This is tough to read...and comprehend...how could this happen? This tears me apart to the point I can`t type.

I guess I should bump my own old thread. Much has happened since I wrote this, I can't believe that I used to be scared of speaking out. Yes I paid a price in some ways yet I gained much peace and the courage to maintain my integrity.
Bold mine.
That is so cool, FTS.
How about an update to your thread?
An update? Crikey, there's years of posts in between. I'd have to go back and think and pull it all together. It's a project though!
Okay, maybe not ALL the stuff in between but what I'd personally find most inspirational is where years ago you might have thought one way and acted one way but later did not, or times when you felt your integrity was really tested and you chose the more difficult, but far more rewarding, path.
I'd love to read how things got better later, like an aftermath/conclusion and maybe others would, too.
like somebody said a few posts before - how did I miss this thread until now?
I have seldom read such a moving SCN story, with much that I can relate to from the 70's and 80's. Even recognise a few names.
Also much of the self esteem issues mentioned and the putting up with abuse made sense to me.
As others have already suggested, you should write a book about your life in and around the cult.
A mesmerizing read, thank you for sharing this.
Hi FTS
Hope you're doing fine (the best as possible)
Glad to see you! :wink2:
