Last night I caught the end of a program on satellite TV where Rick Ross of the Rick Ross Institute tries to rescue a woman from a cult known as “The House of Yaweh.”  Click this link to go to Rick’s website.

Apparently 7 years ago the women went to visit her sister for a week long stay and never returned!  She has remained at the cult ever since working for $1.50 an hour!  (Ms West does not even pay $1.50 she calls all the non paid work ‘saver’ that means it is a big saving to her!)

Rick Ross managed to get the women to a hotel to try to reason with her about her membership of the cult but all the women did was quote ‘scriptures’ that the leader of the cult had brainwashed her with. 

One of the reasons she wanted to stay with the cult was because the leader had told her that the world was going to end in June of this year but even though that date has subsequently passed, with us all still here, the conditioning is still working to hold her in place!

Ms West’s also promises (to the big donors) that when the world comes to an end they will be taken in her space ship away from the destruction! 

Given Ms West’s desperate attempts to avoid going to court to face a recent assault lawsuit (her fifth lawyer just pulled out of representing her) I suspect that Ms West will be flying the coup with her stash of money long before the world comes to an end!

Even if she manages to settle this out of court, which I know she is trying to do, it will be the third case settled out of court this year so whichever way it ends the bad publicity will finish her!

If you go to Rick Ross’s site entirely dedicated to cults and the study of cults and you put the name “West” into the search engine on his site you are immediately taken to the Whitefish Pilot news article about Surya Ma, Montana’s very own cult leader, and to the story of her alleged assault against a local doctor that I referred to above.

There are some interesting articles on Rick’s site that go a long way to explaining how Ms West’s ‘students,’ after the proper ‘conditioning,’ are persuaded to sell their homes and hand over their cash so that the Ms West and her immediate family can live in luxury while the ‘donor’s head toward poverty! 

Or how a local doctor can be persuaded, with the addition of an alleged physical assault, to hand over her entire net worth to Ms West!  Click these links to read the story as written in two local papers the Whitefish Pilot & the Bigfork Eagle.

Of course once cult members have nothing else to give they are ejected from the cult as are those who ‘wake up!’  According to one ex cult member of “The House of Yaweh” once you wake up (from the brainwashing) you can never be brainwashed again so they, the leaders of the cult, have to get rid of you before you ‘contaminate’ the others!

Here are some interesting articles about cults – they all use the same techniques as Ms West does to a greater or lesser degree!

First let us look at an open letter to Congressman Gary Ackerman in respect of the recently departed ‘Sri Chinmoy.’  This letter was posted on Rick’s site recently and deals with the plight of the departed cult leader’s followers.  Please note the writer’s reference to the inability of the followers to think or reason for themselves.  Click this link to read letter.

Secondly here is a very good article about ‘Cult Formation’ written by By Robert Jay Lifton, M.D. that appeared in the Harvard Mental Health Letter/February 1981.  Click this link to read the article.

Doubtless those who remain in Ms West’s cult will recognize a lot of what is being said in this article!  Here is an excerpt:-

Cults can be identified by three characteristics:

1. A charismatic leader who increasingly becomes an object of worship as the general principles that may have originally sustained the group lose their power;
2. A process I call coercive persuasion or thought reform;
3. Economic, sexual, and other exploitation of group members by the leader and the ruling coterie.

In Ms West’s case we could add a number 4.

There are many well documented cases of Ms West using or attempting to use shamanism against those who oppose her or against victims who seek justice for alleged ‘crimes’ committed against them; victims like Dr Patricia MD and West’s ex office manager Rebecca West (no relation).

Indeed Rebecca West in her email to me of 9^th March 2007, doubtless frustrated at Ms West operating outside the law, suggested the use of ‘Montana Justice’ against West to counter Ms West’s regular alleged ‘assaults’ on her and her friend Dr Patricia MD.

My guess is that Rebecca was just reminding Ms West of one's right to take action in self defence?

Here is a quote from that email,

“I am not a stupid person and have many contacts to pursue this situation in more ways than one.  We do have our own Montana justice when all else fails.”

I do not advocate anyone taking the law into their own hands all I can tell you is that hell will freeze over and Satan will give free sled rides before I would succumb to this kind of intimidation! 

I am sure that if Ms West checked with Satan he would confirm that!

This are now 109 pages up on this site.  I believe that the pen is mightier than the sword so let us plough on with publishing the truth and let us see what effect that has on what little is left of Ms West’s credibility.

I have already started putting up a copy of this site with the url "surya-ma-unplugged" up in Canada.  When that is complete this entire site will move to the UK. 

Ms West is in the process of buying herself out of the latest assault on one of her cult membership.  However given that she is addicted to violence it is only a matter of time before she strikes out at someone else in her shrinking group.
 
When that happens I will be here to document Ms West's demise as it occurs.

What say the Court of Public Opinion about this Evil living amongst you in Lakeside, Montana?
