I'm sure it wasn't doing that earlier! lol, all is not lost. Does anyone else here use 'yahoo answers' to raise the profile of criticism of a cult? I know the 'anti-AA' people do.

I mean in connection with the specific groups these people are fanatically trying to 'spin'. I imagine it would be a tactic tried by Landmark and other groups too.
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

In an effort to suppress the very vocal and serious criticism of them, some cults seem to have got the threads about them on this site, which would rate at least in the top 20 or something on the google search engine, completely removed from it. It can't just be that it's sunk down the ratings as even searches for 'Rick Ross' or 'cult' plus the organisations'

QuoteRama Das (slave name) Of course David Icke is an easy target, but unfortunately the rest of his work, outside of reptillians (including reptillians, too, actually) is very thoroughly researched, sourced and elaborated on. No-one takes Icke seriously as a 'scholar' or researcher. He often quotes from one book alone the whole way through, or quotes from books which are to varying

The unnamed plaintiff seeks $193,000 in damages, but the lawsuit poses a much larger threat for Google in the form of precedent." It's not france 3 doing the sueing though is it? Is this true? :?

Zeuszor, it seems a bit random to go after the JCs bigtime when your only experience of them is to have met them briefly. Why them and not some other group? Not that all cults being exposed isn't good, but get your own life how you would like it first and foremost, rather than spending a lot of time on a group you've never really had much involvement with.

I have no doubt this woman has been abused, it certainly may have contributed to the many years she has spent in psychiatric care. Yes, she does have a psychiatrist. Not that that would be grounds to refute what a person says wholesale. I don't think she was in a Satanic cult or a victim of satanic abuse though. All research into SRA has proved it to be non-existent. This lady m

I like to think I am very supportive of other survivors and validate them.

Nothing like her organisation is discussed on any cult forums or in databases. It sounds like the type of high-level (her phrase) worldwide Satanic conspiracy which h
