What kind of cult is this - if it is a cult? Or is it an LGAT? Are there any known individuals involved in other cults / LGATs? The Osho brigade (aka the Rajneesh Orange sex-cult) also have an involvement in this stuff. For me the jargon-laden clap-trap below is an indication of a cult-like status.

Excellent book. Blows open a whole barrel of subversive techniques used by LGATs and Cults. It is horrifying to read of the author's experiences from those who purport to be at one with the spritual and personal development of their vulnerable punters. Rocks through cars windows, death threats, etc., all bring the whole LGAT / Cult industry into disrepute. Those heading and leading these des

Thank you for that long post. Obviously your feelings run deep. I am concerned that no-one in HAI has seen fit to support YOU in your problems with your husband.
