I have asked this question myself. Now take the fee for NWTA, around $675.00 per person, then all the other courses available, multiply that by approx. 35,000 men (that is MKP estimates). Now you truly get an idea how much money is pouring into this organization.

Efoss17, what you posted is eerily similar to another post. Go to the "Large Group Awareness Training", search for a thread about MKP. It has many pages of posts. Go to the very last page and read a post written by "Ginah". It is about her husband Not knowing your age or your relationship with your father pre-MKP, it is hard to know what you should do.

Ginah, I am so sorry. I am almost glad my husband had that "sexual" episode that happened at NWTA. Had that not happened, I fear I would be experiencing those same things. He did attend graduation, but has never gone back. I sometimes see a little piece of what you speak of. Since his weekend, once or twice he has angrily spoke of his "manhood" will not allow this or that.

The Wizard, your post is very informative. I have read similar versions of this from other postings here, and other forums. Ironic, how MKP preaches integrity, yet the man who recruited you lied to you to get you to go. That is very common, from what I have read. I am not sure how one can have integrity without honesty, but MKP seems to be able to. I am going to print this out. I have print

jr144, you need to stay out of the sweat lodges. I think too much of this activity has fried your brain. If I read your posts correctly, and that is hard to do with the ramblings, you have drifted from group to group. If that is the case, maybe you need to stop looking for a group to fulfull you, and tell you how you should feel. Just try standing on your own 2 feet, w/o any group, and see if

Could someone give me their opinion, or feedback on my previous post? He came home last nite from his AA meeting really angry at us. Said someone told him they could not believe we would not pay for him to go to NWTA. He believes if he goes, he can stop all therapy, and all meds. He was told by several men it will change his life completely, and he will not need that "stuff" anymore.

The topic of 12 step groups is very appropriate for me right now. You know, my husband was recruited out of a 12 step group. Thankfully, because of what happened on his NWTA weekend, he did not continue with MKP. We have a 19 y/o son who got involved with drugs 2 years ago. Been to rehab and all that. He also has many emotional problems, takes a lot of meds, has been suicidal in the past. He s

My husband's sponsor also kept on insisting he go to NWTA. My husband chose to not stay involved with MKP for reasons's I have previously posted. There was an unwelcome happening on his weekend that made him come to this decision. His sponsor continually harasses him to get involved with Igroup and to staff a weekend. My husband also had a lot of respect for this man. Finally my husb

Twillia, read your first post. You mentioned what happened in the sweat hut, then you said "False". That to me is the same as calling me a liar. I don't care how many men you spoke with, it happened. Lucky for our marriage, my husband was going to continue with MKP and the Igroup. That one incident completely turned him off. I never said you have to carpool. I would guess you we

Twillia, I am the woman that wrote that. And no, it is not false. Do you really think you know what goes on at every NWTA weekend? No, you do not. You are so healed and nonjudgemental, yet you call someone else a liar? Yeah, you are one hell of a man with integrity. You need to work on your judgemental shadows. And of course, they did not lie to you about why you had to carpool, did they.

MK as a company probably has enabled more women to make upper level incomes than any other company I know of. In the 80's, I sold MK. Just wasn't my thing. They did buy back my complete inventory. No questions asked. However, if they do buy back your products, you can never again sell MK. The sales training I received helped me to enter the sales force of a large company. This was a 9-

I think the only true goal they have is money. This entire organization brings in a lot of money. It goes somewhere. This is why I equate MKP to Landmark, Lifespring, Scientology, etc. They all speak of the good they can bring to a person, after that person pays a lot of money. Since you brought up pedophile priests, I am not Catholic, but I do blame the Church for much of what has happened. T

After my husband's weekend, he was bombarded with calls. He told each one he did not want to attend I-group. He was questioned as to why. He must have received 5-6 calls in a 3 day time span. He finally told the last caller he did not want to receive any more calls, period. If and when he felt he wanted to attend more meetings, he would call them. They did finally respect his wishes. He r

I agree with you. That is one of the major reasons I have a problem with MKP. They have plain untrained people doing some very serious therapeutical work, regression, etc. This can and has resulted in serious consequences, even death.

I personally have a big problem with MKP pulling personal property records to determine who has the most money, so they know how much to hit them up for donations. I know for a fact this is done.
