  1.  @513morris  Yes I do believe them.These cult experts are world renowned social scientists eg psychiatrists,psychologists ,sociologists etc who have studied cults for decades.They study and observe how they work,how they successfully lure and trick even highly intelligent people and trap them .Some of these cult experts were former cult members themselves so they have a special understanding of how easy it is to be recrutied and how difficult it is to get out.Dr.Janja Lalich was a Fulbright scholar when she was successfully recruited into a political cult.Rick Ross who runs the Cult Education Institute has deprogrammed five medical doctors.Dr.Steven Hassan who is famous for his BITE model was a bright college student when he was succesfully recruited into the Moonies.Its easier than you think.It also almost happened to me even though I was told by many a person how intelligent I am. You need to educate yourself on how they work,the slick tactics they use to recruit people for you to make yourself immune.

  3.  @513morris  Oh please.I am not going to argue with you over foolishness.The academic and legal world recognises them as legimate experts..If I mentioned these people who are scientists with sociology and psychology degrees and have studied cults for decades and know how they work and some were in them and have first hand experience,then what about that does not qualify as being experts.If a medical doctor presented you with a medical degree from a reputable university and has studied and practiced medicine for decades ,how does that not qualify him as an expert in his field of medicine.Just google theses peoples names see.Their expertise is undeniable.

  5.  @513morris  Well you questoned their expertise when you said I had not provided any proof of them being experts.They said anyone because most people think its limited to stupid weird social outcasts.But its not.Given the right circumstances and vulneribility ,people from all types of situations in life can be.

  13. +Josh Brucks ... Cult experts and social scientists make a distinction between constructive/benign organisations/religions and destructive cults like Scientology.A study of the two reveals that there are striking differences between how they operate.So not all religions are destructive cults.And not all destructive cults are religious in nature. Studies of the groups People Temple,Branch Davidians, Heavens Gate,Jehovah's Witnesses ,Moonies,Scientology ,Hare Krishna etc reveal that they engage in the similar practices of deceptive recruiting,pressuring members to join,isolation of members from families,forbidding their members from associating with family and friends not in the group,having an us vs them mentality,having an abnormal control over members lives,controlling their members access to critical information of the group,implanting phobias about leaving,encouraging members to spy on one another,harassing,shunning,intimidating ex-members.Mental health professionals classify this as psychological abuse and often observe how rife mental health problems are in these groups. There are also political and commercial organisations which employ the above mentioned practices The Nazis, North Korean Regime are examples of destructive political cults.

  14. What else could they have done?. They couldnt call the police.The police would not help them. They would have knockes the door down if his uncle refused to open it.His family were outnumbered and unarmed against the killers. His family were defenseless.His cousins were children themselves and terrified.His uncle was trying to reason with then and begged and pleaded not to take him,the uncles wife begged and pleaded and even offered the killers money so that they wouldnt take him.Its easy for you sit down in the comfort of your home and say what you would have done,but you were not there to know how you woukd have reacted.

  15. Anyone who does believes she is innocent has not read the court files.The evidence is overwhelming

  16. 'Finally the DNA on the blade was explained by Rafaelle - he accidentally pricked Meredith's hand while cooking one day'..Then why did he admit it was a lie,that Meredith had never been to his apartment where he said he pricked her.How did Meredith's dna get on Raffaelle's knife  found in his apartment with Amanda's dna on the handle, if Meredith had never been there.

  17. +Jack N. ..The police asked the man to get his licence.Then he shoots him after he is reaching for it and trying to comply with the officer's demands.Notice when his girlfriend mentions that to the officer he does not dispute it.He then goes ballistic because he knows he screwed up

  18. Why don't you research it for yourself using the court documents,that is how most people do it.

  19. NO OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE ,REALLY NOW.Well let me break it down for you.Alibis of Sollecito and Amanda not matching up,Sollecito admitting to police that Amanda told him to lie about their whereabouts that night after computer records don't match up to what they said they did.Eyewitness accounts of seeing them near the cottage on the night of the murder when they claimed they were at Sollecito's apartment.Eyewitness accounts of seeing Knox buying bleach the morning of the murder even though she said she was asleep at that time. Five instances of her dna mixed with Meredith's blood.Amazing that there were four housemates,yet only her dna was found mixed with Meredith's.Three in the bathroom,one in the corridor and one in Filomena's room.Sollecito's bloody footprint found in the bathroom that Amanda and Meredith shared.His fingerprint found on Meredith's bra clasp.Meredith's blood found on the blade  of Sollecito's knife with Amanda's dna on the handle found in his apartment.Meredith had never been to Sollecito's apartment so how did her blood get on his knife  in  his apartment.Her writing an email saying she panicked and tried to kick down the door to Meredith's room,but police who arrived said she never mentioned anything to them about the door she said she was hysterical about.I here this is only the tip of the iceberg.There is more damning evidence that has not been released to the media as yet.

  20. Debunked?.Not according to the Supreme Court who overturned her not guilty verdict and not according to  the new court that reinstated her guilty verdicts.

