DAM I Feel Sorry For Her! Thanks Mel Robbins Show For Showing Us We Are Not Going Crazy People Are Crazy Parents Whoever N Can Scar U For Life! Hope Y'all Could Help Her Mentally And Get On Her Feet She's Jacked Up Mentally! I'm that way
I left the religion that comes knocking on your door. They would argue they are not a cult. You are told not to have friends outside of their religion. Higher education is discouraged. You are to be submissive to their leaders. As a female you are to be submissive to your husband, no matter how you are treated. Anything you disagree with better be kept to yourself because to be labeled ‘an apostate’ is the gravest of all sins. What happens when you leave. You are shunned. They will even come after you to officially disfellowship (Ex communicate) you, so the shunning is mandatory. That means your family too. Bravo to the 2 women on your show. It takes courage to leave a high control group.
Theres so many people out there with bad intentions…so shes going to have to be veeeeery careful. Just like she left the cult and ended up in an abusive relationship. Blessings to her I wish her all the protection from evil.
What her mother was doing to her is called "gaslighting." Gaslighting is when you deny the reality of what's happening or has happened to gain control over the victim and make the victim feel as though they are imagining things so that you can continue on with the manipulation over them. Every narcissist, sociopath, and psychopath does this! And just seeing the crazy tattoo on her mother's forehead and face covering is enough for me to know this girl is telling the truth about the cult she grew up in. Don't worry Voodoo, we believe you!!
What an episode, I so adore Vudo..Scientology is a bitch. Whom ever falls for that B.S. has to be weak.. Why is the biggest cult still standing?? Kudos to the young lady who was strong enough to get out and tell her story..
2nd lady: free course on day 1 @ the Scientology center 😅ok. Talk to you there, day 2 another course 🤨 day 3 up to 1 week of courses for free with a benefactor to pay for it😣, girl, no internal alarm bells went off?! They told you that you were a perfect for because they tested and saw you had low ability to detect danger and were too trusting- good criteria for them. So sorry that happened but good you got away.
WOW…This one was hard to digest. I'd love to believe that there us more good than evil, however…I do know better. Just a hard pill to swallow. Thank you ALL for such an amazing show/education. 💖💖💖💖💖
The one thing I encourage others, especially women is to find your voice. Oftentimes, we are surrounded by domineering people at an early age, even family members, who condition our minds and break down our will. Sometimes it is better to take your licks trying to escape than to live in the danger of an environment where there is no end.
Jehovah's Witnesses are equally a cult and do many similar things to their members like Scientology. It'd be great if you did a segment or show on them from the growing activism base in the exJW community to expose the truth of what's going on! Lookup The John Cedars Channel, ExJWCriticalThinkers, Stoptheshunning, and Leah Remini did a special on JWs too (many others out there on youtube as well!) Rampant sex abuse cover ups and its harming alot of people!
Sounds a bit like my dad's nursing home. I made to many complaints about the place. Instead of government authorities coming to help us, they came after us. They issued me 2 back to back No Tresspasses to take us away from each other. That this point they really started working on my frail, weak volnerable dad. They isolated him, made fun and mocked him, physically abused him (rough handling), isolated him and allowed him NO VISITORS (turning them away at front door of the building), they drugged my dad with brain damaging drugs (psychotropic s),…. What they did to my dad….. They broke his will, his spirit…. I heard from someone who worked there that she said she saw my dad trying to stick forks and anything he could find into wall outlets…. He did not have "Alzheimer's!," … He was driven to his death by this evil sadistic nursing home, that was staffed by Narcissists and Psychopaths. With my two back to back No Tresspasses…. I was not able to go in and see my dad as he lay dying….. I feel, in putting my dad in that place of "Hell, like One Flew Over The Cookoo's Nest," as he described it to me one day on the phone through sobs…. I have such a hard time with this…. The amount of evil in this "facility" is almost incomprehensible!!!! It's such a long story, but ….if you've ever heard people talk about an "awakening" experience…. this was it for me!!! Our story is such a long story of government corruption, fraud, abuse, the hidden military systems, …. Basically, I found God, and Jesus. For someone who knew very little of what the illness of Narcissism Sociopaths and Psychopaths,….. I had a steep learning curve!!!! The Director of Nurses is x military, and tight with our local police….. This place, with it's 5star rating, and USNews enforcement….. was a place of HELL!!!! I can't say that bringing my complaints to Government agencies was the wrong thing to do, because at that time I was naive (brainwashed by the US government), I just wished I would have figured out something different for my dad than our corrupt US Health CARE system. Taking care of my dad at home was not an option…. as I have a psychopath brother who was setting me up all the time with lies to be arrested…. Good people, need to start seeing the truth of this world, and act accordingly. Our Government is NOT here to help you. Im, by no means saying go out and cause trouble….. I'm just saying…. Educate yourself, go out in the community of people and do something very old fashioned…. TALK TO PEOPLE (in person, off the phone), have a conversation at your table over coffee or tea…. There is so much to learn of what truly is going on with people. Putting your head in the sand will not help you. NO ONE is immune from the works of Satan…. United we stand, divided we fall. My best of health, long happy life to all of you.🙏❤️📖
