Oh yes. I've also been looking at this very interesting pattern that cults very have in common. Sure justifies most every crime you can think up.
So where does this pattern come from? It seems to be stamped into the mental levels as a trial to get through-- which many of us have accomplished (whew, wasn't easy). Then we can turn around and hopefully help others make it through. Of course we are "deserters" and "haters" and must, must, must not be listened to. But, one single "deserter and hater" is more powerful then the entire cult from which he/she escaped as the whole cult must now have the same mindset from member to member regarding this "deserter and hater".
My gawhd, they're scared doodooless of us.
One of their greatest fears: We inform the uninformed thereby cutting off their supply of new victims to vampire upon.
