I think Bunny is right - I at least cannot look back at my time in the cult without finding some humor/humour in it, or at least being a little humorous about it.

I express my humo(u)r in a typically British self-deprecating way. The irony is that not so long ago I would have used those same phrases and meant them seriously. For me, it is a measure of how much I have shaken the cult from my bones when I can say those things in a spirit of total sarcasm and British-style cynicism.

Take care - coffee is a wonderful thing, although naturally for me it is tea that serves the same function!
