My post was for all rank/ file that still are rank/ file but hypocritically come here, in secret, benefiting from it's massive amount of info and insight, not to mention documents, to plan their exit, yet don't share it with their flock, who they deeply care about.What an asinine statement. Your sweeping generalization infers that any who come here while still in the org, are either selfish or cowards if they don't proclaim it from the podium or post notices of websites on the bulliten board at the KH. Your statements betray a lack of understanding of how to effectively reach people trapped in a cult. As A.S. pointed out, acting like you suggested, only serves to distance you from the ones you wish to reach, as you now fit perfectly the position of angry, frothy mouthed, apostate that they've been told to avoid. There are more effective ways of reaching these ones, than a surprise and direct attack as you suggest. But these require patience and understanding which are difficult qualities to muster if you are still struggling with the rage part of your withdrawal.Of course, you did state your emotions were prompting your posts on this thread, and these are natural in greater or lesser degrees, based on your personal experiences within the org. This is a great forum to deal with these emotions and it is therapeutic to be able to vent and get feedback on these feelings as well, but that was not the purpose of this thread. This thread was aimed at newbies who are just starting to feel their way into the big, wide, world that exists outside the org.One thing they've probably had their fill of is that judgemental attitude that you've decided to share here. Perhaps you could start a new thread, through an informal survey, to test the value of your style of cult exit strategy, as regards it's effectiveness in helping others out at the same time.
