Re: Mooji a cult?

I yam what i yam,

Thanks for sharing how some people may be duped into feeling that they got some kind of benefit from being in a cult. I'm no expert on cults, but I am learning more and more each day.

I guess if someone was suffering terribly with mental health issues that consumed their every waking moment, then they might somehow feel a bit better if they were brain-washed into believing that their problems didn't exist. Perhaps.

But the brain-washing would have to last for the rest of their lives for it to continue to be effective. So it kind of points to them spending more and more money on Moo products and Moo books and Moo retreats to maintain the effect.

As far as I am aware, it would be much more beneficial for these people to get effective, evidence-based medical and psychological treatment. The end aim of such treatment is to allow the person to regain independence and lead a productive life.

The end aim of brain-washing is to render a person helpless and compliant. I think there is a big difference in these two forms of "treatment". I know which one I would prefer and which treatment I would recommend.

If people genuinely prefer to be brain-washed, than to lead a normal, healthy life, then there isn't much I can do about it. My big concern is that in the case of the Moo Cult, they don't even know they are being brain-washed in the first place! So they don't get to make an informed choice.

It happened to me!! I was brain-washed by this cult!!

Ia m not happy about it, I am very upset about it. It has impacted my life and disrupted my ability to enjoy things I would normally enjoy.
