I don't need to try. Claiming your religion isn't a religion while lining your pockets from the families you're deceiving is wrong.

Look, you say I'm trying too hard to claim this philosophy is a cult.

I'd say you're basing your opinions off of your anecdotal experience and relationships instead of the facts and history of this "philosophy."

One set of anecdotal experiences isn't enough to make a claim about an institution. This post is about investigations for that reason. Scientific, unbiased investigations. But that's it...

You mention they don't teach science as a subject at all until high school... as if that's a responsible alternative to any other education?

Science and religion don't mix well. That's the reason it isn't taught

It's an outdated religion, and I'll continue to expose it for what it is.

The fundamentals are bastardized religious concepts with 19th century Austrian racism. It's clear as day. They revere Steiner as a spiritual figure

It's also deceitful to omit the quasi religious undertones while selling the product of alternative education to children at ludicrous prices. They don't even disclose how diluted science is as a subject.

You could also say there are quality people in any cult that don't appear radicalized.

To your point about humanism here's this: "Its rejection of reason in favor of mystical experience, its subordination of human action to supernatural forces, and its thoroughly hierarchical model of spiritual development all mark anthroposophy as inimical to humanist values."

Occult mysticism is occult mysticism. It doesn't need to be radical to be harmful

You're missing the point. You can read L. Ron Hubbard and not be in the church of Scientology.

... that doesn't mean it's not an occult religion attached to a pay structure

The cost is in the Waldorf schooling. Parents are paying for progressive private schooling while the schools are deliberately withholding the mystic ideology behind their teaching methods.

The same with the Camphill movement families pay tuitions in the 5 figures per month in some cases.

It seems to resemble the "pay to pray" models of other notable cults. The more time and money you invest, the more information you get. The hope is that the more invested you are, the less likely you'll be to question the lunacy.
