Glad to hear you will be on your best behavior Mozart. As far as giving anyone a chance; "A friend is just someone who hasnt screwed you yet." Respect is earned over time, not given right away to be eroded over time, capice? You can try pulling on my guilt strings when they form, till then keep being the good guy. Oh yah, Welcome to the forum.

"They are all about power, money and control, operating under the guise of saving the world." That kind of description speaks volumes. Remind you of anyone? As for 'beating up' I appologize for my direct words, I just felt like my chain was being 'yanked' if ya know what I mean. Call me a skeptic. Rick, Im well aware of how much $$$ NXIVM has accumulated

Well... Ya lost me!! Dunno how you managed but, shit happens right? Kieth and Nancy are nowhere's near as 'powerful' or as 'rich' as you claim. Heh, Ive seen Nancy's house and its a shack compared to what I live in. Kieth is a street walker. He likens himself to Jesus and probably thinks he has all the answers to our primative little problems; "Trust i

I can direct you to another message board, not related to cults, hence not used nor browsed by anyone even remotely connected to NXIVM or other groups. It is a board used by a small, international, Star Wars online gaming group of which I am a 'member' and moderator. Undetectable by Raniere's Radar, inpenetrable and impervious to unwanted eyes.

Forum: Former Cult Members and Affected Families

This is a group that I feel isnt getting the attention they deserve. I also get the feeling that NVIVM is a group that past participants are very very reluctant to speak about. I am curious, with interest to detail, the procedures involved with the basic and advanced courses, the relative culture of the group, and most of all Id like to hear from anyone who has ever met, spoken with or

"I just can't understand how well-educated, intelligent people such as my friend and sister in law can disregard any logic and take such a pollyannic view of something that is so obviously destructive.

Often times I wonder which Landmark is more harmful to, the people who attend the courses or the loved ones of those who attend... Personally I wouldnt want to deal with being either, if I even hear that a family member is merely thinking of attending... Well those of you who are familiar with my unabridged posts can imagine what that would sound like. "Friends are just strangers who

In specific I was meaning to start this topic long ago in regards to what others here may speculate as to the "Cultish" culture of the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) and in what ways the WWE manages to keep a following of people entertained by the notion of outcome predetermined competitions. My theory: Weekly televised WWE events are typically used for the build-up of monthly

Wow!! More than 300 bills. The price of snake oil is out of control these days. Well perhaps it is morally wrong to allow a fool to keep their money. I'm not married to a Sterling Maid, or remotely aware how much a sucker would pay to have thier will broken and their mind bent. I guess the more you pay the better the product right?

Ellen, Dont expect even a shred of integrity from Wary. He contradicts himself between his posts and proves two things time and again: 1. He came here seeking confrontation and starving for attention. I guess congratulatoins are in order, he suceeded in his quest for both. 2. That the truth and any form of consistency in his posts is as foreign to him as Cantonese is to me. For

Wary get a grip. Dont insinuate that you are like me. Were you paying attention? I was ripping on you. You more or less said that you expect hostility here. To me that means you came here looking for a fight. I think you got what you came for, but quite frankly I'm not impressed.

Dont bother attending. For Christs sake Im so sick of all these God Damn LGATS. Exactly what could they possibly freaking offer? Long story short: If you are a real loser the Sterling Wives Club will exploit that weakness and prey on your insecurity. They will make you realize what a loser you are only to tell you that YOU are the reason you are such a big loser. Talk about stinking snake oi

I am not warytraveller. I didnt shed a tear for any landmark employees who may have died in the terrorist attack.

Darko is now my favorite film. It was a great combination of several different catagories of flim, had the Sci-fi, comedy, drama, teen romance, and the suspense. Without a doubt one of the more entertaining films Ive seen in ages.

There is absolutely NO threat or itentionally implied wish for harm to befall Nancy Salzman or Kieth Raniere or anyone involved with or associated with NXIVM.

Hypocracy and subtlety. KKK is not about equality but about pride and love for ones white heritage. Even though the focus is on white pride, the side effect is the alienation of other cultures. Not much different than radical Islam when you boil it down.
