Phil in the Blanks: ft. Rick Alan Ross -The Dangers and Warning Signs of Cults (PART 1)

[@FayAlexGG]

The information in this series is so important, I wish there was a curriculum in high school to teach all young adults about these red flags.

[@bb1117]

That was exactly what I thought!

[@mariekatherine5238]

There are some schools that have classes on cults, advertising, fake news, and yes, toxic people.

[@vjs4539]

High schools indoctrinat kids as much as any cult

[@savannahforever660]

Thank you Dr Phil! I never miss an episode, these are so good! Phil in the blanks gave me the tools and education I needed to leave me abusive, narcissist ex boyfriend. Saved my life!!!

[@djchaiwallah]

Thank you for this series. I've dated two women with BPD and your series really has helped me identify red flags before getting into another relationship.

[@clare1971]

This topic is so important, particularly for those easily seduced by their vulnerability or lack of self esteem

[@cathy_clarinet]

This was so Interesting. I can’t wait for part Ii!!

[@PlatinumLemur]

Number one need of all people ..self acceptance. If you can't find that, guess what Other sources will do. Ignoring the distorted voices of the crowd.. Seeking the facts not partial narratives that fit you being "the good person". You know what con artists look for? People who want something and don't want to do "the work".. Thank you Dr. Phil.

MLM Cults, @CCSuarez this is also your line of expertise isn't it lovely x

[@LourdesGzz]

😰 why would anyone join a "group" that calls it self aggressive and yells at you

[@susannefiore4338]

I really love your show I love listening to you explain things you make things much easier to understand. If I was to critique anything in this episode, I would say using the term "systemic" racism is probably not very accurate. Because we have so many people from all over the world that live here and they are achieving what we would call The American dream. And I think that if our country was systemically racist that's deep that's deep-rooted racism you don't candy coat that when somebody from another culture or country or color comes in for a job they wouldn't get the job no matter how nice they were or how qualified they were, because systemic racism can't see past the person's ethnicity slash color if you will. And that's just not happening in this country. Hasn't happened in this country in decades. Otherwise we wouldn't have Clarence Thomas on the supreme Court or Obama elected twice as president. And those are just two very quick examples I have a ton of them.

[@PlatinumLemur]

I can only guess they'll take this comment down becayse they have a narrative to keep. It makes even more people vulnerable to isolation. I believe in the facts. I doubt they'll let people participate in such a conversation..just like a Margaret Sanger supporting institution. Girl Scouts of America & Planned Parenthood.

[@globalmedia3130]

Oh Susanne, your country is based on cheap (free) inmigrant labor, segregation, interventionism and fear culture. Nothing has changed in the last 200 years, it has just become politically correct racism and exploitation.

[@sonjag.8686]

When it comes to manipulation, Lori Vallow is in no way inferior to Daybell! She was already manipulating before she knew Daybell. Her brother is the best example. She manipulated him and used him for her purposes! And later discarded him. She don't believe in Daybell's theses. This is just a means to an end for Lori. Daybell has been manipulated by her!

[@miriamhavard7621]

Cult/ Cruelty. Goes together.

[@thenamelesskitty]

Whatever Dr. Phil is, he's not an interviewer. Who gets so prestigious and interesting a guest on, and then does most of the talking?

[@mariekatherine5238]

Not all cults are obviously weird. Those that appear outwardly “normal” but use insidious mind control are the most dangerous. They’re the religious version of a malignant narcissist.

[@redsox258]

Cough, mormons, cough cough?

[@michieldeblock8231]

Hi, I feel like it’s time for a new movement tho. We’re all human. We have this deep feeling to believe, to connect. Society is changing hard into something super individual. But I myself function better in group. The reason cults are popular is because… it … fills in the blanks.. in our nature. Happy holidays everyone!

[@FayAlexGG]

Believe in yourself. Appeasing other people will not matter because genuine people will be drawn to your authenticity.

[@Icantcomeupofaname]

Dr Phil! Please adopt Ryan as your legal grandson!

[@manicirishmonday]

anti-fa is also a great cult I hear, always looking for new members!

[@marthawhitehouse9838]

It’s obvious that MAGA is a cult and I’d guess you’re a member.

[@Talkagainindreamland]

i didnt realize there was only 45 views HELP

[@darrynreid4500]

Donahue, ah-huh. Now I know why my wife calls you "Phillip The Younger".

[@makdeonijatom]

Dr Phil, Please look into the cult of Emirates airlines, their employees behave like in a cult.

[@FairyLights4713]

anyone having audio issues? the video plays but theres no sound

[@NevaJWilson25462]

How do you get your friends out if the leftest cult.

[@ARRRGH480]

Having views you disagree with doesn't make someone a cultist. Grow up.

[@NevaJWilson25462]

When people obey their God the state and fake news lying over and over again about mask on mask off. Then they are brainwashed and it's a cult. Fake news tell people to jump and the people say how high. fake news tells people to let a stranger put a Swab of who knows what's on it, up their nose because, yes that's brainwashed cult. The news strikes fear into the people then they come in for the attack. The people fall for it and obey their leader.

[@KasumovMedia]

Whatsup! Or should I say Juice! Face to face marketing cult survivor signing off

[@heart8Seoul]

Thelma Box and the "Choices Seminars"- still touts her past connections with Dr Phil to make herself/her LGAT organization seem more legitimate

[@manicirishmonday]

The Democratic Party perhaps?

[@NevaJWilson25462]

Yep

[@ARRRGH480]

"Everyone I disagree with politically is a cultist" the irony is you're closer to being in a cult than those you're witchhunting. I pity your poor children. You're probably a bad parent too.

[@manicirishmonday]

@@ARRRGH480 I pity anyone who even talks to you.

[@solomonsong33]

You almost lost me at Oprah… cause she in a cult… but I’ll here you out… maybe 😂

[@joeygarcia6783]

Haha🥱🤣😂😅😂🤣

[@tag1085]

[@sebastiancaballero5218]
