"In my humble experience, those who are obsessed with the power of others, power differentials, are actually the more power mad among us." I think you should seriously question why you are posting on an anti-cult forum then... There are few forms of organization more totalitarian than cults.
Forum: Large Group Awareness Training, "Human Potential"

I don't understand why you're so butthurt. I read the thread you participated in, and the regulars didn't say anything they shouldn't have. This is called the "Cult Education Institute" and you expect to remain unchallenged when you try to paint everything as a cult and cults as mundane? Come on. This forum is about destructive cults, groups that hurt people and dest

I don't understand. This is a forum where people come to read and post messages, the messages are hard to read because the forum is buggy, and you won't fix it? That makes no sense.

Since I submitted this question, it doesn't seem like it was fixed. I've stopped coming to this board because it's just too hard to read posts now. Can't anything be done?

If this topic has already been discussed, I apologize... I tried a search but did not find anything relevant. America is a religiously tolerant place, but so are many other places. Why does it seem that it is particularly tolerant towards cults. Perhaps this is a misguided impression, but the case of Scientology seems like good evidence, although that might be because of local celebrity powe

Well that just goes to show how little you understand of Subgenius vocabulary, or of cult mechanisms (loading the language). "Pink" means anyone who does not have the Subgenius personality type. It's got nothing to do with American culture in 1982.

Ever since the forum format was changed, it no longer fits correctly on my browser. Having to scroll left and right just to read things is rather counterproductive.

I have been following this forum for years, but I've never had any reason to post. I really like all the qualified people speaking up on all sorts of cults. However, as a Subgenius, I do feel like I am mildly qualified to post on this thread. Shakti is basically right. For most people, the Church of the Subgenius is disturbing, a cult, or a joke. But as Rev. Stang, current leader of the
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

Weird, I don't know how this post ended up here. It was supposed to go under the "Hoffman Institute" thread. But perhaps this is due to my mistake for typing "HP" instead of "HI" for Hoffman Institute. I apologize if that is the case.

I believe that the power elite is behind The Secret, and Oprah is definitely in on it. To me that woman raises serious alarms, she is very, very dangerous and is in a key position to promote beliefs that brainwash people in favour of the elite. In the US at least, she is a linchpin of their plans. Now think about this, what better way for them to push their agenda than to brainwash people to b
Forum: Large Group Awareness Training, "Human Potential"

I've got to agree with the moderator in this instance: it seems we are being given precious little actual information about what happens (and how) in that group and a lot of personal feelings and evaluations about it. But if (and I do say "if") the group is a cult, and brainwashes people, then why should we trust the personal feelings and evaluations of people who might be brainwas
