  • Again it 2 people thats ganging up on one. this Steve is getting special treatment on the show. He gets to speak his mind and do whatever he wants. Roy talks they interrupt him cutting him off and hes not giving Roy the same respect as Steve. So its common sense that Roy dealing with 2 disrespectful idiots and its not even a fair conversation.

  • @shotym34 Look at my video 'Roy Masters Explains the Foundation of Human Understanding.' He gets plenty of time, uninterrupted, to say his peace.

  • see ruebencult123 videos on cult leader roy masters and google ruebencult 123

  • I've always found Masters a tremendously interesting teacher. I've listened to his broadcasts ever since I first discovered his program in 1968. He's wonderfully insightful, refreshing, and really quite nonthreatening. I've never felt for one second that I was being manipulated or cajoled into anything. I've never given him a dime, either. He has very solid guidance, and my overwhelming impression is that he is saying essentially: "TAKE RESPONSIBILITY!" What's the problem?

  • To inflatableclown6: You swear too much lady.

  • @MASTER105175 The only swear word I used was 'ass'.  Roy uses that one all the time. And in your case....if the 'limp-dick-wimpy-ass' fits...then wear it.

  • To Clown6:  What are you trying to do? Your words are so foul that you do not deserve to have a mouth or a brain. You and Steve Hassan deserve each other.

  • @MASTER105175 Then why do you even bother following my videos around making asinine comments? You are so absurd. Take your limp-dick wimpy ass off my channel.

  • To Clown6: Roy Masters is NOT a megalomaniac as you JUDGED him as being. Your continued Judgements of people are 100% Wrong. You stopped listening to Roy Masters and became way too PROUD of your own egotistical manical self.

  • @MASTER105175 You are 100% a Roy-Toy wimp who can't even find his balls with both hands and a GPS. You are not even close to being a real man, but I know I'm wasting my breath even tell you that. Roy-Toy wimp.

  • This Steve Hassan and this inflatableclown person are both horribly wrong in everything they say and think. There needs to be some decent, kind, good people standing up and speaking the Truth in the right way and not causing arguements such as the current U.S.A. President does to everyone in our Nation now 2011.

  • @MASTER105175 Then why are YOU not decent and kind and good? You're mean and wimpy and rude and programmed and a woman-hating asshole. You aren't much of man in my book.

  • Roy is better than most so-call Christian teachers. He is devoted to helping with the Christ SPIRIT. He does not adhere to the party line of churchianity and this is good. There is nothing destructive about Roy's philosophy at all. It has helped me enormously and has pointed me intelligently to the Christ consciousness which is the path to life, truth and love.

  • @Lovingvictory1 I differ with you about some of Roy's philosophy being destructive.....however if you feel that his teachings have helped you then I'm glad for you.

  • @MrDAVIDEO84 loosen yer tie, dude...yer not gittin' enough oxygen, ok?

  • Comment removed

  • @MrDAVIDEO84 Yeah....I agree. I've met Roy and know his teachings very well. Although not everyone gets caught up with him in a way that ends up hurting their life, the fact is he falls into the category of cult leader. Plus he sucks.

  • @ConanTheRepublican Your point is absolutely valid. There are many many (did I say many?) people who listen to his program, who get some kind of good out of it, and they don't get all twisted and disturbed and messed up. Roy even has fans out there who just like to tune in an get a good laugh. I just happen to be in the group of people who think Roy kinda sucks.

  • @inflatableclown6 Well, that's perfectly valid, in my not-so-humble view. I think we have to be careful, however, of out-and-out militancy. RM is not out selling crack to little children, etc. I really feel that we have to have our OWN internal confidence (or center) in ourselves, and be aggressive in objectively evaluating what we see and hear, and not react to these inputs reflexively. We need to be more contemplative. I think the example of the reaction to Jesus 2k ago is demonstrative

  • ...of what can happen when people don't AGGRESSIVELY "wrestle the truth to the ground" as I am fond of saying. Imagine, if you will, just WHAT would have happened had the Jews and the Romans WELCOMED Jesus, and really gave Him a chance? Would history possibly have shaken out just a bit differently? I think so. Being the Son of God, he could've (with the help of a supportive, belieiving, trusting nation), changed the world forever. But cooler heads did NOT prevail. We see the result.

  • @MrDAVIDEO84 MrDAVIDE084 gave me what purports to be Roy Masters personal home address and phone number, and I will be reporting him to YouTube leadership. You should NEVER be volunteering anyone's personal information to ANYONE unsolicited, with what I'm SURE is the hope that someone will do him harm. And, the way you write is highly suggestive of EXTREME instability on your OWN part, friend. You need to (1) get out more, and (2) TAKE your medication, okay, cha-cha?

