To whom it may concern:
This thread is drawing attention and it seems some trolling.
People posting here must stay within the rules.
No victim blaming and shaming.
No ad hominem personal attacks.
And please stop the speculation about lawsuits. It's totally ridiculous and unwarranted.
The Cult Education Institute has been sued five times. All five lawsuits ended in dismissal and none ever went to trial. That is, the plaintiffs all lost.
One plaintiff (NXIVM Keith Reniere) is now in jail awaiting criminal trial.
Another plaintiff (Gentle Wind Project) had their organization shut down by a state (Maine) attorney general.
Yet another (Church of Immortal Consciousness) had to pay costs, which drove them close to bankruptcy.
One plaintiff (Landmark Education) specifically wanted to know the identities of people posting on this message board. A federal judge blocked such discovery, but ruled the plaintiff's discovery would not be sealed. The plaintiff decided to dismiss their own lawsuit.
Please understand that this message board is and has always been for more than a decade a safe place to discuss controversial groups, movements and leaders.
