Yes, that is what I was getting at.
Abuse can break people down and mentally weaken them.
People who don’t believe in God or have been programmed by tv and magazines and newspapers are probably easier to victimize.
The program is probably junk in slick packaging just like tv. :)
I am also referring to people who walked in freely to participate in the self help programs.
I don’t mean to say such people are flat out stupid.
I meant they are simply more malleable and easily led.
They might just be too trusting in what they believe to be the good intentions of others.
I didn’t mean to blame the victim or anything like that.
But honestly, wouldn’t people have to be somewhat weak in their own sense of self or in their mind to be led so far into something like that?
It doesn’t mean they are bad people or people with no value.
They are just weak for some reason.
Or maybe some of them-like women who held people down to receive branding-might enjoy having power over and exploiting others like a psychopath does. Those would be bad people. People who procured new victims for Mr. Keith to play with.
Whether or not a person is blackmailed, doesn’t there come a time when they should be saying it stops now-this is wrong?
If a person can’t or won’t do that they are either weak or evil. Sometimes weakness itself can be evil.
I used to be easily victimized. I had some pretty bad upbringing experiences, and other abuse including beatings later on.
It took me a few decades to not be easily victimized.
There are many different kinds of people who are easily victimized; my conditioning was not scam organizations, but predatory deceitful people.
No doubt some of the people who got involved in NXIVM via the “self help” crap were victimized; some who got involved were obviously pure evil. And once victimized, some join up with the predators; example is people who were abused by pedophiles especially homosexuals, often do the same when they are older.
