JanetD, No one is "hostile" here, just a bit tired of Mooji devotees trolling this thread.
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

JanetD: Is there any meaningful accountability for Mooji or is he essentially an autocratic authoritarian leader without any meaningful accountability? And please answer the question -- why are you here? There have been a number of Mooji devotees that have attempted to disrupt this thread. It seems like Mooji is upset about this thread and sending his followers to post here in an effort

JanetD: Why are you here posting on this thread? What knowledge do you have of how Mooji is held accountable through an elected board, independent financial audit, etc.? Are you specifically aware of any meaningful accountability he has as a leader? Are you just here to defend Mooji?

Athos, Got it. You are not here to learn anything, but rather as an apologist focused on discrediting critics of Mooji.
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

Athos, Why so condescending? As you point out you did not attend as many retreats, which would seem to put you in the position of knowing less. Is it possible you don't know what you don't know and you don't know that you don't know it? Maybe it's too bad that you didn't learn anything? Maybe you wasted your money and Mooji took you for a ride? Woul

Hi Wombat, What is your affiliation with Mooji? How do you come by your information?

JDecosta: You are right these are "different times" that require different steps taken to insure integrity and prevent abuse. When people like Mooji run a large enterprise that has substantial cash flow, but is supposedly for a spiritual nonprofit purpose, there must be meaningful financial transparency and accountability. Otherwise it becomes a cash cow for the guru to milk for h

Russian Fatima appears to be here to subvert the thread and harass people posting here. That's trolling. Trolls will be banned.

I will be deleting not editing troll posts. No more edits as it's apparently a waste of time.
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

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.

Posts can be deleted and edited. Information can be added and a warning by moderators within an existing post. There is major trolling activity on this thread.

All troll posts will be deleted.

Bodhi68; You are here as an apologist to spin for Mooji. Your posts repeatedly demonstrate this fact.
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

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?

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