  • @ConanTheRepublican This guy gave you Mr. Masters' home address and phone number? For what purpose? That's really weird. You see Mr. Conan, some of the people who oppose Roy are totally bizarre. I, myself, am totally bizarre as well, yet I'm quite harmless. I just have a big mouth and I'm not afraid to spill my guts.

  • @inflatableclown6 Yes, he messaged me privately at my YouTube page, and gave me all of Mr. Master's personal information. I'm quite confident that the info is no doubt easily found on the internet, however, NO ONE should be volunteering someone's personal info. Especially a "controversial" individual who some unstable individuals wouldn't mind doing harm to. People need to FREAKING CHILL. Roy Masters isn't hurting anyone, for God's sake. If you buy his line, fine...if not, go elsewhere.

  • @ConanTheRepublican Dude, let me tell you.....when I started putting these videos out I got several dire warnings from ex-Roy Masters followers who warned me that I was in danger because Roy has a psychic ability to do harm to people who oppose him and speak out. I AM NOT KIDDING !!! These people actually think Roy has spiritual power to hurt people with his mind. Holy hell. Y'know I may be totally crazy, but I'm not that friggin' crazy.

  • @inflatableclown6 Aaah, I wouldn't wurry yer purdy lil head about that. He ain't got THAT much power. I don't believe it for a second. He's smart enough to know that "what goes around, comes around", and karma will kick his ass. Yer not crazy, but I think yer wound up a bit too tight on Masters, honestly. The man is harmless.

  • @ConanTheRepublican Thanks, you're nice. Truth is, I don't worry a bit about Roy or whoever is following him, I just happen to be very opinionated about some of the stuff he teaches.

  • @inflatableclown6 That's cool. Whatever you do, don't lose ANY sleep, though! Best of everything.

  • @inflatableclown6 ...He's a bit eccentric, yes, but still harmless.

  • Inflat O' Clown6: you have a very funny humility. It's refreshing.

  • @MrDAVIDEO84 DEFINITION 'MrDAVIDEO84': (proper noun) Intelligent honest fellow who is not afraid to speak the truth.

  • see ruebencult123 videos

  • So alarm bells are ringing, I need to keep researching this. Is this man taking people for a ride? Does he have hidden motives, is his motive purely to make a living from his deception, or is there a deeper goal in mind? The more I read, watched, thought, procrastinated, connected, the more alarming it became. This man has really managed to capture peoples minds with his words. He nearly did it to me as I watched a video. Scary! But it did not work as i too am hardwired against manipulation inf

  • @ausdiv Roy Masters is very slick. His manipulation is undetectable to the casual listener. Personally, I think he's completely convinced of his own sincerity and doesn't think he's doing anything wrong.

  • . I'm not watching the meditation video , I'm glad I read your warning prior!!!

  • @ausdiv How I wish there would have been an 'inflatable clown' way back in 1981, I could have averted 2 1/2 decades of sheer hell.

  • A very dangerous combination. Now I'm an intelligent person ( my IQ has been tested many times and found to be at genius levels, I was never beaten in a baths test at school and I attended 5 different schools). I also have very strong instincts, I am not afraid to walk with the enemy as I can sense imminent danger and I often walk the city streets at night alone. Roy masters has managed to set off both my intelligence and instinct alarms, a very talented man. ( and no that's not a compliment.

  • @ausdiv Roy Masters is talented at capturing people's attention, isn't he?

  • @inflatableclown6 yes the way he uses rationals against his followers is disgusting. nearly all the things he says are to try to trap a persons mind and make any opposing opinion an attack on ones self worth. Once he has the people believing that it would be very difficult for them to see any other point of view.

  • @ausdiv You are absolutely correct and I understand this implicitly.

  • Wow, I stumbled across Roy masters while I was researching hypnotherapy and if it is considered evil. (my definition of evil being anything that is harmful to the earth, animals, humans and the spirit of all the three aforementioned.) He is a self proclaimed professional hypnotist (it's in a video on YouTube, it comes out of his mouth).

    When I learnt soon after that he was also considered a spiritual leader alarm bells began to sound off in my head. hypnotism and evangelism in one, a very dang

  • I'm taking your comments light-heartedly, and I have nothing against you.

    I did listen to the meditation and pour over all the Roy Masters tapes.

