I don't disagree with that one bit. If they were manipulated, throw the book at these clowns.
If not, let them do what they enjoy. It's entirely possibly they went in willingly, grew jealous of another protege and blew the whistle, who knows?
Hopefully it will all come out in court and justice is served. I'm simply saying lets not be reactionary because some do not understand that lifestyle.
As long as they were of age I totally agree.

I won't shut up! Tell me why I should. If you disagree debate like an adult and tell me why you disagree. If it you wouldn't be behind a keyboard I can guarantee you, you wouldn't have the ballz to tell me to "shut up"!
Psychological manipulation is a type of social influence that aims to change the behavior or perception of others through abusive, deceptive, or underhanded tactics.[1] By advancing the interests of the manipulator, often at another's expense, such methods could be considered exploitative, abusive, devious, and deceptive.

There is a line between S+M, Sado masochism and B+D, Bondage and discipline is more ritualistic. Elaborate scenarios.
One can say S+M is more hard core than B+D.
People can get hurt with S+M, "safe words" are important.
This just sounds like a B+D group.
Now if they are making snuff films.....
lol. Whole nother level.

I know quite a bit about this "organization". The leader is a full on con-artist. Before starting this group, which started out as Executive Success Program (ESP) and then re-branded (pun intended) to NXIVM (pronounced nexium, like the medication), he was involved in a pyramid scheme marketing vitamins and health food. He actually had civil fines in the millions against him in many states.
This cult used all the tried and true tactics including targeting emotionally vulnerable people, using isolation, etc., etc.. One of my brothers got hooked in with them and went all in. He basically abandoned is kids and moved to upstate NY. He tried to get me and some of my other siblings involved but no one bought it. I don't know anything but what is in the press about the sex stuff but thankfully it seems as if Raniere was the only man involved in these accusations.

You must've missed the part about forced to be branded. Doesn't sound exactly willing to me.
