If the survivor was abused or held captive for a long period of time, he/she may feel that being free and not being controlled by another person is too difficult to do.  Having a human controller to decide what the survivor should do, think, believe, and say after his or her mind was shut down for so long can be preferable.   By looking to others to control his/her mind and life, the survivor might not want to relearn how to take responsibility for his/her newer actions and decisions. 

And even if the survivor wants healing is not that easy without proper professioanl help.  I can imagine what many ex-followers of Rawat are going through.  How can a person cope, heal? Is it possible for those who were deep in it to be able to have normal trusting relationships after having put all their trust in "GOD"? 

Mental illness my butt. I call it BRAINWASHING!

That's why I wonder how some of us can make it and just forget about it?  The top hat ABUSER is calling the survivors "hate group"? 

He is asking for something, I think.  Lets give him a hand.
