Steve989 posted this below on the PSI thread. I asked him via PM if he had any information on how Impact Trainings plugs into this historical network, but he said he was unfamiliar with Impact and would research it. It seems to me that Hans Berger was a Lifespring graduate. Also I have seen indications that Hans has had some poor health and may not be active in Impact any longer. Could anyone

Thank you. I think the CRHP group is using a lot of tactics that show up in the business cults. What they do is start out with a false need which they then define and to which the only solution is to join them. Their basic premise is that there is no "unity" and the only way to have "unity" is through their retreats. They train their people to sell their retreats with a vi

I posted a link from Unity in another thread... very interesting site. The manner in which the Church deals with things like the Legion of Christ can be confusing and it is good to remember that the Catholic Church is older than most of the countries within which these groups operate, and so there is a lot of local discretion left up to bishops. Some groups themselves are more monolithic than

For those unfamiliar with Steiner and Waldorf anti-semitism, here is a little primer. While it would be easy to say "his views on Jews don't invalidate his views on gardening, mysticism, etc. Walt Disney was a right-wing nut, but that doesn't mean his movies were bad", Steiner's views on Jews were not "separate" or "secret", but openly espoused and tie

It has recently become popular to speak of "the five-fold ministry," a system of church government with apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers.