Psychopaths Sociopaths Narcissists are taking over in everyway. These evil things have been with us for the beginning of time. They're all over in the Bible. At the very least, all God's people should learn the template, tactics that the evil ones use. They all seem to uses much of the same tactics. Lie, manipulate, stalk, smear campaign, isolate, threaten, intimidate, bully, ambush, set you up, public humiliation, triangulate, etc. etc. etc. These evil ones are so dangerous if you have them in your life,…. They can cause you great deals of stress to the point you develop cancer, your mental health is compromised (PTSD, always getting sick, weakening immune system, etc)… Things can get so bad that you can wish to kill yourself (as the Psychopaths like to drive you to do that), or they may kill you themselves. The point is,…. these people are so evil, they enjoy THE FEED off other peoples pain and suffering.
dear vudu keep shining your light!!!! one day (hopefully) your mom will stop “gaslighting “ and realize she nor your stepdad had more issues with themselves and open up their eyes to get the help they need
We fall for it because everyone wants to be loved and needed. Be weary of anyone who pays attention to you out of the blue or seemingly for no reason. The reason Scientology, for example, is so effective is because they offer “courses” that allow people to come to them. When we’re the one initiating the contact, our guard is down. Either way, it’s not a flaw within us. It’s strong predatory behaviour in them. The best thing we can do is focus on ourselves to grow our character and become strong so that we have a good sense of our own selves so that no one else can imprint on us. Great show!
Vudu, you are a beautiful girl & a brave soul to come forward with your painful past. You spoke from the heart, & I hope things just keep getting better for you. I am so sorry for the pain you have been through. Religious nuts are the worst. They should have a meetup group for recovering from cults. It would need to be a online one since it is so spread out with few in between. I think alot more people would be coming out with their horror stories, if a meetup like this was available and known about.
My heart goes out to you Vudu.. Unfortunately just like a narcissist person, they will never ever acknowledge what they've done. It's best to leave and heal… we believe you and what happened to you.
Thank you for putting this full episode Mel! Cults are very very common… just like dealing with a narcissistic personality once you're in one cult, you're susceptible to join another cult. Every cult is destructive, even if they seem docile. Don't be fooled… ruuuuun!!!
I'm 48 and to this day my mom and step dad never dod anything wrong I have no relationship with my mom cause she lives in denial ville get ur own closyre.do.t wait for them.cause it may never come
Freemasons , children of the eastern star and knights templar are perfect examples. Please put the spot light on these sociopaths / narcissists / murderers / liars / thieves / energy vampires.
There is no god there is just good people and there is these people mentioned above.
I am glad i can read energy and now understand where it comes from.

The 2nd lady has to be careful. Eventhough she learned a lot about Scientology, they are a huge force and very powerful.

The hebrew israelites are a cult as well!!!!

Islam is also a cult.

This cult should be disassembled at once!!! Where is our government to do so??? 🤔 Oh, I know, they're a cult as well.

Scientology is a cult. Period. No if, ands or buts about it.
We fall for it because everyone wants to be loved and needed. Be weary of anyone who pays attention to you out of the blue or seemingly for no reason. The reason Scientology, for example, is so effective is because they offer “courses” that allow people to come to them. When we’re the one initiating the contact, our guard is down.

Thanks for the heads up about Scientology. Anything to keep drama out of my life is appreciated. I hope you don't have any more trouble from them.
Vudu, you are a beautiful girl & a brave soul to come forward with your painful past. You spoke from the heart, & I hope things just keep getting better for you. I am so sorry for the pain you have been through. Religious nuts are the worst. They should have a meetup group for recovering from cults.

People who are cult leaders never admit that they have a cult.
My heart goes out to you Vudu..
Unfortunately just like a narcissist person, they will never ever acknowledge what they've done. It's best to leave and heal… we believe you and what happened to you.
Thank you for putting this full episode Mel!
