I don't know - I guess mental trappings is just something I understand, it's just a mental conditioning that bugs me. I wrote a whole post down below to MG that maybe you could read so I don't have to repeat all that I said. I told MG about how we were out litnessing with the kids one day and some lady told the manager what we were doing and we were escorted out. I guess you could have called us foot soldiers just trying to earn a living, you could call us on the outskirts at that time, but we were still living the lie, we were still hanging on by a thread and we ended up going back into the F. full speed ahead and even worse things happened to us when we returned. The thing is, this lady stood there and looked at us with quite a look of concern and disgust. I know she was thinking what rotten parents we were and she was concerned about the children. Of course, at the time I looked at her as the enemy (as much to be loyal to my husband and God as anything else) - chosing to believe Berg's mantra. But deep down, it spoke to me and never quite left my subconscious. Sure, sure, we moved on to another spot, we kept going and sure, sure, the F. looks at stuff like that as a unifying factor to bring them together. It wouldn't matter what happened, they'd make some sort of martyr stuff out of it and claim it was persecution. Heck, if their check bounces, it's the anti-christ working through the bank. You can't try and pussy-foot around that mentality, you have to meet it head on and hope that you've destroyed enough of the lies that the truth pokes its head out. We're not dealing with Afghanistan here and killing people, for heaven's sakes, what an analogy. We're talking about exposing fraud and releasing some very fine people out of bondage to WS and leadership and Berg's evil doctrines. In Afghanistan, Al Quada is a minority in the population, this is a whole different scenario.

OH, and BTW, there is nothing PC about this board, I fail to see how that applies also. Yes, we have a definite mission statement and we make no bones about it, there should be no confusion there, at least I would hope not. But your opinion is welcome here, this is not a restrictive group, of all things. Why would we want that, after coming out of a group that restricted any opposing viewpoints. However, if someone disagrees with you, I would hope that you would return the courtesy and realize they have a right to their opinion and not come back with some retort that you are in the minority and this board would not accept it as being PC - I never saw that being played out here. I may be a moderator, but I still have an opinion which I like to express, if that's ok. Again, read my post to MG below and we can converse some more maybe with a better understanding.
