At the end of August, 2011, John M. Knapp, LMSW, my former cult-recovery therapist specializing in healing spiritual and cultic abuse, posted his Beware Ca*** W**** - Cyberstalker falsehoods on his then (now-defunct) non-profit website, thechsca.org, (The Center for Healing Spiritual and Cultic Abuse) and on his Facebook wall and others' Facebook walls, in an attempt to smear my character and in retaliation of me coming forward with my story regarding Knapp. In March, 2011, after Knapp opened his then non-profit, The Center for Healing Spiritual and Cultic Abuse, and began soliciting the public for people and for funds in the amount of $10,000, I went public online retracting my previous endorsements of Knapp. In May, 2011, I began coming forward publicly with my personal Knapp story.
Knapp had gotten in his head that he was being cyberstalked, cyberterrorized, cyberharassed, and that I had recruited others in a campaign against him. None of which were true.
What follows is a continuation of Knapp's delusional discussions on Facebook, the first of which he posted on August 25, 2011. He begins the following Facebook thread on August 26, 2011, at 4:50 in the morning. It is the second of five similar Facebook threads started by Knapp.
I would have been right with these commenters defending Knapp had the roles been reversed. I too, at one time trusted him and, when his client, had previously defended him on multiple occasions on the internet. At least one of the folks who responds in this Facebook thread had been a recent client of Knapp.
Within a couple weeks of August 26, 2011, Knapp turns on some of his supporters and they too become victims of his verbal rage and twisted accusations.
Around the same time that Knapp was engaging this online conversation, he was also being taken to small claims court in the city where he then resided, Malone, NY. A previous employee was suing him for non-payment. The court ruled in favor of the employee. Knapp was served the judgement and promptly skipped state. He never paid that previous employee. The judgement is still outstanding as of December, 2012.
I entitle this Facebook dialog, Knapp's "I'm-under-attack-and-have-the-FBI-at-my-back thread." I do not believe Knapp had the FBI at his back.
[Update with link: Knapp's license was revoked in January, 2014.]
