I have always had difficulty understanding what Restless is getting at. I originally asked him if he was an apologist for the Raelians or a member and he claimed not. I think he/she may be young and unable to explain what he/she is thinking in writing. I do agree that the many of his/her postings seems scattershot. I don't know if Restless has posted on other threads at RR or if this is

The Anticult, you are so right about the Raelian "symbol". I find it offensive as well using the Nazi swastika. What does Rael claim? That it is the symbol of peace for India folklore so its not related to the Nazi symbol? I had a relative killed by the Nazi's. He was a Lt. in the Polish army and after surrendering after the blitzkreig, he and other captives were methodicall

restless, I am having difficulty understanding your defense (for lack of a better word) of the Raelians. You seem to demand proof that they didn't build space embassies and that they didn't clone. You have your demands backwards. You should be demanding of Raelians for proof that they have built space embassies and they have cloned humans, not proof from the members here that the

Actually, it looks like these are videos done by PSI seminars themselves as an on-line recruitment campaign! My one question to these folks (and I have watched some of the other videos from YouTube) is "Where's the beef?" What did you learn? What are these "tools"? Why aren't PSI-clones ruling the world, or Wall Street? Why are they instead clogging the emergenc

The Anticult, once again (and always) you blow me away. I have been subjected to the crap of several cults and cult-like movements, but you are like the Professor of Cults 401. Unbelievable (in a good way). I don't know what you do for a living, but if you were a deprogramer it would make sense. Thanks for all you do here on Rick Ross' sites. You are a vast treasure.

This thread and others on the damaging and shady PSI Seminars needs to be spread elsewhere as advance warning to possible victims (i.e. attendees).

The best way to defeat the "PSI-clones" is to keep threads like this active so others, doing a search online, may stumble over them and be forewarned.

FREETED, I must say you have raised some interesting points about cryonics. I think after reading this thread I now believe that if cryonics is not a true cult, it is cult-like in a new-age way. There are certain aspects of religion about it as pointed out by The Anticult. "Mummification" for the "afterlife" not to mention the old "science will resurrect your body some

Advancedathiest: I am suggesting that an untried science like cryonics has the great requirement of offering proof of its success. Skeptics need not offer proof against cryonics. Why? "Extraordinary claims (cryonics for example) requires extraordinary evidence". You are a strong supporter of cryonics. This is not a religion (although The Anticult may disagree) so just "havi

Sadly. I must agree with you, The Anticult.
