Come on Jungle Man, no need to get paranoid. I thought the same as Rob until I read your links.
A quote:
"What it boils down to," says Rick Ross, head of the Rick A. Ross Institute of New Jersey, which studies cults, groups and movements, "is that they are doing group therapy, although they won't admit to that, and they are not qualified to do group therapy. They are not licensed and they are not accountable."
They're skating on the edge of the law. Is it illegal? Depends how far they push it. Same tactics as the Scientologists. They're not illegal either, but they've ruined lots of lives. People can do what they want as long as it stays legal, but on the other hand people should be warned about these predatory tactics. I don't intend to drive anyone off the island, but buyer beware. If you're approached, know it's a cult using well-honed psychological tricks to separate you from your money.