  • @MrRoma753 So then......why won't you try the meditation? YOU STILL HAVEN'T ANSWERED THAT QUESTION!! Look, MrRoma....my contention is that the meditation is bogus. It's hypnotic, it creates trances in those who are sincere about doing it right, and it locks their mind up in a dissociated state that is very very dangerous. Do you agree with my assessment, YES OR NO????!!! You won't be able to answer that question honestly until you actually put it to some discipline. So do it or STFU!!

  • @inflatableclown6 I understand exactly what you're saying about the meditation.

    I also believe you when you say you had a bad experience.

    Any meditation that brings one to the "light" or an objective place, can be traumatic if we aren't ready to FACE UP to our spiritual condition. YOU WEREN'T READY!

    So I believe that you DID have a bad experience. My advice is don't do the meditation! Take the necessary time you need to heal.

  • @MrRoma753 The reason I had a bad experience with the meditation was that my mind/soul/spirit is hard-wired to rebel against deception, manipulation, and evil control by outside forces such as cult leaders (like Roy). Roy's bullshit meditation does NOT lead one to the light. I FACED UP to my spiritual condition better than you can possibly understand, and I was ready to do ANYTHING for the sake of following the truth. You are dead-wrong about me, but I know you'll never admit that.

  • @inflatableclown6 Again, you make another false assumption.

    I specifically said "any meditation that brings one to the light", meaning

    a good practice of self-analysis.

    I clearly stated that you shouldn't do Roy Masters meditation.....

    rather, find another beneficial way of healing!

    And you don't need any charismatic figure to bring you to the truth.

    It's available within ourselves from a higher source.

  • @MrRoma753 I haven't done that malignant meditation in over 20 years. I don't need to be healed any longer, I have accomplished that through my own self-reflection and deep soul-searching. All I'm saying is Roy Masters sucks ass. I've seen his meditation destroy lives and marriages, some of which have never recovered. Just because I think Masters is a disgrace to humanity doesn't mean I still need healing. It's just my opinion. Deal with it.

  • It's obvious that your habitual name-calling suggests your testimony against Roy Masters is not credible.

  • @MrRoma753 It's obvious that you're scared to death to try the meditation. Why do you keep avoiding my question about that? If you'd just answer that question, I'll remove that ridiculous Bwack-bwack-bwack comment off your channel profile if you haven't already. If you keep pussy-footing around my question, I'll take it as an admission that you have absolutely no gonads and further proof that you have no place to criticize me.

  • I happen to be in the study of religion and psychology and kindly ask for proof of your allegations. Instead, you call me "programmed" and other names.

    In the sciences it's important that we make judgements based on empirical evidence.... not bias!

  • @MrRoma753 The fact that you study religion and psychology doesn't mean have have any clue about Masters. My allegations are mostly subjective anyway and cannot be proven other that in the context of defining what makes up a cult. However, I do object to anyone who tries to shut me up or say I'm 'slandering' Masters. I am free to speak my opinion, am I not? Just as he is free to call me a liar.

  • @MrRoma753 I really don't appreciate discussing this with you unless you actually try Roy Master's meditation so you'll have your own empirical evidence' of what it's about OK??? Masters himself admits that there is a hypnotic aspect to the meditation but justifies it by saying ah it's OK for you to hand your mind over to me, I'll see that you get it back in better condition. Uh-huh, sure. Spoken like a true snake oil salesman.

  • @MrRoma753 You're scared to try the meditation, huh? I knew it.

  • Comment removed

  • @inflatableclown6 You don't know me yet you continue to make false assumptions.

    It's evident that your testimony against Roy Masters is not credible.

    Steve Hassan used you as his personal "Tawana Brawley" to build his reputation.

    In that sense he's a parasite in this particular case.

  • @MrRoma753 So..... it's no fun to be judged by a sanctimonious idiot who doesn't know you, yet makes false accusations and assumptions about you? That's what you continue to do to me. Holy sh*t if Hassan needed to use me to build his reputation, he wouldn't have any reputation at all because I am a nobody!! Don't you know that he never even met me before I did these shows and that he had nothing to do with my intervention? Why do are you so biased against Mr. Hassan?

  • @inflatableclown6 In this particular case Roy Masters challenged Steve Hassan to prove his sweeping allegations and Hassan could not.

    On further investigation it does appear that Hassan is acting like a parasite by building his own reputation at Masters' expense without any evidence.

    I have a problem with self-proclaimed "experts" (as Hassan calls himself)

    who behave in an unethical, opportunistic way by deceiving others.

