After reading responses to the thread "They're coming for your children" there seems to be a commonality amongst some of the members of ESMB.
Looks like even while still "in" many of you would not allow your children to b recruited.
What were your indicators when the recruitment attempts happened?
Had you heard "entheta" about the SO?
Did you feel your children were too young to make a lifelong decision?
Did you want your children to experience the "WOG" world so they could make an informed decision?
Any other reasons such as education, etc...?
As an EX who now has a 12 year old child, I know what my reaction would be to the recruitment process at this time. Reading the posts makes my blood literally chill and the hair on my arms stand up.
I'm not sure how I would have reacted were I still indoctrinated into the group think instilled by the cult. My impression is that I may have allowed it in order to put group think ahead of my own better judgement. Gosh, I sure hope I wouldn't have done that!!!!
