    It's been a while since I've posted, and I'm sure that there are many new ones here. So let me just start by saying hello and welcome!! Please read my original posts to get my brief story. Here are the links:

    So anyway, all previous attempts to speak with my husband about my doubts have ended up in a HUGE fight, with him asserting that somehow I'm not in my right mind. But last week, I delicately brought it up again, and surprisingly his reaction wasn't all that bad. He actually listened!! Could there be hope???

    I hope it works out for you. It's not surprising that he was shocked and horrified at first.

    Have you read Steve Hassan's second book, 'Releasing the Bonds'?

    Highly recommended. It will assist you with understanding how your husband thinks, as a result of the indoctrination. It may help you to avoid "triggering the cult personality", at which point he will defend the indefensible, etc.

    I'm in central MS, the tri-county Jackson area. It's good to see more apostates from the Magnolia State.