  • @MrRoma753 You, too, are a self-proclaimed expert on Hassan, who happens to have a Masters Degree from Cambridge College, has an LMHC from the State of Massachusetts, and is nationally board-certified as a counselor, not to mention the decades of experience he has counseling people and advocating for freedom of mind. He deceives no one and loves helping and educating people about cult leaders like Roy Masters, who make their living fooling people and sucking the life out of them.

  • @MrRoma753 So....MrRoma, you still haven't told me why you won't try the meditation? I devoted 6 solid years to it. Twice a day, every day. I re-arranged my whole life to follow what I thought was a path of truth, I dropped out of college, I turned my back on everyone and everything to follow what I thought was right.

    Where's your balls, MrRoma? Apparently I have bigger balls than you do.....because you refuse to even address the reason you won't try Roy's meditation. Wimp.

  • @MrRoma753 So then, answer this direct question, Mr. Expert On Everything You Think Is Wrong With Steve Hassan.....are you afraid to do the meditation or not? You keep avoiding that. Are you the lily-livered sniveling coward about the meditation that I believe you are.....or are you a real man and willing to handle a very small little challenge?

  • @inflatableclown6 As I explained before, my area of study is in the religion and psychology fields. After conducting an exhaustive investigation into this matter

    It became evident that Steve Hassan's allegations had no empirical basis.

    I did not rely upon hearsay. I obtained the meditation and hours of Roy Masters

    tapes. The LA Times article pulled excerpts of Masters' words out of context which were verified by the actual tapes.

  • @MrRoma753 So....your area is religion and psychology, you keep repeating that like a parrot. Why won't you try the meditation?

    It's because you hide behind your computer, throw insinuations and accusations at whatever frightens or intimidates you (including ME).......and you're a ball-less wonder who is deathly afraid to try the meditation......because you know it will screw up your mind.

    I'm still waiting for you to address this question ----why not do Masters' meditation?

  • Linda, It was you who called your videos "stupid". However, I don't believe it's "useless" (as you suggested) to try and have a rational conversation.

    It's important to provide proof  to go along with your accusations- which you seem unable to do.

  • @MrRoma753 Proof of what?  That Roy is a cult leader? There is plenty of evidence if you bother to do the research with an open and objective mindset, which you do not have. A rational conversation is not possible with someone who is programmed. To be quite honest, I don't really spend much time on this channel anymore other than letting anyone comment. I can't 'prove' it to you that he is a cult leader, you have to figure that out for yourself.

  • You call your videos "stupid" and I agree. You're unable to hold a rational conversation. I never said I listen to Roy Masters, you did. I just asked you for proof of your accusations and you answer with childish name-calling.

  • @MrRoma753 If my videos are so stupid, why do you bother? If I'm so irrational, why do you waste your time on this useless exchange?

  • I'm not upset at you for your namecalling. I think it's sad that you make up outrageous falsehoods. Nowhere has Roy Masters ever said the absurd things you accuse him of.

    Your obsession with Masters reminds me of a certain case in M. Scott Peck's book "People of the Lie".

  • @MrRoma753 Good heavens you RoyHeads are so predictable !! Every one of you is always 'sad' for me. The quotes I gave you are a public record, but Roy never talks about them because of how embarrassingly revealing they are about him. If anyone is obsessed with Roy it's YOU, because you can't seem to control yourself, you have to keep commenting on these stupid videos of mine. Geez.

  • @inflatableclown6 I'll tell you what I tell every Roy Toy I've ever met -- GO GET A LIFE and stop following Masters around with your nose up his ass.

  • I believe I've asked a rational question by asking where is Hassan's proof.

    Why the childish namecalling?

    Please provide evidence of Roy Masters "wanting followers" as you assert.

    Masters has a record of over 50 years helping others battle addictions and you can't find any examples to back up your accusations!

  • @MrRoma753 I only like childish name-calling in regard to RoyHeads like you. Roy has said that he admired Jim Jones because of how much power he had over people, it is documented in the LA Times and is a matter of public record. He also stated "I've got more power over people than Adolph Hitler and Jim Jones combined, because I'm smarter". With his 50-year history is also a very long list of people who were severely damaged by his bullshit. I personally know many of these people myself.

  • @MrRoma753 The fact that you are offended by my calling you a RoyHead is just proof that you are a RoyHead.

  • It seems to me that Steve Hassan displays the same psychological weaknesses now as he did when he was involved in a "cult".

    Only now he wears a different mask. Hassan could not explain his accusations against Roy Masters except by using vague generalities.

