Margie, I really feel for you and what you are going through. Unfortunately your experience is not an isolated one. MKP is a very manipulative and conniving organization. They like to prey on men who are at their weakest, like what happened to your husband. Please understand that when men go to the NWTA they provide much personal information to the group (which they then turn around and

It seems that the ability of MKP to meet the 21 Criteria for Thought Reform has been called into question, so I would like to present a breakdown of how MKP meets each point. I know this information is all here in the threads, but it seems that some persons keep calling this into question and putting it in one summary post may help. (rrmod – I will understand if you don’t post this) 1. Almost

Sol37: What does MKP have to do with high school marching bands exactly? This is a typical form of rebuttal used by MKPers. Comparing MKP to other more 'mainstream' organizations as way of attempting to deflect or transfer the blame off of MKP. I have yet to hear reports of a high school marching band that requires their members to: submit personal items, strip naked and dan

Erin3246, What brought you to the Rick Ross site to read about MKP? I am curious if there were concerns that you have that led you here? If so, what concerns have you had with the organization? Are you planning to go through with the WI weekend, or have you any second thoughts after reading up on MKP?

Thank you, Witness, for your post. I’m glad you can see MKP for what I believe it is. This is the type of information that needs to be made available for other men to read if someone is trying to coerce them into going. Thank you for being “MAN” enough to make your post, and for offering your interpretation of the homosexual motivation behind MKP. Many ‘brothers’ are not “MAN” enough to be

Curious - if MKP is everything you make it out to be, and no brainwashing is taking place, WHY DO YOU THINK that your 'friend' (new recruit) was RESEARCHING MKP? How come your recruit didn't take you at face value? Do you think your recruit thinks that maybe there's more going on than what you are telling him? If you're a potential recruit reading this, please make s

Quite a way back in this thread you posted some of the music they play at the weekend. You said there were more, do you have them available to post? Thanks!

Yes, and remember, when the men sign the waiver and confidentiality documents they are not giving INFORMED CONSENT. I can't see those documents being legal. We all know these men did not know exactly what would be happening to them and the psycological methods they would be exposed to before hand (or I'd bet that a lot of them wouldn't have signed)

Before he got involved I thought we had a very open relationship. We discussed anything and everything. Now it seems I can't say anything without him trying to turn it into some big deal. Every little thing becomes an issue and he can never give me real answers about anything, just the vague crap. It makes if very hard to be supportive and positive. i don't know if I'll eve

IMO, the secretive nature of this organization is going to undermine any relationship. It's like my man can't even have a discussion anymore.

Oh, also... I emailed him some links showing pagan and wicca sites doing the same rituals. He didn't even comment on the pagan aspect!

I did share information with him. He agreed that they used LGAT techniques, but he's "not sure how it could be done any different"

Wow. When I ? my husband about why they had to be naked he said because that's just part of course. I asked why is that. Got a lot of non answere answers there. Other than from the informed opinion that the naked part is just to tear their old selves down and break them down, I just can't see any real reason. He told me it was because native indians were naked. humph!

My spouse was recruited and did the weekend recently. I'm not sure if we've lost him completely yet or not. 1. What are the immediate reactions we should be giving him? The family is afraid of confronting and pushing him back to his 'brothers' 2. Is there anything we can say or do to help him see what happened to him before he gets in deeper? He agrees that it wa

My bf was recruited and just did the NWTA. As soon as I got the information (which was after he went, of course, as we were all kept in the dark before hand) I knew right away if smelled like trouble, and then I found this site and other information.
