Oh my God. This man is unbearable. I got through this episode with so much difficulty
What in the world? Buddha did not talk about kundalini energy or that you should have sex to balance your chakras. Shut up boomer
You can tell everything you need to know about someone by the way they treat their mother...and you can just tell this woman is the type that probably has talked down to and looked down her nose at her mother since she was a spoiled little kid. Always thinking she was so much smarter and so much more enlightened than her simple mother when the truth has probably always been that her mother has always been and continues to be a far better human being than she will ever be. Even now she doesn't give her mother the respect of her undivided attention when they are together knowing full well how much that bothers her....That tantrum she talked about.....actually suggesting she was close to pushing her sick old mother down the stairs because she wouldnt leave her alone or whatever and almost seems to suggest that would have been understandable behavior.....No...thats sick behavior to even joke about and it didn't really seem like she was joking....and that behavior is not a result of any
I'm sorry but this woman is as phony as the day is long.... When he asks about if she should keep the money she made she has this dramatic long pause and then answers..."I don't know how to answer that"....which really means....i don't know how to say yes and still sound good but I don't want to publicly say no and then people will expect me not to keep it. I feel bad for some if what she allowed herself to go through but this is a woman who is not nearly as intelligent as she wants people to believe...she knows how to SOUND intelligent but from her own words...when she was initially recruited...it was just pathetic....she literally said every word the recruiter wanted her to say and responded to the recruiters questions word for word how the recruiter felt she was supposed to respond. I do feel bad for her.....but probably not for the reasons she wants everyone to feel bad for her. I wish the conversation at the bar with her friends would have been recorded...(though im not totally
This man does horrible comparisons
I just listened to the last episode! It was a fabulous podcast... but the ending? Sarah blowing her nose, going for an audition? I expected something a bit more thought provoking or just even a wrap up. Fascinating story! Loved it ...but I wish one interviewee was a psychiatrist who could explain how cult leaders do what they do but also the mentality of converts. Why can't they see the red signs? I know you briefly touched on it but not in much detail. so many questions left unanswered. please keep on doing Podcasts on cults with converts.
I don't understand the order that this is supposed to go in. It seems like they are numbered backwards.
after listening to this episode with Keith's attorney, I feel like I don't understand how these women could be so naive. there is no way if someone told me hey when you join this group not only will you be branded (I don't care if they knew it was keiths initials or not) but you would be someone's slave? wth? I mean, come on, they would have to more self respect than that, wouldn't they?