    None of Hassan's accusations apply to Masters which leads one to wonder what motivates Hassan.

  • @MrRoma753 Hassan is motivated by the same thing that motivates anyone that doesn't like to see sincere honest seeking people exploited. They don't like to see people get deceived by cult leaders. Hassan's 'generalities' are only vague to people who don't want to see the truth.

  • @inflatableclown6 Is it too much to ask that Hassan provide proof?

    Roy Masters has a public record of over 50 years helping people battle addictions.

    What do we know about Steve Hassan? He's addmitted being traumatized by his "cult" involvement, now he ' projects' his trauma on others without proper evidence. Should we follow Hassan blindly?

  • @MrRoma753 No, you silly RoyHead. That's the difference between Masters and Hassan. Roy WANTS followers, Hassan does NOT. He advocates and promotes Freedom of Mind (that's the name of his website), whereas Masters only promotes himself and his own little non-enlightened mentally stunted little Foundation.

  • @MrRoma753 HEAR! HEAR!

  • @MrRoma753 No, we certainly should NOT.

  • If I was not objective, I would actually believe what Steve Hassan was saying. Why doesn't he mention all of the evil or bad things Roy Masters has, and is doing. Sacrifices, brainwashing, swindling, Kool-Aid drinking. Because he doesn't do any of it. If you do listen to Steve Hassan, you will miss a perfect opportunity to give Roy Masters 1 chance to see were he is coming from. Didn't people ridicule and doubt Moses, Noah, Columbus, Newton, MLK.

  • Hassan is dumbest guy ever. NO CLASSS!!! AND HE THinks everything he knows lol! He's very personla against Roy , I bet he's jealous and jerk .

  • Roy Masters leaves his body and kills people,roy and others like him are just using his followwers to do what they won,t do,so they take the blame and get punished in the end.Thus thats what Roy Masters means on his program,when he says to his followers,Well you shouldn,t have done that".Even thought he told them to do it.Their found out and now are to take the blame.Their cut off from the evil.Its to protect them the buck stops with the meditator.

  • @ruebencult123 To say that 'Roy Masters leaves his body and kills people' is a very inflammatory and unsubstantiated statement. I'd like to know what proof you have that he leaves his body.

  • see ruebencult123 video

  • Comment removed

  • why Mr steve hassan why? do want to hurt Mr Master's it seems to me that because you went to school now you need some power so you need to get it off of Masters..boy all i see is bitterness. you call yourself a christian? I dont think you are a man all the through because you needed your family to save you. you don't any guts or life experience let's face it you are still mommy's boy and from my view go help yourself understand what life is about.

  • @MrEdwin62 : Hassan does not call himself a Christian although he has respect for Christian beliefs. Steve is not bitter, he just doesn't like what happens when people fall under mind control. It's not even anything personal, Steve is very professional.

  • you are obsessed with roy masters and he helps WAY more people than you do lol move on and grow up already you are truly sad

  • Uh-huh.

  • @inflatableclown6 Mr. Hassan thougjht he's prefectly educated, plus he doenst know about hypnosis at all. Roy master is not a cult he know the thruth about everything. He didnt let people control but to know the truth behind everything. Hassan is no class on that show , seems he disrespect Roy. I don't think he's a well educated because he acts jerk and no class plus he's talks are nuts I don't gain anything from him.

  • @ChristisLord7771  Okee dokee

  • Wasn't meant to be "funny".

    I'd be interested to listen to the exchange between you and Roy if you phoned his radio program. If you are as correct as you have postured yourself to be on this thread then you should be able to defeat any argument that he may offer hands down, right?

  • The question is, if I called his program and told him who I was, would he let me on the air? He carefully screens his calls, I'm sure you're aware of that. If he doesn't want to talk with someone they won't get on the air. I think the dude is afraid of me. He's a ball-less wonder. Talks a big talk behind a mic, but in the real world, he's a bully who shrinks from challenge. He's a nincompoop.

  • notice you are NOT addressing his doctrine, his WORDS; you are merely name calling. You with your mouth are winning Roy's argument; can you give a link to a video then theologically debate him? Are you a stalker? Leave the guy behind and get a life.

  • I no longer have anything to do with Roy, I have no need to 'leave the guy behind.' I know all about his doctrine, too, and if you want to debate that, I'm game. Bring it.

  • You can say it thousands of times but the proof is in the pudding. This thread that attempts to discredit Roy Masters is, to me, proof positive that you're bitter about something that you think he did to you thru your contact with him in whatever form it took.

