James Ray arrested? Now THAT'S harmonic. I'm really glad they set the bail so high. He's a flight risk and he needs to rot in jail. I wish it had been 2nd degree murder, because then if they bargained it down it would become manslaughter. Still, I'm pleased there might be justice for the families of the deceased and injured, and maybe these events will shine a light int

The video is EXCELLENT. Very revealing. I wish more stations, and US stations, would do reports like this. Kiyosaki, like Wayne Dyer, had PBS special a few years ago. I simply do not understand why PBS keeps promoting this dangerous drivel.

QuoteOerlikon Christa: please remind us as to what the LMT is? The LMT was the Lisa McPherson Trust. It was so named because Bennetta Slaughter, Lisa McPherson's Scientologist boss and the person many believe was most responsible for Lisa's death (albeit indirectly), discovered an anti-Sci foundation was about to be opened and named after Lisa, and rushed out to register every Lisa

I really appreciate everyone who posts info in this thread, and Oerlikon for starting it and keeping it up. There's a lot going on these days. Scientology is the granddaddy of all American cults, and if you study how it works, you can understand how all of these cults and LGATs work. The LMT has a fascinating history. Scientology knocked themselves out to close it down, which they did

Everyone, the New Age Frauds and Plastic Shamans Site has had its account suspended. This site has been very important in the Death Ray murder lodge saga, and in the fight against all shady white people who steal, corrupt, and market Native peoples' sacred ceremonies.

Here's a link to a superb article about malignant narcissism. It's long, but worth it. The main subject is L.Ron Hubbard, and there's a lot of discussion of Joseph Smith and others of that ilk.

I really highly recommend counseling with a counselor who has special training and experience in dealing with people recovering from cultic relationships. Since there are very few of those, a counselor with extensive experience dealing with battered spouses is a good second choice, because many of the dynamics are the same. I did not recover until I did intensive counseling with a psychologist
