Carmel,

Ok, I guess that's where we differ. I understand that Marty has his way of running his blog, and it's my understanding his goal is to help new people get OUT.
(I don't see him as "the third messiah there to protect the scam").
Many of those people are not ready to just 86 the tech,
and frankly, many wouldn't leave if they had to give up
the tech, no mater what you or I think of it.
I've told people the same re the "Freezone" for years.
I'm not a part of the FZ---but I sure support it. Why?
A) the "church" is what supports the serious abuses.
So once they're out of there---they stop supporting those
abuses. And remember, many people "in" would NOT leave unless they had some access to 'the tech", once out.
Marty's blog is one key place that helps people such as that, and they have friends they can connect up with, talk to, etc. As you know, it's a *huge* leap to leave C of $.
Loss of friends and loved ones can be seriously painful.
Ok, we can say, "Well, We did it, why not others?" And I say, everyone is different. It's a bit like losing weight:
For me, Weight Watchers worked. For many, it didn't.
For me Atkins never worked, but I know people who swear by it. So I finally, over years of learning about weight, food, nutrition, realized something very simple, yet very startling for me: DIFFERENT PEOPLE FIND DIFFERENT THINGS THAT WORK FOR THEM. *IF* it works for them, enough said, as long as it isn't harming others.
I feel the same about "the tech".
B) Once out----THEN and only then, those that used to be "in" are out,and by the nature of being OUT--can read, lOOK, listen, and make up their *own* minds.
Does that help at all to understand and answer your question? I hope so.
If not, fill me in on which part I missed.
Best and Happy Tuesday to you, lass
