By A Mother In Ireland
Catherine Oxenberg’s book Captive arrived a couple of days ago. I’m about halfway through. Part of me can see how they got caught in this NXIVM deceit.
I was almost caught in a mess myself several times when I was in my 20s and 30s. The first was a neighbour who tried to recruit my husband and I into Amway. They wined and dined us in 1981.
I smelt it at 50 yards and that was the end of the matter – but not for him and his wife. A few years later they were bankrupt, divorced and homeless. They gave up everything for Amway.
The next lot I had to tackle were professional opera singers. I had trained for 12 years when I was young and I was encouraged to attend this husband and wife team who had performed all over the world from Glyndebourne to La Scala.
I knew as soon as I met them there was something edgy. They had three children – ages 9, 11 and 13. They roped me into to minding their children for 17 days. It turned into something from a Stephen King horror movie. I found out they were involved in a rebirthing cult. I confronted them when they came home and I hoofed it.
Two years later, Paul, the husband turned up at our door full of remorse. He spilled out a horror story. They ended up divorced. She went to Australia. They lost their house, lost their kids and he was dead at age 59. Very sad.
I had several things going in my favour. The first was an inquiring mind. The second, a wonderful, honest, normal, well-rounded, intelligent, clued in, deeply loving parents who were in business. I did manage to listen to them and learn from them. Without a doubt, that helped saved our bacon many times.

It’s amazing how someone else’s story can bring up old memories. These cults must be operating in every small town in America. We know Amway is, after the memory came back about my brothers involvement, I recalled a woman I worked with also was all in with her husband and grown children. I simply wasn’t interested nor did I have money to waste as a young mother and a bad economy. But I did buy products from Amway through her. Also my eldest daughter who is the last person I could imagine falling for bullshit went into a new vegan restaurant even though she wasn’t vegan and they talked her into trying one of those Scientology meters right there. I had no idea we had Scientology where we live. A town of 16,000. She said they talked about a church. I told her what they were and she was stunned, she had no interest either way but who knows what can happen. That is why I was shocked to see NARCONON mentioned in Artvoice last week as the best option for opioid treatment. Teresa Reile wrote the article she even mentions a Dr Carberry who runs AMI , WISE is mentioned , these are active Scientology Programs. Dr Michael Carberry and his Wife run these programs and through 2011 they were mentioned as active Scientologist on the internet, even though I couldn’t find them after that they would have to be members to be running a treatment program that belongs to Scientology and was created by L.Ron.Hubbard. I got no response from Teresa Reile as I am sure Artvoice would never endorse Scientologist run programs. I’ve seen footage of some ex members and their horrific experience going through this program,
What this tell us is we have to be vigilant to spot these posers, they are never going to tell you who and what they are and by the time your hooked it’s to late. How many desperate parents, family member or addicts might see that article and try Narconon not realizing they are a cult run treatment program.
We should talk about Amway. Click on my name and go to my twitter account and send a message so we can connect.
ALLISON MACK IN WONDERLAND.
On July 23, 2017 Allison Mack posted to her social media a quote from Lewis Carroll’s “Alice In Wonderland.”

allisonmack729…. and the trees grew from the sky…. “Alice laughed. ‘There’s no use trying,’ she said. ‘One can’t believe impossible things.’ I daresay you haven’t had much practice,’ said the Queen. ‘When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.” #lewiscarroll #nourishment #soulfood #imagination
joshuamneff Any Lewis Carroll quote of great way to begin or and the day. Thanks, Alice! I mean, Allison! 😉
Oddly enough Lewis Carroll and Allison Mack had the exact same hobby.
Taking pictures of naked females.
Lewis Carroll, born Charles Dundrige, took pictures of naked girls.
And Allison Mack likes to take pictures of naked women to blackmail them.
Some rebirthing information: https://culteducation.com/group/1115-rebirthing.html
By the way, Sue Myrick was mentioned in at least one of the stories. She’s a former Federal Representative from North Carolina who was strongly supported by some Amway upper level scam artists: https://www.google.com/search?q=sue+myrick+amway&oq=sue+myrick+amway&aqs=chrome..69i57.3169j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 If you don’t think Amway isn’t part of the deep state, you’re dead wrong.
Would like to know more about your Amway experience. Please tell us more details, thanks.
Scott, I am going to do some research among family and the couple who got my brother involved, to see what they remember. This all happened over 20 years ago. I will share what I find out. Amway was popular here for a time but like Nxivm they wanted attractive couples with money connection. Will keep you posted

You can’t compare NXIVM technology with Community if the King or Amway. That is BS. Our tech is transformative. Theirs was about insane religion and bullshit sales of crap. This should not have been published.
Pea:
The most disturbing pictures I have seen of your brave and heroic friend Allison are the pictures of her going to the movies with her nephews.
Allison looks like a loving Aunt.
But I know the back story and the letter the FBI has where Allison confesses to molesting her nephew.
Allison is no loving Aunt.
Allison Mack is the evil Wicked Witch of the West.
BTW Pea, Today is my birthday.
Wish me a Happy Birthday and sing my praises for the next ten days like you did with Vanguard.
Is she allowed near children? How do we know her confession wasn’t real?
Allison Mack’s confession would be disturbing whether real or fake.
If the confession were fake but still got in the hands of state child welfare officials a protocol would be set into motion.
The child and its siblings would be removed to a foster home while an investigation was conducted.
If the father of the child happens to be a school teacher,
he would be suspended from that job during an investigation.
Ms. Mack herself would be investigated.
Lots of bad consequences because Allison Mack does not recognize the difference between reality and fantasy.
Your the one who shouldn’t be published, we all overlook you BS name which should be enough to show your a joke. But since you keep on writing ridiculous stuff why not make an effort to at least look at the other side. What if your the one who is wrong ? Imagine a life free from NXIVM. What would that life look like? Just a thought in case your a real person.
It’s what it transformed you into that’s the problem.
Pea, an organization can have transformative techniques and still be a dangerous cult. A person or a group can espouse advanced ideas or ideals without being spiritually advanced themselves.
Yes, transformed into what? To be like Raniere?
Hmm…I see a consistent pattern to the ending of these type of people.
