Hi Not-afaidofMooji, thank you for sharing your experiences. It's great to get some insight into trauma bonding, too. I think the second video you shared about trauma bonding is a lot easier to understand than the first. The fact that Tony acts differently at retreats than what he does at Monte Sahaja makes a lot of sense and explains why so many people go to retreats and report not b

The person (ex cult inner circle member) who was harassed by Moo over the phone recently, now has this to say: "I am willing to go public with my experiences in this cult & confirm all allegations from Be Scofield's article, if Mooji or his organisation harass me again in any way." "The moment I get another call or text from Mooji cult, they'll see a FB livestr

Yes, very interesting that Tony Moo is sniffing around, trying to find out who spoke to Be Scofield. As someone else wrote here, if what what was published in Be's article was all lies, how on Earth would it matter to Tony who made these lies up? Anyone could have made up the lies! Why would it be one one of his former followers (and member of his inner circle) that concocted the lies? Wh
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

Interesting new development. Apparently Tony has personally been making a few calls - trying to work out which of his former inner circle cult members talked to Be scofield for her article. Someone who knows Moo well recently posted this on their Facebook page: "Today my ex Guru called me by turning one of ex team member( who was like a sister to me before the call)against me thro

Yes, Clearvision, that is so true. The Mooji Foundation very much look to us here at Cult Ed for advice. They respect our opinions very highly! Whatever we recommend, they follow obediently. That is their cult conditioning after all... it's not like they can think for themselves. lol But yes, of course we must copy everything before we make comment on it, so as to send it to the U

And Voila! The most recent cult video of Moo's incoherent stoned ramblings has been deleted. (Obviously the team do not want us to know that Moo is God just yet. They would rather save that little gem for later....) Ok.

Good Luck with everything PapajisaysNo. It is most important that you get on with your own life and enjoy every moment of it form now on. You have contributed so much. About Old Moo... to me, it is no surprise that the next big cult retreat/recruitment will be in Portugal. Moo has had a good run in Portugal and has not been hassled by the authorities there. It's his 'safe plac

A very special hello to Joyfree. Thank you for sharing your experiences which I know well be helpful to a lot of people who are trying to recover from leaving Mooji.. I hope you are OK.

Thank you 2cents, for sharing that heavily edited video where Moo raves on like a deranged lunatic. It looks like he could be quite close to losing it completely. At 4.50 Tony starts talking about God and then says "His is my father, He is my Son." Is Mooji claiming that he is Christ's father? That perhaps Christ was fathered by Tony? That's really creepy!

From "The Guru Papers" Part 1 - The Assault on Reason "The Eastern view of enlightenment as beyond reason allows gurus to undermine reason. This precept alone makes the guru dangerously feedback-proof, for he automatically escapes accountability for any behaviour.

Good news- the Questioning Mooji Fb page is apparently down for maintenance, and has not been deleted. Very important observation from Corboy- The Mooji Foundation is a registered charity and so must be open to public scrutiny. They are legally responsible to maintain every rule and regulation that would ensure the safety of people who work there and volunteer there. Tony is an employee

Looks like the Questioning Mooji Fb page has been deleted! Perhaps as a result of legal threats, but who really knows? Watch and see what else gets taken down in the next 24 hours.... Joan Tollifson seems to have purged most of the Moo content from her Fb page.... as far as I can see. Still, she hasn't changed her charming review of one of Moo's books, where she states of M

Dear Rick Archer, thank you for confirming that you do not delete any comments form the BATGAP discussions. This is very reassuring to know, as censorship has become a bit of a problem with discussions about Mooji, in general. The BATGAP Fb community page is a very open forum for sharing views on all things spiritual. Some of my own comments 'disappeared' from the discu

That's interesting that Henri J chose to read out the letter from Moo's lawyer. I think the intent is to intimidate Henri, I doubt the Moo Foundation will try to take Henri to court - they have too much to lose. I don't know though. I'm just thinking that if a deformation case were to proceed, a lot of witnesses will be called to testify- and they are bound under oath to t

I can confirm Annette is totally authentic, I have had some contact with her myself and I know that she spoke to Be Scofield for her article. Annette is a very brave, intelligent, perceptive and resourceful woman who does not deserve to be harassed by anyone. Henri - Your intentions are very good, and I admire your tenacity. You have done so much to expose Moo and his transgressions. Very f

Ananas, Thank you for contributing. I am very interested to learn that you spent a few years in and around Monte Sahaja. I'm very glad to hear you are writing about your experiences.

Check out Be Scofield's latest post on her facebook page: Be has just realized that Mooji is indeed God! Which is something I shared with the world yesterday, actually. Now, some critics are unkindly saying that just because old Moo likes to don the white robes occasionally, that doesn't mean he is Jesus. The critics suggest that Be Sofield is setting the bar for Godliness a b

Just one more thing: Joan Tollifson has posted a very cryptic comment on her facebook page. Not that I want to torment poor old Joan, who I'm sure has plenty of sterling qualities!

Very interesting conversation going on over at the Questioning Mooji Facebook page, under the article that shares what other spiritual teachers have to say about Moo and his devious ways... There is some discussion about why the Questioning Moo team decided to remove a quote from Jeff Foster (who is apparently a spiritual teacher himself). Apparently Jeff asked for his quote to be removed.

I just found this really interesting comment underneath a Youtube video critical of Moo. (I think this video has been shared here previously.) The comment is by 'Nigel' and describes Moo's early years in Brixton - where apparently he was involved in a different cult! The comment is as follows: "I came across Mooji in a curious manner, long ago. I'll explain.

Valma, I agree with you entirely!

Great point Corboy, I studied philosophy at a university, but there are other places that offer philosophy courses that may well be suspect! Be very careful.
