Thank you all for your welcoming answers! Much appreciated. A couple of things... Even though I did not participate actively in ex-premies.org, after being aware of its existence and later having access to a computer, I read extensively in it. I also " educated" myself on the subject of cults in general. That was not difficult! The attraction to read on the topic was overwhelming. I read some books written by exes of other cults as well. Different gurus, different details, but same same... Very recently in a little cafe I had stopped in for a bite, I found one by an ex of Andrew Cohen. I devored the whole thing right there and then, along with my omelette! It is clear that after having been subjected to the cultish experience, we need to process, understand, and find resonance, one way or another, with the experiences of others. Just like for healing of abuse or trauma. So thank you for this forum. I am happy to be here. My other point though is the factor of fear. This forum like ex-premies.org forum was, is a public one. Anyone can read here freely. If not post. To me that is a big one. It was then also when I decided not to voice anything in ex-premie.org My children are now adults. They have come to terms with many things. Their father is still or rather back in it. In the PR soup. Exposing publicly is a matter for concern. I do recognize also that the fear which is holding me back is indeed holding me back more generally. Genny in her post mentioned her father. Who never made it back into "society". This brought sadness to read this. And also turned on a light. I did not really either. But then I never made it in even before Rawat. Thats what extreme abuse does I think. Does not mean you don't talk to people dont work or live in a cave. But there will be always that huge hidden shade. That divide that cut. And yes bringing it out is one way to come out of it. At least to some extent. I do admire and respect people who are or have done it publicly. Thru the publishing of books or other means. Fear still has me tied.
