Trolls like to spread misinformation to upset people. The goal is to disrupt the thread. The hysteria is likely feigned to just stir the pot. Ignore the posts as they will be deleted.

Bodhi68; You are here as an apologist to spin for Mooji. Your posts repeatedly demonstrate this fact.

NoWayNowhere How is Mooji accountable? Who is he accountable to within the organizational structure? Anyone? Is Mooji basically a dictator? Is there any meaningful financial transparency concerning the finances of the organization? Isn't the group already a destructive personality cult now?

NoWayNowhere: What changes do you think must be made? In your opinion what is Mooji doing wrong? If you don't answer these questions directly then we have another troll on this thread.

JDecosta: Much of what you say reads like "word salad" with no meaning. A destructive cult is a totalitarian operation with an absolute authoritarian leader without meaningful accountability. It's not about the "people" it's about the leader and what the leader does. See This is a definitive paper about cults by a psychiatrist that taught at Harvard.

Bodhi68: You do read like "a Mooji defender." Otherwise why are you here? Do you consider Mooji a destructive cult group? Why or Why not? What do you think is wrong with Mooji? What needs to be changed? What has Mooji done wrong that must be addressed and changed specifically? Please answer these questions directly and succinctly since these questions are the act

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

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.
