HI LITTLE GIRL.
Like others have expressed, i am saddened by thinking of how you must feel. The conduct of the elders you describe is no surprise to us. The hate they project towards those who disagree or challenge them is unbelieveable to those outside this org. Unfortunatly hate only begets hate from the victims also. Although it is fully justified on your part use it to destroy any lingering beliefs in the wbts and don't let it destroy you. The many people on this site have all experienced something similar. I found that using this site helped me a lot. Just knowing you are not alone in this is a big help. Keep in touch, ok?
