It took me three years, before I was ready to 'start' opening my eyes to how wrong the mindset of the family is.

When people first leave the family, it's usually quite difficult on them to accept the idea that they weren't pleasing God 100% by being in the Family.

I think Freeatlast would have to be an exception, as they made the transition a lot quicker then most I have seen.

But with the realisation the guilt does come, as you realise those 'doubts of the enemy' was actually God trying to convict you.

So even with Sara, it would probably be wise to deal gently at first. (I'm not speaking of those who actually have first hand abuse from her like Davidito and probably her daughter) When it finally hits you, it can be quite shattering.
