Rob Nanninga Biography

Rob Nanninga is one of the most popular and richest Writer who was born on August 6, 1955 in Groningen, Groningen, Netherlands.

In 1976, Nanninga got involved in a skeptics discussion group in Groningen via a school project of the college. He told them he knew how Uri Geller bent spoons. In the same year, the American skeptical organisation Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal (CSICOP) was founded; its magazine Skeptical Inquirer also attracted several subscribers in the Netherlands. Around 1979 Nanninga’s interest in sects grew, and he visited several of them with his working group “Opkomende religies” (“Emerging religions”). It was in this club that he met his girlfriend Jolanda Hennekam.

In the early 1980s, Nanninga performed an experiment with a Transcendental Meditation follower, who claimed to be able to make a floating jump of over a metre, starting from a meditation position and without pushing off the ground. Nanninga requested him to jump from a plywood plate that was lying on marbles onto a mattress half a metre away. The test subject, who beforehand claimed that the meditation gave him a “flying feeling”, was confronted with the hard truth that one cannot push oneself off of a rolling plate.

After the publication of Nanninga’s piece, the GGD and social service decided not to refer new clients to the IVG for the time being, and several more ex- students came out with complaints. In a new article in the newspaper Trouw of 18 March, Nanninga provided new evidence from a series of former clients and employees. Because of the commotion, the IVG decided to set up a self- appointed commission to investigate potential abuses (the Inspection for Healthcare refused to investigate the matter because it did not recognise the institute), but Moget’s new boyfriend and spokesman Vincent Schochron declared beforehand in the very same statement that the institute, having dozens of clients at the time, did ‘nothing wrong’. Moreover, Moget sued Nanninga for defamation and slander, demanding financial compensation for causing “material and immaterial damage” to the institute. The court in Groningen rejected the demand on 15 December 1995, because it concluded Skepsis had not been unnecessarily offensive or grievous, and Nanninga had backed up all of his claims well. Moget had to pay for the legal costs. After that it became quiet surrounding the IVG; the authorities did not undertake any action, despite attempts by ex-students to have it shut down.