    If it's just a matter of "disagreement", like you say, why not call him on his program and discuss it with him instead of trashing him behind his back. Not a very "christian" thing to be doing you know.

  • You're funny.

  • Then Roy Masters is as "qualified" to do exorcisms as you are, right? If that be true why the bitterness?

  • What makes you think I'm bitter? Can I not disagree with Masters without being bitter? Hey, did you look at my 'Read My Lips' video? I am not bitter or resentful, nor do I have any reason to be whatsoever.  How many times to I have to say that?

  • "Roy is a master hypnotist and a mental/emotional manipulator"

    Your personal opinion ONLY. You are no more qualified to make that judgement than you say that Mr. Masters is in teaching his observation exercise.

    Does merely "being there" qualify you as an annointed one that enables you to see into the heart and soul of the person being exorcised?

  • It is public knowledge that Masters is a master hypnotist, he started the Institute of Hypnosis in Texas many years ago. Go check your facts.

    ANYONE who has the Spirit of Christ (i.e. the Holy Spirit) is anointed and can perform exorcisms. Read the Bible, dude.

  • laserofjustice, you indicate that others adore Roy Masters as god, but you seem to be a self appointed god yourself when you make a judgement that Mr. Masters is doing a "phoney exorcism". What qualifies you to make that judgement? What criteria do you use to determine that it's "phoney"? Are you god? If you believe it to be phoney then that implies that you are privey to the non-phoney way of doing one. Please explain how a real one is done.

  • Roy is a master hypnotist and a mental/emotional manipulator. I assisted at a genuine exorcism of a 15 year old pregnant satanist, so I know the difference between these disgraceful 'parlor game' exorcisms and the real thing. Masters is a ridiculous spiritual fraud.

  • Steve Hassan was fool enough to be in a cult? Somehow I am supposed to believe this guy knows something that I should know. He wouldn't let Masters even speak! What was "Mr. I have a physiology degree' afraid that Roy Masters would say?

  • The Way International is a cult!

  • Do you realise Linda that you are kind of famous? i can see you in the back of the camera, you have been on t.v girl! you're a star now, Lol

  • this steve hassan is a bit of a twat though...he never let Roy answer the questions and attacks made on him, just my 2 cents

  • Roy is the true evidence that God is within and the way he shows patience in such a hostile environment where you have one cry baby to the side and one confused biatch in the audience.

  • Flawless ? Need a magnifying glass to see it.

  • wow, Hassan comes off as a whiny baby when he was challenged by Roy. In truth, none of the characteristics the he claims he uses to judge an organization as a cult applies to Roy, and he knows that, and all he could do is come back with "well I have a degree so there". Yet that in itself qualifies HIM as a member of a cult according to his OWN definition. He merely jumped through hoops set up by an authority figure and now spouts what he was programmed to say.

  • excellent, that is right - I agree.

  • There is no end to distraction, distortion and deviation from the truth unless you choose otherwise. The false life must die and the new must take root. Then, reality can enter in, change your life and you will be (in) troduced to the one who sent you here.Well worth any suffering and pain I can assure you. But, that is up to the sojourner.

  • "Shut up!"  4:08 lol

  • Steve Hassan tells truth!

  • Roy used to be fat.

  • Roy used to have (and still does) an intestinal problem he contracted while on a vacation. He still suffers from this and has problems with digestion etc. Yeah, he was fat....

  • Hassan says a group is a cult when it shares beliefs, people susume themselves to it and it has an authorititive leader.

    Er........so, Christianity is a cult. Our town council is a cult. Parliamentary party democracy is a cult. My sports team is a cult? My little group of drinking mates is a cult?

    Hassan's just a kid.

  • Either you're stupid or plain ignorant- if you actually botehr to research what Hassan has written you'll see your definition is not Steve Hassan's- do yourself a favour and read one of his books!

  • @Cacadore Of course Christianity is a cult, silly! Although he lists a lot more criteria than what you've mentioned, total strawman on your part!

  • most of the cult criteria doesnt apply to roy , i might add that he is a bit cultish do to the fact that people sometimes turn their teachers into cult leaders by following too much as a posed to listening to their own inner voice, and roy does have a big ego, roy has some good info as long as you dont atatch yourself to it!

  • Inflatableclown sounds like your inflated with a great deal of bound-up hatred. I will prey for you and hope you get better with it. May your life be happy.

  • Steve Hassan's book "Combatting cult mind control" is excellent and certainly explains how cults recruit and bend people's minds.

    I don't know alot about Roy masters- just he seemed very defensive, now why would that be?

