You know, I reread my post, too, Ray. The way I was thinking and what I read was basically that when people in the cult get out, they don't have a sense of who they are. All our values were group values. Positive self-esteem and self-realization were not in the picture. I also talked about the need for neutral space, which you agreed with. I was also looking for people who related to what I posted. You felt things were quite opposite and that most did not get in a group of any kind, or something like that. Would that be accurate?
When you said that some ex-members that aren't christian seem to lump (whatever) together: All I can say to that is, that so far, via these boards, I have found about 4 people that I trust. They are all "Christian". All "Christians" don't think the same. I would say that on these boards, being an agnostic, I am in the minority. But I know the people that I trust who I have dialoged with via e-mail or phone feel safe to me, because I feel accepted by them for who I am. Would you like to e-mail me ray? Sometimes things get lost in posting here and there. You don't know me, and I don't know you. I am looking for support in some of my posts.
