You know "dano" most of the people at Jonestown were pretty decent folks too. But a few extremists caused all of that misery. And how about those few "hardcore" Branch Davidians who gave the rest a bad rap. You see Planodan when you give total control without question to ANY group or person and give up your free will, its a bad deal. And I have found that most of the Discover

suspect- I would also like to know if you still listen to your CDs or use the key phrases like "I aknowledge your position" or "My experience of you is" from the group. this is just a way of ignoring other peoples feelings and selfishly persuing your own "Joy." I'm sure you realize that the fabricated emotions that were planted in you and your husband are trigge

Suspect- sounds like you have the makings of a pretty good book. I'll look for it in the FICTION section. I won't waste my time responding to each of your BS issues, but there is one thing that really disturbs me. You state in your post that not EVERY person who attends Discovery goes away brainwashed. My questions is this.... How many wives, mothers, fathers, husbands, sons, daughters

otts- A single text message is one thing, but when a LADY asks you to send no more messages and goes through the trouble to have yours and your groups names removed from her email(and you have been told this) any further contact constitutes harrasment. Wrap your warped mind around this- If i follow you and harras you every day for two weeks and finally one day i walk up to you and say "hows

The tax exempt status that you speak of doesnt take into account the very high salaries af the folks at the top of the pyramid. Discovery makes over 150 K per weekend and THERE IS NOT ONE SINGLE LISCENSED PSYCOLOGIST, PSYCHIATRIST, OR ANYTHING CLOSE IN THE WHOLE BUILDING. It is dangerous and cruel to tear open these peoples minds and basically hope for good results and that no one freaks out and

Yes, there are issues with her childhood. I'm sure you catch my drift. Even though she shared the most intamate details of our life, Im not trying to air hers or my dirty laundry. I think to be "sponsored" you have to have a certain level of vuenarability. I dont think i qualified. I'm actually a Labor Rep so i have used some of the less invasive tactics myself on Management w

EC- thanks for the reply. I have so many questions. I have recearched the tactics and where they came from. But I am lcking in real world experiance with trauma like this. How long has it been since your wife's first "class?" How many times did she go? I can see that ist goingto be a slow process for her to get past this. I feel your pain on the mood swings. I caught her listenin

It seems that we are not alone. I think there is going to end up being a 60 minutes or Dateline story on this crap. Educate yourselves, and your loved ones. I am a D! spouse for a week now, but I could tell from the start something wasnt right. As anyone fighting these people. I have a reporter at the local paper who I feed a story to now and then. I'll be calling him! This is the some game

My wife has attended this Discovery verbal and emontinal abuse class. After a week of reasoning with her and showing her posts from this site, she has agreed to backaway from them for a bit. I dont think she fully understands what they did to her, but she is at least asking some questions. Sombody help! should I leave her alone, should I keep printing posts for her?
