Hi there,

so this is my first post on the org. Finally.

After months on NPGMC it really feels great to read real human language. And most of all: It's good to see true friends (hey theblueangel!).

Will take some time to get used to the environment but it's worth it. It gets scary to visit NPGMC.

Wolf

welcome, sweetie !

Nice to have you here...I know what you mean with NPGMC.

You're very welcome to the Org!

The Org is probably just as scary as NPGMC, we just have our own brand of lunatic here. But they're OUR lunatics!

Anyway enjoy yourself, let me know if you have any problems with the site.

Hey Wolf.

Nice to have more animals roaming this site.
Have fun.

And tell me what you found scary about NPG. I have not joined, so I am curious.



Greets,
Jeremy.

like any other cult Gooey:

The group is focused on a living leader to whom members seem to display excessively zealous, unquestioning commitment.

The group is preoccupied with bringing in new members.

The group is preoccupied with making money.

Questioning, doubt, and dissent are discouraged or even punished.

Mind-numbing techniques (such as meditation, chanting, speaking in tongues, denunciation sessions, debilitating work routines) are used to suppress doubts about the group and its leader(s).

The leadership dictates sometimes in great detail how members should think, act, and feel (for example: members must get permission from leaders to date, change jobs, get married; leaders may prescribe what types of clothes to wear, where to live, how to discipline children, and so forth).

The group is elitist, claiming a special, exalted status for itself, its leader(s), and members (for example: the leader is considered the Messiah or an avatar; the group and/or the leader has a special mission to save humanity).

The group has a polarized us- versus-them mentality, which causes conflict with the wider society.

The group's leader is not accountable to any authorities (as are, for example, military commanders and ministers, priests, monks, and rabbis of mainstream denominations).

The group teaches or implies that its supposedly exalted ends justify means that members would have considered unethical before joining the group (for example: collecting money for bogus charities).

The leadership induces guilt feelings in members in order to control them.

Members' subservience to the group causes them to cut ties with family and friends, and to give up personal goals and activities that were of interest before joining the group.

Members are expected to devote inordinate amounts of time to the group.

Members are encouraged or required to live and/or socialize only with other group members
