🙏 RIP to Mike Rinder; thank you Dr Hassan & Carol for speaking out and exposing these clear cult movements ‘around’ the law, to evade their societal obligations 💜💃⚖️ ☮️
Isn't it sad that so many millions of people will give trump their ears, minds, souls and bank accounts- but what they really need is available for free on this channel?
I always sit up when I see a podcast with the brilliant Carol Merchasin - brilliant as in a shining light. Thank you for sharing your interview with Carol so we can hear from her and to listen to her very valuable insights.
Great interview I enjoyed hearing from Carol and the intersection between Law and the Psychology of Cults Carol is a lovely Human being As are you Stephen Hugs
Great discussion. I love Steve Hassan's vision for his next project. And Carol's insights from the legal perspective are amazing. Here's to them both! Salud! State and federal law definitely has room for improvement. I'd love to see many of those improvements in the near future.
My experience is that someone can't really understand the victimhood unless they personally have the same or similar experience. I hope I am wrong. True that younger people are generally more vulnerable. Likely elderly people too are more vulnerable. My experience is that courts are likely to dismiss or hide quality medical psychological opinions. I don’t think they consider it important. I think it is very expensive to try to change that.
Not only that inner world of sexual acts ... in Tibetan Buddhism it tends that saying no to these "Lamas" is made to be unthinkable. Often the shocked people are the kind of service cooks, attendants some of whom are forced to perform sexual services. They came and said "you said no ..." ... and yes, there could be repurcussions though that depends on how valued you are to the community. Narcissists bribe, threaten etc alternating to get what they want and keep people. They won't threaten kicking you out if they badly need you though they may do it to the community publicly to make everyone think they are saying it to them.
26:13 the problem is, Dr. Hassen, that people will use the legal system to punish churches with whom they disagree. They can just say they didn’t receive the spiritual benefit that they were supposed to have gotten, and it will cost these legitimate churches and other places of worship a lot just to fend off the legal battles and get the case dismissed. How do we guard against it?
Everyone is or will be subjected to con jobs. Early in this video, they noted the common aspect of cults (whether religious, political, business organizations and so on) is the authoritarianism. The "leader" is, in terms of emotional and social interactions, is ALL powerful.
I just wonder if every religion has a cult part that abuses members. It is not usually in the religion itself but in the would be experts or leaders who use the religion to control others.

I'm still processing after being raped by a city lifeguard in 1973. I've paid a very high price in ramifications
Steve, please consider doing an episode on Shambhala Buddhism (one of Carol's cases).

I wonder that, too.
Gratitude to you lovely people doing this very important work!!!! ❤
In my personal opinion, I'm seeing a lot of cults popping up on RUclips!
