They really talked about it like it was a scientific thing.
Like we've studied and researched and we figured out how to grow the person, how to be happy, which makes sense.
And I mean, like Nexium, just like a lot of other cults, isolated people and and put them through these intense
Sessions for hours and hours and hours, so you couldn't experience anything else or get any outside perspective.
They were extremely good at just taking you away from everything you knew and making sure that like this was the one thing that could change you.
It's extremely, extremely messed up.
And Josh Block, the journalist behind CBC's investigation into Nexium, pointed out that slow.
Flapping a patent on the method gave Rainier cover to wrap everything in the language of science and logic.
So for anyone who would have walked away from something that sounded spiritual or new age, that framing was the hook.
And cult expert Dr.
Steve Eichel said the targets aren't people who are more broken than the average person.
The recruits who were more susceptible are people who are.
in the middle of a life change, a job loss, a divorce, the birth of a child.
And in Eichel's view, joining a cult comes down to bad luck more than anything else, because those windows of vulnerability open for everyone sooner or later.
And that is something like that is so clear in every single cult we've covered.
They just prey on people who are in vulnerable parts of their lives.
Or young, naive parts of their lives and take complete advantage of that, and it's disgusting.
Now, Clark noted that Nexime addressed the skepticism head-on during the very first intensive, walking students through why the organization wasn't a cult, discussing the negative media coverage and dismissing the existing allegations about Rainier as too outlandish to even be real.
And she also said.
Said the approach only worked because of who it attracted.
