In a ‘Tibetan Buddhist’ cult in Taipei, every time a member leaves or says something bad about the group, they are called ‘psychotic and disturbed’. Apparently everyone who stays is ‘sane’ and everyone who leaves is ‘crazy’. Every single one. Every time. No exceptions. All crazy.

I see this is a pattern among such…

I feel sorry for you that your definition of an “amazing” relationship is one in which you are perpetually a teenager. A quality man would want you to grow and develop, not babble vapidly like a high schooler. Because unless you die young, you’re not going to be hot forever.

“Sad, not-hot women.” Bwah ha ha. Count me among them.

I really hate to pile on but..you’re in a fucking cult. Good god. It’s textbook in every way.

International taught me that men like to help women and how to receive the help instead of get all awkward and shut it down how I use to. And International taught me how to tell a man how much I appreciate the help he offers me.

One thing International apparently hadn’t shared with his supporters is how to edit. Good grief.

I just want to point out that you started off by saying the women who say SSM is a cult are“fucking crazy” and then proceeded to write a 10 thousand word single paragraph incoherent ramble.

And it looked like she married the guy so he could get citizenship in the country or something and he probably was paying her for it.

Protip: paragraph breaks will make it seem a bit less like you’re in a cult.

Wow, this is totally a cult...

These harsh criticisms of ex-members don’t help your argument.

Stop for a second, breathe, and remember to use paragraphs.

Oh my god, there's more. Hold on I need to get a glass of wine for these comments.

I want to know why all the women in this group who have written here all sound like valley girls.

Hi Princess Superstar! I’m sorry you chose not to respond to my email requesting comment but happy to see you here!

Back in the very early 90s when I was an aspiring actress, I joined this group called the Actors Information Project which looked like something that would help kickstart my career and on the surface, it kind of did. But it didn’t take long to scratch beneath what seemed like a legit career coaching organization, to…

I would add too that in general it is a bad sign when you need to pay more money to advance through the levels of any spiritual organization.

If anyone’s curious, the website for “The Process” is saved on the Wayback Machine here. My favorite part is International Scherick’s logo:
