    Thank you India. In the documentary I was so scared & worried about you & I saw how much your mother loved you & was so worried about you, then the Doc kind of dropped you & I wasn’t sure what happened. I’m so glad to see this video. You have a chance now to be yourself & to help others & most important to be happy. I’m glad for you & your mom, & for this cult to be exposed.

      She didn't participate in The Vow because she has her own documentary called "Seduced". Her mother, Catherine, participated in The Vow while India remained inside NXIUM and then participated in Seduced

    As a mom myself I became very emotionally invested and connected more to your mother’s story/journey. As much as I couldn’t bare feeling her pain and heartbreak for so long I just couldn’t look away until there was an outcome of sorts. It’s a mom’s worst nightmare and I just had to know how her story ended. She is a wonderful, dedicated, giving, tenacious and loving mother as I’m sure you now realize more. She also handled herself with a tremendous amount of grace, dignity and relentless instinct in the face of such dark, evil, and sustained heartache . She’s so inspiring!
    If you see this and don’t mind a question….. I realize he went after a certain personality type and look. But in just your case, do you think Keith’s determination to keep you subjugated was more so based on the fraction of a possibility to make an inroad of dark influence over your connections to the British Royal Family?

    Count Charles Huguenot writing in 1837 - 228 yrs after the Basque witches and 95 yrs before the Nazis.
    "There is that moment at which you surrender your free will to 'one' leader - take me, guide, me show, me, I surrender to your magnificence. You always know that moment and will never forget it.
    When many individuals surrender their free will to 'one' leader, you have a cult, some even call them 'religions'.
    The 'one' leader beguiles, flatters, deludes and corrupts every individual to betray and sacrifice themselves and all others at any cost. Worse still is that every individual craves to come into the light and inner circle of the 'one' leader.
    My counsel would be to stop at 'that moment' and do not surrender your free will. Or, should you, do not complain later about being in the light you craved especially if you secretly loved it immensely at the time.
    Secret guilt is one matter, while being found out is a complete and utter public disaster."
    (CCH 1837)

    Honestly don’t feel too bad about falling for this cult… everyone is susceptible to the manipulations of others whether it’s a group of people or a single person or a corporation or a religion or whatever… we all want to be loved and accepted and it generally takes years to realize the only important thing is to love and accept yourself…. Keep going ! You’re young and this does not have to define your existence on earth…

    It would be fair that the ones involved with this criminal were judged and sentenced, the damage they created is so severe. There are a few members of rich families in Mexico, who were involved in this human traficking and they are free, they should be prosecuted and extradited to US for justice.

    India got out because her mom would have fought forever to get her. But where were Mack's parents? Does she have any family? All I can think is that clip where Keith has her crying, feeling bad about liking acting and art, and it was so obvious how little self respect or worth she had so if she had family they obviously didn't care about these feelings/fostered them in her. I wonder if she'll ever really wake up.

    It's easier to judge her or to blame her to have been member of this cult or for what she did instead of searching to understand her and what she lived. But we don't know what it is to be isolated from all his relatives, brainwashed and to be removed from all his critical sense. She went throught a lot I guess and we cannot judge her for that. She was coerxit. And if you had seen what I saw into the documentary seduced: inside the nxivm cult, you would not have some kind of bad critics, bad thoughts about her. And you would understand what she went through all these years, how she was convinced and enrolled into that kind of thing. In Europe we have a law against the coerxition but not in United State. That kind of stuff it's shameful, unfortunate and damaging for you because it's important to have this kind of law to understand what it's about and how someone can control a mind of someone else. This is important to eradicate this kind of cult and protect the victims from that. Of course, she has been slave and also recruited some persons to be slaves but she didn't wanted to do that at all, she has been coerxit. And some evil persons had a way to keep her under his watch, had a grip on her with the "famous garanties" containing some compromising materials from her family and her. So for that, we shouldn't judge her. Everyone can be brainwashed. And not forgetting that all the members were smarts and were still able to be brainwashed from all their critical sense.

    • @Lillireify
      @Lillireify ปีที่แล้ว +2

      You can't erase all her guilt by saying she was coerced. That's bs. We're not acquitting people who took part in murders when they were coerced to participate, yet somehow she's not guilty? Of course she is. And I don't like her for not taking accountability for the crap she did.
      Mike Rinder (who was a spokesperson for Scientology do years) admits to shit he did. To being a bad father. To being a horrible, horrible person, and he apologizes to everyone who he has hurt. Is she doing that?

    She’s pretty. She’s articulate. She has an awesome mom who plumbed heaven and earth to get her out despite India’s stubborn refusal to leave NXIVM or DOS until it unraveled.
    India may now see herself as a victim but she was also one of the perpetrators. She was next in the hierarchy to Allison Mack. She recruited slaves into the DOS organization and operated her own covey of slaves. She is as guilty as the others who were prosecuted. She escaped prosecution only because of her mother’s influence.

      Allison Mack and Lauren were the only ones who were prosecuted (from DOS). Nicki Clyne was a 1 line slave, directly under Keith, and there were no charges against her. India was a 2 line slave with her own slaves but there were dozens other slaves with their own slaves exactly like her. Even Sarah had her own slaves.

    I just find it difficult to understand how everything is the fault of one man who wasn't even involved in her life at the beginning. She chose to go to the programs and to live that life.. Maybe it was something she needed at that time, and at one point, she didn't need anymore? which is natural. The concept of building a character by swimming in the cold can actually be exciting. The assignment to seduce Keith is horrible, but I feel like she could refuse?? Maybe Keith should be in jail for things that he did, but if he should be , she, and other women should be as well , because she herself had slaves!!! She gave "assignments" to other women.

      You just don’t understand what is been brainwashed, coerce, threatening. Some people are more vulnerable to this, you just have to had a low self steam. A need to belong to a group. No they are not free thinkers , they loose critical thinking. The first face call the love bombing you think you found the answer to your problems. Then comes the family isolation and control, strict diet, this are torture and control of your mind tactics.
      You should read how a cult works. You should have more empathy for the victims, yes the victims. If you don’t know about the subject you should not condemn anyone. Sow more respect for her to become public and recognize you are been con by a con man. Everyone it’s susceptible to fall for it.
      Tell me the people who died in Guayana had critical thinking and were responsible for their actions? Not their will was controlled by a crazy man.
      I admire India it takes a lot to recognize publicly that you were duped. 😢
