I just checked it out briefly. It's very well done and I am glad she has put it together. I'll read it more carefully later, when I have more time.
It pisses me off at all the maniacs out there using religion to ruin people's lives. It is surely a crime. My daughter called me the other day. She was very upset. She was watching some sort of documentary or show about a woman in a cult whose child died because she didn't feed it enough. She was in some sort of cult and they coerced her into breast feeding only, even with people watching her and all. My daughter was upset at the way the prosecutor was going after this woman. She said, "Don't they understand what it's like in a cult?" I told her there isn't much awareness out there right now, they are still blaming the victim. It takes time for people to understand the whole dynamics of it. I mean, it wasn't until recently that the courts didn't understand women being abused and blamed them. The mentality has changed somewhat now, thank God.