  21.  @kisha4040 He didnt allow it.The uncle was elderly .He was 64 years old with nothing to defend even himself against He was no match against the younger white men and the other people who came there who had a gun.Simeon Wright said his father begged and pleaded not to take Emmett.One of them almost changed his mind because he was begging for Emmett,the other one was dead set on taking him.If you were in his uncle's shoes what would you do?

  27. If someone is telling the truth then they do not need to lie.If someone is telling the truth then his/her stories will not change like hers have.If someone is telling the truth then his/her alibi will be corroborated which is not the case with her.If she was not there then her dna would not be found in five different locations mixed with the victim's blood.Get the point.

  28. You cant trick me.I bet everyone of those members said the same thing before they got involved in Heavens' Gate.People's Temple,NXVIM,Scientolgy ,Branch Davidiands members probably all said that.You need to stop being jugemental and study cults and how they work and why as cult experts say anyone can be successfully recruited into a cult . The psychological tactics they use to lure vulnerable people in and trap them.I suggest you research Robert J Lifton 8 criteria of a mind control environment and renowned cult expert and former cult member Dr.Steve Hassan BITE model and understand what thought reform and brainwashing is.

  29. What happened to Patrick is her fault,that is why she was convicted for slandering him and spent 3 years in prison for it.Amanda is not a victim ,the evidence points that she was involved in Meredith's murder.

  30.  @a.n.tunderground1282  ..They are not suckers .They were vulnerable people deceptively lured into a group that pomised them a better future in a better world and manipulated with fake love aka lovebombing .Then isolated from friends and family outside the group which prevented them from receiving critical feedback then indoctrinated with phobias about horrible things they would experience if the left.It happens to millions of people and highly intelligent people at that.

  31. +LMLification... I get what your saying. but these women very were young and naive and like most people thought of Bill Cosby as a harmless father figure. and career mentor.Besides most women in these situations are raped or sexually assaulted by men who they have known for years ,who they have come to consider as a good friend and therefore trust.Some men are just sick predators.

  32. +personaking7 They are not asking for money and they can't get any from him anyway since the statute of limitations has expired.They want him to acknowledge that he hurt them.

  33. LMLification Yes but rape does not have to leave injuries.Still finding semen in the vagina does not mean that the accusation of rape could be substantiated,especially if they were drugged  and were knocked out and not able to fight him .And not all of these women are accusing him of rape,some are accusing him of sexual assault which can be as little as unwanted intimate touching or kissing.How do you prove that that happened without a video tape or eye witnesses?.It is virtually impossible.Some are accusing him of drugging them.Even if they had come forth and drugs were found in their blood streams,how would they prove that they did not consent to taking drugs.It is basically HE SAID vs SHE SAID and Bill Cosby was considered a titan,a goliath back in the day..with all the accusations he still is.I wouldn't necessarily say they were dumb,but just too trusting of  who they thought of as a very nice  famous man.I don't think that anybody in their wildest dreams back then and today  would have found it easy to believe that Bill Cosby would be cable of committing these acts.

  38. Amanda supporters are something else,they ignore the evidence that got her convicted in the first place,her lies,her changing stories,eyewitness accounts,her boyfriend telling police that she told him to lie,her boyfriend not corroborating her alibi ,her behavior at the cottage,her dna mixed with Meredith's,her forced attempts to cry,things written her book which contradict her court testimony.

  39. LMLification  I think they want him to acknowledge his wrong doing

  40. LMLification  Well that is probably true.I mean it is a very traumatizing experience and I think one that is very hard to recover from without some form of therapy.So I think they would want him to suffer for a long time,like they did.

  46. @Roseywellian you have not provided me with evidence that 8-12 people interrogated Amanda Knox for 14 hrs straight..that is because there is none.Your support for AK who has proven to be a compulsive lier is beyond sad.It doesn't matter if the police brought up Lumumba's name first,she should have never said he heard him killing Meredith,and even if she did she left him to endure 2 weeks in prison,the poor man is struggling to survive because of her,she has not even apologized to him.

  47. Do not dare tell me that I have been following and what I have not been following.The DNA on the knife is Meredith,the one on the handles is Amanda's.Her dna found 5 different locations,not in the shower, mixed with Meredith's blood near the crime scene.Police arrived because according to her email she panicked when she couldn't give down Meredith's bedroom door.They asked Amanda if Meredith's door was always locked,to which she said yes however this was disputed by Filomena.

  48. @gina2190 ..than you gina2190 these people refuse to read the Massei report..cause they know that once they read it they know that Amanda and Raphael were involved

  49. @Marks719 cause she said it on youtube,that means it is so.So when she said she heard Patrick killing Meredith,that means that he did it.First a AK supporter says 14hrs then you another supporter said she was interrogated for 50hrs.You AK supporters are mixed up,I don't blame you with the amount of lies AK has told.Amanda was interviewed politely by the police not interrogated,because at the time she was not a suspect.Maybe they didn't sue her for slander,cause the court knew it was a lie.

  50. None of the interrogations of the roommates,Rudy,Patrick or even Raffeale were filmed.Amanda seems to be the only one complaining.
