Naria Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Does anybody here have any experience with a family member or a friend joining a cult?!? My stupid friend has gotten involved with this Abraham Hicks crap and has left his wife and two kids. They are negative and interfering with his vibrations which is affecting him being able to effectively manifest his destiny ...or whatever. I am sorry and I really do not want to offend anyone's beliefs, but I have a hard time believing some woman who used to sell amway is channeling spirits fromanother demesion who call themselves abraham and imparting formally secret information held apart from the masses by the ruling classes....yadda yadda yadda...the hole thing lost me when you get to the anything and everything bad that happens to someone is their fault because they weren't thinking good thoughts, vibrating and mediatating right. Sorry but infants and toddlers and kids dont cause their own abuse. A two year old being raped by a grown man didn't draw this to themselves by not thinking happy happy thoughts, people who get mugged, assualted or oppressed by a dictator (hitler-jews, crap in darfur, bosina, chile, cambodia, etc---) didn't just have bad attitudes. The bad thing is Oprah is getting into as well. anyone have any experience with this? I have been doing alot of web surfing and am trying to complie some information to help my friend and give to her husband---although since it is negative I doubt he will read it. I am thinking she needs to get all the property and stuff out of his name quick before he goes on one of their cruises and starts handing over all his money. sorry for the typo's and words prolly spelled wrong but I am free form ranting and typing and just not gonna proof read right now. I AM SUPER MAD!
whichwayisup Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 All you can do is hope that your friend makes his way back to his family...And when that time comes, be loving and supportive. If you push him, he'll just run the opposite way.. I had a friend who got involved with a guy who was a jehovah witness and eventually she got sucked into his world and his belief system. Freaked me out as she was a strong believer of her own faith and a strong woman! Anyway, to make a long story short, she basically lost alot of friends, let alone distanced herself from her parents, family and co-workers. Let alone, she lost my friendship as everytime we'd talk, she tried to convert me and I pissed her off because I told her what I thought of the whole JW thing. She came around on her own, and realized that guy was a big jerk, so once they broke up, it was like the spell on her broke as well. Definately make sure his family is protected, even suggest her talking to a lawyer...

I AM SUPER MAD! I don't think pushing info on him is going to do any good, i'm sure this cult has covered this with him. What you need to do is make him think about his own actions, and what the future holds in the next 5 to 10 years for him. Be direct with him, try to show him the big picture and start doing things with him outside of this cult. When he starts to talk about the cult, just flat out tell him 'I do not wish to speak with you about the cult unless you are thinking about leaving it'. Repeat yourself everytime he tries to convince you how great it is. I don't know much about this cult, but anytime it breaks up a family like this, it's not good. Apparently he is looking for something that he is missing in his life, and is looking in the wrong area.
Author Naria Posted January 21, 2008 Author Posted January 21, 2008 what scares me the most is I can not think of one cult out there that doesn't abuse children...and from the bits and pieces I have been getting from this whole thing....their philosphy about sex, protecting, emotions, blame the victim....just too too scary. I am going to talk to my friends wife about a lawyer, protecting the kids, etc. maybe I have spent working too many years in child protective services and I now see red flags everywhere reguardless of the situations...but my spidey senses are tingling the more I read about these people and their beliefs. I just never thought anyone I knew could be so well dumb.
