pegasus, thanks for sharing. I had a friend who was on the outskirts of the cult (he was friendly with many members and participated in some marathonesque swims in off NYC.) Did you also participate in "acts of heroic feats" to impress "Guru"? I am sure you have already poured over all the info pertaining to Sri Chinmoy on this site. See here: Hopefully other e

While I may feel for Assange, is this a proper subject for this forum? Clearly, this is an approved posting. I am at a lost as why... but accept the posting. I image that Wiki-Leaks is somehow a Cult-Linked thing that I do not understand how as it seems polticial which is anti0the rules of this site. I want to see why Wiki-Links is "cult"/"abusive religion/belief" system

I believe "Readthebook" is already 100% hooked in. That is why he/she is no longer posting here. He/she dropped some defense of Rathbun into the discussion and then ran away like a troll.

"...he just said it was to help spread awareness and that it would come back to him." This sounds like classic "Seed Money" pushed by the most vile of the christian preachers: "Give some money and God will give it back to you 3 fold". This is clearly a cult.

JaimeJC, hope your friend(?) finds her way out of this abusive church. As you can see from the Rick Ross archives, this is well documented here by Mr. Ross (once more please see here: ) H. W.

Is this the church that Armstrong once ran? He is/was an "end-times" preacher (i.e., The second coming is on the verge of happening). Here is a link (in French for you) to the potential church your friend may be a member of. (If French is not your native tongue or if you are an ex-pat living there, you can change the language at the top-right drop down menu). Here is some in

The exact information that Trent posted online was the exact information that Scientology used to try to discredit Rick Ross. It was shown to be false in court by Ross. I doubt that Scientology HANDED Trumpeters the information, but they most likely found it online. It is false. They were deceived. Scientology is satanic. Therefore, the Trumpeters were deceived by Satan.
Forum: Recovery from Destructive Cults and Groups

Trent wished to use false information about Rick Ross that he found courtesy of Scientology. The Scientologists (who are rabid atheists and believe Christians are idiots confused by brain-washing from 'Body Thetons') provided the information that Trent and the Trumpeters took and ran with. I guess Satan deceived The Trumpet Call of God. Funny how Satan could NOT deceive Christ w

Hilarious! These attacks are all lies and have been proven false. My favorite thing are all of Trent's spelling mistakes (excuse me, Missteaks).

Atehequa, welcome. I think from what I have gleened from Rick Ross Institute, that many of these LGATs (Large Group Awareness Training/Mass Marathon training) and even wiccans is that they have basically STOLEN much of the First Nations People's traditions.

I think The Anticult and shakti have the right idea on this web link. It appears that the site owner Korben Dallas (male, age 42 located in New York, N.Y.), may be new to this game.
