David said, "When RSE ?students? become so convinced that ?Ramtha" knows best?
even to the point of ignoring the cries of a child in an abusive environment.,
Then the ?drinking the ?Kool-Aid"..! is neither so farfetched nor unlikely. "
This comment from David was taken from the thread titled, "The Tank".
I was going to respond and decided that this is so timely a comment that it deserves a thread of its own.
Some of the current RSE staff had publicly decried Glen Cunningham's videotaped interview, saying such awful things about the students such as his belief they are so far gone that they would drink the kool-aid. Yet, what David posted (above) is as he said, exactly the type of mindset whereby one can see HOW students would drink the kool-aid. They of course, think they are far too sophisticated and evolved to ever do such a thing. It begs the question of, "How vulnerable to drinking the kool-aid do you think the Jim Jone's cultists were?" Probably, they thought they were as invincible as the RSE "MASTERS". But, they're not. Let's hope we never, ever see that tragedy. God forbid, if we do hear of it happening, we'll at least understand why.
Hopefully, it will be stopped in time if it goes that way.
Glen didn't say it to be mean spirited; he's WORRIED. Just like the rest of us.
I've posted before, at an event not that many years ago, I had a person turn to me and bark in my face, finger wagging, that anything her teacher told her to do, she would march on it.
Exactly my point. Those are the ones who would be first in line to guzzle. God knows they've had plenty of practice doing that, with wine.
