__________QUOTE______________________ About Us History Trellis House was purchased in February 2007 after a year of dreaming and searching by Marc and Rebekah Beneteau. Rebekah had been living for 5 years, and Marc 3 years, in the Yonkers Morehouse, and we both had taken a lot of courses with the Lafayette Morehouse (previously More University). The experience of living in the comm

Its better if the new Trellis House information goes into the OneTaste Victor Baranco thread, otherwise it gets lost over time. Also, that thread was merged, so it begins with posts by Marc Beneteau about Baranco and Daedone, where Beneteau is putting out all sorts of false and self-serving disinformation.

It appears that the same Trellis House that was run by Marc Beneteau who posted in this very forum has been shut down by the authorites His wife Rebekah Beneteau is mentioned in the article. Here is Marc Beneteau running his Victor Baranco apologetics and deceptive tactics. Notice how Marc Beneteau was directly identified for what he was doing, and challenged right here in this for

This is actually a Lafayette Morehouse spin-off (check previous forum dicussions: ) It was just shut down by local zoning officials--at least temporarily: , but for some reason the reporter didn't go into a lot of detail about the cult aspects of this place--even though it was all right on their website--Trellishouse.org. In the meantime they shut down their website and any old blog post
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

Marc Beneteau, in your own blog you have mentioned some problems you have had with others who were challenging you on your desire to be a "Guru". Blunt talk, based on reality and facts is not something Gurus tend to enjoy, so they run. You also speak softly, but seem to be quite skilled at word-warping. For example, you claim to talk about OBJECTIVE INFORMATION. Well guess what? T
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

Guys, First off I want to thank the administrators for merging the two threads. That is a nice piece of forum wizardry. Reading some of the new posts here, it seems clear to me that the thought of having a courteous and respectful conversation on this issue, driven by objective information, was a bit delusional on my part. Since I have no desire to engage in forum wars, I am going to ma

ok, it looks like the original thread about OneTaste has been merged with the other thread. So its all in one thread now... Victor Baranco, OneTaste, Lafayette Morehouse, More University, Trellis Community House...
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

some other info turns up about Lafayette Morehouse. (which is a cynical organizational name meant to confuse people with other decent entities named Morehouse and Lafayette. Victor Baranco was such a cynical s.o.b). But they were involved, and appear to have lost cases involved in the anti-SLAPP legislation. It looks like More University tried to so a Scientology style libel-chill lawsuit again

in Philadelphia, Marc and Rebekah Beneteau are running TRELLIS HOUSE, which is another clone group of Lafayette Morehouse (previously More University), which is basically the same structure as One Taste by Nicole Daedone. Both are based on Victor Baranco. (how many other groups like these are out there??) Notice how Trellis House uses the word TRANSFORMATION constantly, and that Marc Beneteau

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ One last post here... Marc Beneteau says that almost no one pays the $2,000 a week at OneTaste? HOW DOES HE KNOW THAT? Has he seen their private accounting and payment books? Is that a sucker-price for guys who are losers? Do young women get in for free and guys pay triple? Or is he just making it up? Or writing what OneTaste asked him to write? Its either a false statem

As predicted, as the google alerts get out there, they come to try to do some PR. Someone named Marc Beneteau has started another thread about OneTaste and Victor Baranco, to try and defend their methods. Why is Marc Beneteau starting a "new thread" when there already is a thread going? What is the purpose in that? To derail that train of analysis? Marc Beneteau has also state
