose to remain a victim or NOT! My life is 100% better today - not perfect, but well on the way." (Source: http://www.espian.net/testimonials_all.php). After Lana completed her personal transformation in “Power,” she began evangelizing another troubled young woman on the show, Tess Mercer. She tells her, rather hypocritically, “You may have gotten rid of the microchip, but every second that you're consumed by hate is another second Lex is still in control of you. Don't be a victim anymore.”
Bottom line? There are a few subtle parallels between the episodes “Power” and “Requiem” on Smallville and NXIVM philosophies. I wouldn’t say it’s a clear case of Mack and Kreuk crafting episodes to conform to cult teachings, but there is enough evidence, in my opinion, to at least consider how their creative input may have influenced the show.
Thanks so much for posting this info! I had lot that Allison and Kristin left NXIVM; you have demonstrated that not only is this not the case, Allison has decided that acting should take a back seat to this soul sucking enterprise.
I hope you don't mind, but I linked to your blog on a blog post I just wrote about Allison and Kristin being in the cult. I just find it odd that they've made this choice.
The Smallville fan in me also finds it amusing that the women who played Chloe and Lana have joined a cult, but the woman who played Lois did not.

I apologise for posting my comment so many times; it didn't seem to be going through.
@10:45
Big fucking deal. Raniere stole his shit from Ayn Rand, who said the same shit, and she wasn't a leader of a cult, unless you call it the cult of objectivism.
I think you missed the news about the housing authority, read by the mayor last night.
Time for a blog about it, we are losing ground with the SSHA.
I think Brunelle has been given a chance to resign, by the way the mayor worded his answer to the question last night.
Anonymous at 10:45PM mentions the use of the word 'RISE" in NXIVM teachings. Why is it that socio-paths love this word? RISE was written on the wall of the Leno and Rosemary LaBianca home during the Manson murder spree and Charlie thought the Beatles were chanting Rise to him on the White Album. The black man was eventually going to RISE up and Kill white folk. Or once again VanDouchebag hasnt an original thought ever in his head.

Sara,
You should have gone with your initial gut instinct about this group and not let them convince you to wear the scarf. Your gut is always right. Your body knows before your head does when there's a problem. Learn to listen to yourself.
It's one of the many "yeses" they get you to agree to (classic sales technique) until you give them the big one - put me in your will (for you anyway).
You were someone of value to them (i.e. wealthy, don't make the mistake of thinking it was about you). Your dissension, i.e. suppressiveness was met with a very special private group em session or one on one with Nancy where they convince you it's your issue, as was likely your experience. You came back a few days later in tears with the scarf on apologizing to the group for disrespecting everyone or some nonsense like that. It was pretty disappointing to see you had given in. I respected you for standing up for what you believed in ... until you caved ...
I was told by Nancy, in front of an entire group of people, that defiance is one of the most destructive character traits a person can have - more manipulation. (Their agenda is woven throughout what they euphemistically call their "curriculum".) I would argue that defiance can also present as a survival instinct, which they are systematically attempting to short circuit. Their game is to shut your critical thought processes down to where you are totally second guessing and doubting yourself and follow them without question.
Worked on you and Clare didn't it? You two were the perfect victims for them to exploit. See how persistencies pay off? They got ALL your money.
Have they ever taken responsibility for ANYTHING? It's all deflected. They get what they want if you're gullible enough to continue playing.
Don't you understand how this all works? How they rope you in??? Read a book or two or three about how cults work. I know they tell you not to read books, the answers aren't in books...more nonsense.
Yeah ... Keith and Nancy have all the answers. She said once to think of them as parents. I digress, a book could be written about all the shit they shovel ...
The intensives ... it's group hypnosis led by a trained, certified hypnotist. They don't want trained mental health professionals in there for a reason. I had seen people come out of those ready to leave their families and loved ones behind, and many did.
I overheard a couple of coaches arguing once at an intensive about who had to take care of their baby who they were apparently struggling to take care of while "working" as coaches at the intensive. The child was in the building being passed around to various baby sitters so the parents could do their oh so important work. Coaching the intensive was more important than caring for THEIR BABY. I use the word "working" loosely ... no one gets paid for coaching. In fact, you are required to give them so many (more unpaid) hours a month in service to them for the privilege of being a coach, which you earned by recruiting. It's all so twisted and sick. And it's not projection ... sometimes things just are what they are.
The things that are said about this group are not baseless Sara. Wake up and get your money out of their hands. Do something worthwhile with it.
You took a wrong turn. They got you when you put that scarf on. You don't need them. Do some real good in the world with your money.