  • Cos he wasn't allowed to speak - he had two of them going at him.

    It was the show host who used the word 'parasite' out of context.

  • That Hassan has a degree in psychology and knows nothing. Masters actually teaches deprogramming - reversing hypnosis. No membership fees (a lie). He teaches you to empower yourself (real psychology) ..that is not dependence. Hassan is exactly what Masters says. A Parasite and he helps noone with his degree, which is you did not notice, he has to fall on in frustration. Masters responded with calm and resolve just as a (cult?) christian would.

  • Many people have been helped to escape from cult by Steve Hassan. Whereas Roy simply looks like a cheap charlatan with a big ego- hust another power hungry TV evangelist arsehole.

  • Why would I read a Hassan book after seeing this? I have read Masters books. I have listened to Masters ..I listened to him in this video CLIP. I'm sure Hassan could make you look like a cult leader to other people like yourself. He scares you like he scares Hassan. See him look nervously at his fingernails. Hassan IS an educated EGO. He should have SLAPPED Hassan like he's got a dirty disrespectful mouth. Masters was teaching more than Hassan knows before Hassan was in diapers. Bye now.

  • I can see that you adore Masters as your true God, wellm good for you!

    Do yourself a favour and read some books on cognitive disonance and mind control, Hassan studied psychology AFTER his experience inside a cult.

    I have seen some Roy Masters video of him doing phoney exorcism and similar hypnotic tricks- he's a master manipulator.

  • Anybody who hears what Roy masters has to say, and how he says it, will see that he is no charlatan. He is a deeply caring, enlightened individual with an incredibly important message.

  • The same was said of "Rev" Jim Jones!

  • so you're equating what Roy Masters does with Jim Jones? That's laughable.

  • why would he react like that?? got provoked? thought he didn't get affected by peoples words?

  • Curious. Harpo here is certainly a showman, but I can't see that he's doing anything terribly wonderful or terrihly dangerous. He seems to teach plain old simple meditation. Focus on your hand to let the mind chatter stop.

    The eighties were full of strange superstitious and fears, from Nancy Reagan checking astrology charts to this hysterical fear of hypnotism.

    What's weird is that people seem to either worship or fear this guy, and he's just another spiritual teacher making a buck.

  • you ought to have a go at the meditation yourself and see what i'm talking about. it is insidiously trance-like, not really meditation at all. meditation should not put anyone under mind control.

  • Typical...when Masters can not stregthen his argument he resorts to name calling...really mature.

  • any religion is a terrible religion

  • Sometimes I agree, sometimes I don't. True religion should make someone a better person. For many, religion makes them better people, more loving, etc.

  • ahhh

    but should someone be put in the place to make descions for a "flock"

    whether or not they possess some sort of power or whether they themselves have that power

    yes i agree that religion was started more as a means to keep people from doing bad things

    cultural evoulution has made it so it's less about the good and the bad and more about whether on not there is a god or gods

  • Endless debate about whether god or God exists or doesn't. Fact is, people are spiritual, and need spiritual expression. Not always accomplished through religion. Spiritual expression can be done through music, art, philosophy, imagination, sex, any type of creativity. Nothing wrong with that.

  • if thats your descreption of spirituality then i agree with everything there but the religion aspect is the propblem in my eyes but in my life i've only really meant people either for or againist the religion aspect most people overlook the spiritualality

  • Well, you got it down. Spirituality is a thread that runs through all of us. Religion is man-made and sometimes hinders, even harms people.

  • I think it is a little silly to think Oregon is a safe place. It's a perfect place for a shore invasion plus it's much closer to many extremely large adversarial communist countries, China and Russia, including the Islamic sovereign alliance's. Natural disaster's would prominently affect little cow coastal towns like those in Oregon completely isolating them from any federal assistance.

  • Doomsday revelations and end-of-the-world apocalyptic fear-mongering are just one of the ways Roy gets into people's heads. If yelling "The sky is falling the sky is falling!!" would bring in more devoted followers you would see him running around in a chicken suit.

  • Roy Wants You! Isn't it nice to be wanted?!

    True, Mr. Masters has no membership list, but he successfully persuaded 100's, probably 1,000's of his devotees to move to the Grants Pass, Oregon area. During the early 1980's, he warned his listeners about the dangers of city life and a possible nuclear attack from Russia. He sent his subscribers a photocopy from some book, written by a doctor, that stated that the Southern Oregon area would be the safest place during a nuclear attack.

