According to one of the people I know involved in UM, the happy, exuberant person she used to be was nothing more than an act; a "mask", and the superstitious, anxious, neurotic, frequently miserable person she has become as a result of Serge's indoctrination is her &qu

Thanks for sharing the article on A.J. Miller's cult, Venus. The parallels to Serge and Universal Medicine are staggering. Apparently Serge has implied that Miranda is the reincarnation of Mary Magdalene as well, so the similarities really are uncanny. Worth noting the following quote from the Miller article too, especially considering the torrents of e-mails and comments sent to journali

Let's be clear: if Serge has actually heard testimonies (either from the victims or their parents) of girls as young as 10 engaging in violent intercourse with older male partners, or of parents showing pornography to their own children (as young as 8) then he needs to report it to the police. If he does not do so he is an accessory to the abuse If he has not heard such testimonies, then
