The Expansions Cult

[Etarnlia]

I will be looking at the sidelines for the coming weeks, I really think more is going to happen because of their managment issues at Expanions. The snowball began rolling a little time ago, and it is getting big.

They take their revenge on the people who do not blindly follow them, those who ask questions are taken off lists etc.

This is correct.  They have to demonize anyone who does not follow their agenda.  It is all part of how they control their followers.  You are either with them or against them.  That, is what is known as "control through fear." No different that organized religions really.

There is an unspoken ultimatum that exists, see a lot of their close followers do not have anyone else.  No real family or anyone in the area to lean on.  So the Swerdlows swoop in as their saviors, create a situation for their followers to become obedient to them, then if anyone goes against the grain, they are outcast and demonized.  It's the only way they can maintain control (through fear & guilt). 

That is just my personal observation and it is what I see as their personal truth.

[Etarnlia]

Absolutely Dr. Acula. And they lie ferociously about what people have done and said also, skew what happened to fit their agenda. They play the victim part, and if they followed their own work they would look in the mirror and think: "What within me is attracting this?". Instead they blame everybody else and act like a spoiled child with crocodile tears. I´m disgusted that people that age can behave in the same way 16 year old spoild teenage girls do.

Thank you, Octahedron.

As far as Yukesam's posting nothing new for you, he has posted things that I had no knowledge of previously, and therefore I am very interested in what he has to say.

It's my belief that he has been hurt very badly, and his honour has been severely damaged by his experience with Stewart/Janet. And that is no small thing in the Asian culture. IMHO, Yukesam needs a safe and supportive place to vent and to share. (My apologies to be speaking about you in the third person, Yukesam)

I don't think it's a good idea to challenge someone who is in pain and who needs to release thoughts/feelings/experiences. We can be of great service if we can allow ourselves to listen with empathy.

Even after someone has moved through the severe pain stage, I would still not try and challenge them. Gentle questions are much more effective in helping others find the path to their healing. And I find that when I can help another to do that, I have helped myself, as well.

For me, both Yukesam and IQHunk have valuable information to share, but it's my feeling that IQHunk must be careful not to pour fuel on a fire. It would be helpful if he could bring more sensitivity to the table. I value both of these members and I value this forum.

Thank you for prompting this discussion, Octahedron.

[Dr. Acula]

Totally. I have never seen grown adults act like they are in middle school. The fact that they even "claim" to be more spiritually evolved than other people shows me that the training wheels are still on their spiritual tricycles...

YOU CANNOT MEASURE ANYONE'S SPIRITUALITY!!!!

Spirituality cannot be measure in inches, feet or yards!  I may be knit picking here, but I have heard J say she is more spiritually evolved than other people...

What a crock!

[Etarnlia]

What really shocked me was the information I got from the alienated people, that the Swerdlows would shout and scream and be unable to have a decent discussion. That happened when people in their circle were still friends with those outside. They tried to pit them against each other.

I have heard J say she is more spiritually evolved than other people...

When a person feels they must say such a thing, usually the opposite is true.

[yukesam]

Yes, I also prefer the facts; but it seems guys like yukesam don't see any difference between "preferring facts" and "defending Expansions".

Hey buddy where have you been?

Octahedron~ You prefer facts I prefer facts.

So kindly elaborate the recent post from Expansions (Janet ) specially about YOU.

We all prefer facts Octahedron, and you need to defend your credibility here I think. And if you are the person that I always thought who you were as Janet confirmed in her post ( South Korean guy who contacted him " Octahedron "while looking for English teacher). Then we know eachother very well. As matter of the facts, you were the first one who applied as English teacher and we talked for hours and hours on the phone ( 100's dollars of phone bills) not to mention very special favor you did for me which got me trouble with police.

I am always ready to talk facts with you Octahedron.

Expansions.com went through a lot of clearing and reorganizing.  You’ve heard about some of the negatives, but there are also a lot of positives. 

 For example, I received personal confirmation from the guy in The Netherlands on my “Laugh Out Loud” post exonerating him from any involvement in any anti-Expansions.com activities. Apparently, he was set up by one of the South Korean guy who contacted him while looking for English Teachers.

Can anybody see this picture? :)

I had to delete your picture because you included a person that is no longer connected to expansions and this person doesn't want their name mentioned here.