  • Also during the early 1980's, Mr. Masters spent a great deal of time promoting his new 350-plus acre Oregon retreat. And during the 80's housing market correction in L.A., he told his listeners that, that was probably their last opportunity to sell their homes and move to southern Oregon.

    He also stated on radio that he'd run the local Grants Pass politics once everyone moved up there.

    Roy wants you!

  • I remember Roy promoting a lot of "doomsday" fear of the collapse of society and people better get out of the big cities. I used to think that such a fall was imminent. I started collecting silver boullion and gold coins so I would have a way to barter when our money system collapsed. Spot silver was about $6.95 and gold was $400/ounce then.

  • Inflatabe, listen there are people who can make a cult out of a ham sandwich. I am not kidding. Perhaps you got a little obsessed with FHU and Roy in the beginning? Now you seem to rebel and STILL obsessed - have made an avocation out of discrediting whatever truths or untruths he tries to bring. You are STILL as obsessive about Roy as you ever where! You site looks the basement walls of a star crazed maniacal killer from a Law&Order episode plastered with pics of the "intended". Chill baby! DJS

  • A ham sandwich doesn't teach you a meditation exercise that puts you into a trance in which your perception of reality become twisted. If Roy's meditation didn't have the negative destructive effects that it has, I wouldn't have any beef with him.

    My channel background is a beloved photo of my little boy and I. How is it that you see a "crazed maniacal killer" here? Maybe your perception of reality is twisted.

  • @inflatableclown6

    he did you a favor

  • @maumaucommie  Who did who a favor? Explain your comment please.

  • Well he is... a parasite. And a liar... And an exaggerator...

  • CholtaeSarang: Hey, you are a Moonie!! Cool!! Do you have to sell flowers on the street?? Or do you work at one of those sunglasses stands? I think I may have bought a pair of Raybans from you.

  • I actually work at coldstone, lol.

  • Steve Hassan is talking about all religions! He bashes the Catholic church, what else is new for mind-controled protestants. Roy has no authority over the people that listen to him. He doesn't have 'followers' at all! Roy really doesn't tell anyone anything new, he just urges people to live in the present. If they get anything more from it or are disturbed by it then they had problems that are beyond Roy's capabilities to begin with.

  • When Steve is asked about the Catholic church, I believe that he's just being intellectually honest and saying that the church has, at times, imposed it's authority in a draconian manner (crusades / persecutions anyone?) --which is not to say that the church never recovered from that.

    Are Protestants a bit zealous when it comes to Catholics? Oh yeah. Steve, it turns out, is Jewish however.

  • phonie, i don't see any special insight from this guy...why you defending yourself, just manifest and allow your works to prove who you are...

  • acura1997: uuuuhhhhh...what the? your comment doesn't make much sense. Rephrase a little more coherently? Unless you're meditating, in which case you may find being coherent a little difficult.

  • I think perhaps he's saying that Roy is "fake" because he labors too much in his own defense. He's not advancing a concrete message, although that would difficult under the circumstances, ya' gotta admit. Anyway... So, instead of being so self-referential and if Roy has a unique message then he should just deal it out directly so that people can finally evaluate it for themselves.

    ...That's just my guess. Then again, what do I know? I don't drive an Acura.

  • Steve Hassan probably tried Roy's meditation tape, saw the truth about himself and it scared the begeebers out of him. Roy Masters may sound "cultish" at times, but lets face it.. he is spot on 99% of the time!

  • Why do all you Royheads think you know how Steve Hassan thinks?? You are projecting your own weird way of thinking onto him -- typical behavior for someone who has been programmed. Steve is well-versed in the art of deception, and is a mind control expert, he is not afraid of confronting and exposing it. More power to him! If Masters meditation is truly meditation and not hypnosis, then it will stand up to scrutiny.

  • ROY IS A GREAT PERSON

  • Cool.

  • i just take the good things that he talks about to help me in my personal life. whatever roy does in his personal life is up to him. talking and walking a good life is two different things..

  • Keep in mind Hassan is an ex (13 year) member of a cult, and therefore is paranoid and has an axe to grind. His childish attack on Masters based on hypnotism & diamond-cutting shows his true colors. Hassan is an angry parasite.

  • Hassan was only in the Moonies for a little over 2 years. (where'd you get your mis-info?) I know the guy, he is neither bitter nor paranoid.

  • Why don't you just forget about Roy Masters and just go watch more videos of lesbians giving slobbery kisses and women drooling and sitting on toilets.

  • I don't care who's right here, their all being absurd, and that makes their approach wrong.
