Wife Of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas Had To Leave A Cult Back In The 80s
Virginia “Ginni” Thomas is an American attorney and also a conservative activist. She married Clarence Thomas in 1987, who became an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States in 1991. What people didn’t know about her was discovered when a video of a young Virginia “Ginni” Thomas discussing what her life was like after leaving a cult.
The video in question dates back to 1986. This was one year prior to Ginni and Clarence’s wedding. And now, the video is circulating the internet. This has definitely changed the way people perceive Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’ wife. Now, people are looking at her a little differently for all the good reasons.
Ginni was a part of the Lifespring training group, which was a group with the purpose of assisting individuals in gaining self-confidence and achieving success in their lives. Ginni was part of this group from the early to mid-1980s. Some who joined the discussion shared that they were feeling emotionally and mentally pressured into joining the groups that they were a part of.
The video features a lady who looks to be Ginni Thomas talking about the challenges she had when she left Lifespring. The Lifespring group exercises included bullying their members for their weight and also forcing them to discuss their sexual experiences.
In the video, Ginni was joining a discussion with a group of people who had also escaped the cults. They talked about their experiences leaving the groups and how things are going in their lives.
In the video, she said, “When you come away from a cult, you have to find a balance in your life as far as getting involved in fighting the cult or exposing it. And, kind of, the other angle is getting a sense of yourself, and what was it that made you get into that group and what open questions are there that still need to be answered.”
She adds, “I want to expose Lifespring, I want to keep other people from going through that experience, but I also don’t want to go overboard in that regard so that I can reconnect with my own needs in a spiritual way, which I still haven’t done. All those things that got me to Lifespring are still there, and I guess I struggle with not going overboard and fighting a cult, but I know that’s important too.”
Ginni was a speaker at the said event in 1986. This group was organized and run by cult expert Steven Hassan. Hassan, who has written extensively on the subject of cults and mind control, released this video on Twitter.
In the post, he wrote: “I knew Ginni Thomas. Ginni Thomas was in a cult (the large group awareness training cult, Lifespring). Here she is in 1989 speaking at an event I hosted for former members.”
According to Hassan, he feels that Ginni’s involvement with the cult may help explain some of her behaviors in the present day. To be more specific, he feels that it will make it simpler for QAnon and other right-wing groups to co-opt her for their own causes.
Even further, he also believes that this may have been the chain of events that led to her participation in the insurrection on January 6, 2021.
