hi Chris,
welcome to the family! and just in time for yuletide...*smiling*... i found
your story fascinating, as i have been interested in cults for about 30
years... congratulations on the strength you've found to break free... it
warms my heart to hear about it... and i empathize with the remnants of your
struggle...
warmly,
percyval
