CULT VICTIM OF ISKCON SPEAKS OUT...
"I was in various ashrams in ISKCON for a few years, and I have found that present day ISKCON is not like the ISKCON Srila Prabhupada left us with and today's ISKCON is maybe even dangerous to some of us. I was in one particular ashram for two years and they tried to segregate me from seeing any of my family and treated me like a work horse, wouldn't give me enough sleep, would always criticize me and made me feel worthless.
They hardly ever complimented me in the end or thanked me, then I literally had a metal breakdown and they kicked me out from the ashram…"

VICTIM REPORT ABOUT NICOLE GRACE AND LIKE SWANS
WARNING: WE RECEIVED A REPORT ABOUT NICOLE GRACE- A STUDENT OF ALLEGED CULT LEADER AND SEXUAL ABUSER FREDERICK LENZ.
According to this victim, Nicole Grace (and Scott Wilson) have created their own group that appears to be following in the same destructive footsteps as Lenz.
NAME OF GROUP: LIKE SWANS
A.K.A. "Satori Sciences, "Mystery School", "Extreme Buddhism"
LOCATION: SAN FRANCISCO, CA
www.likeswans.com
AN EXCERPT OF THE MESSAGE RECEIVED BY THIS VICTIM ABOUT HER EXPERIENCE WITH LIKE SWANS (any names / identifying information have been removed):
“It happens so slowly: Slowly you surround yourself with the new teacher, the new group of students. Slowly you distance yourself from your old friends and family. They don’t “get” you, anyway. Slowly your life becomes filled with the new teacher and the new group. Slowly, but surely, all the old things that made you “you” get dropped from your life. In your excited attempt to grow and try new things, you allow all your old favorite friends and activities to fade away. Before you know it, the group is your whole life. No one outside of it understands. And then the teacher starts showing you your “ego”. The ways you need to “change”. Slowly, but surely, s/he points out all your flaws. “Only a true Teacher will be this honest.” The flaws get pointed out one by one…the self-doubt starts to set in. Next comes “the occult”…or some sort of dark force…maybe “the devil”. Anytime your intuition tells you to run, get away from the teacher, get away from the group…you get told it is “occult forces” trying to “knock you off the path” or “make you fall.” You start to see everyone outside the group as the enemy. Friends and family become the enemy. You believe “they want to knock you off the path”. “They don’t understand”. By this point your entire foundation is gone, your entire sense of self is gone, your intuition is gone, your life is gone…and you cling desperately to the only thing you now trust: your guru.”

CHURCH BANNED FROM OPERATING ON A COLLEGE CAMPUS
A local news station in Tucson, Arizona reported about a potential cultic group that was banned from operating on the University of Arizona campus. It's the sad story of the Kluge family reaching out to their son who was recruited on campus, and who has now cut all ties with his family and friends, dropped his career and left his home state to start a new church for this group in Colorado.
