Report back from the International Cult Studies Association event in London

by nugget in

the icsa event in london was a day well spent although a little emotionally draining.

the event was well represented by ex jws who formed the biggest group there with representatives from both the uk and europe.

other cults discussed during the day were, exclusive bretheren, christian scientists, therapy cults, mystic cults, born again christian cults and some extremely scary mind control groups.

Hi Randy,

The ICSA mailed that out to us prior to the event, it's an excellent read.

My son was murdered today

by truman in

i have been on this site daily, almost from its beginning, since i left the jws in 2001, but i have been more of a reader than a poster, as you can see from my post count.

i know few here know me, although i know many of you through reading your posts.

maybe it is not right to ask for support, when i generally stay quietly in the background of this forum, but i want only to speak a human misery of the deepest kind.
