Hi Anna, Good to hear some of your story. I first heard M speak in 1973. I started exiting the cult in 2003 but made the final "decision" this year. I think the biggest thing that demonstrates the changing atmosphere to me is your comment about an event being like something out of the Stepford Wives. The event I walked out of in 2003 had that atmosphere and it was actually creepy to me. I could not stay in my seat and was glad I was sitting on the aisle for an easy escape.
