To whom it may concern: Henry Jolicoeur behaves like an Internet troll. He seems to troll threads to feed his ego and berate people. It appears to be time to ban him from this message board due to complaints. Please message me if there any further problem.

I think more than anyone it was Catherine Oxenberg that brought NXIVM down through her very public crusade to save her daughter. NXIVM leaders held out as long as they could some have now entered guilty pleas rather than go to trial. To date three of NXIVM's top leaders have plead guilty to felonies that will probably do prison time. Only NXIVM leader Keith Raniere, heriress Clare B

No. I just think that your are making some fairly ridiculous statements and doing whatever you can to disrupt this thread. If no one is reading this thread why bother?

Prettyboy: Reading about the recovery of other cult members and studying research about cult recovery is very helpful. You realize that your group and problems are not unique and learn from the experiences of others who have made it through the recovery process. Books like "Snapping," "Cults in Our Midst" and my book "Cults Inside Out" are good resources that c

Let's not use this thread to promote some self-anointed guru guy commenting on YouTube. It's opinion, boring and not directly relevant to this thread, which is Mooji.

Prettyboy: Your post attempting to blame former members for being victims of a destructive authoritarian group is wrong and not factually based. Please don't use this board to post such opinions, which are against the rules you agreed to before posting here. No personal attacks.

GODHIMSELF: You are behaving like a troll trying to keep people from posting. Also you seem to want to dominate this tread.

GODHIMSELF:: I don't think anyone here really cares about Henry Jolicoeur videos. Speaking as someone who has experienced numerous legal threats and gone through protracted legal battles you are safe if you get the facts right and make it clear when you are expressing an opinion. For example, you can say "In my opinion," "It seems to me," or when you are not abso

Seems like there may be some trolls here. Apparently the Mooji group is concerned. This must mean that this thread makes them uncomfortable. IMO that's a great compliment to the people that have built this thread.

To whom it may concern: This thread is drawing attention and it seems some trolling. People posting here must stay within the rules. No victim blaming and shaming. No ad hominem personal attacks. And please stop the speculation about lawsuits. It's totally ridiculous and unwarranted. The Cult Education Institute has been sued five times. All five lawsuits ended in dismissa

Please try to be respectful. This thread is being trolled. Apparently Mooji people are concerned enough to do that. Not everyone that has left the group and is critical will agree on everything. The focus of this thread is -- Is Mooji a cult of personality? And what behavior within the group is negative and/or destructive? Are people being hurt. Please focus on the core subject not

Gwen: Momentus has a troubled history and is an LGAT (large group awareness training). See This book has two chapters specifically about LGATs like Momentus, which can help you to sort through the issues. It is carefully researched with extensive footnotes and bibliography.

To whom it may concern, If you have an opinion state -- In my opinion. If you are not absolutely sure about a detail you can say -- it appears to me, apparently, it seems to me, etc. These are important distinctions. Specifically qualifying what you say in this way makes it very difficult, even for a litigious group, to have any meaningful basis to make a claim regarding defamation.
