I think a lot of you in responding to this post are dredging up the judgmentalism you were trained in as witnesses.

I think Slimboy makes a good point. I think there CAN be something appealing about the credulous fairytale world of the witnesses. And I think intelligent people are just as susceptible to cult mentality as others.

The key here is that once your eyes have been opened to the deception, I don't believe it's possible to go back. And with the mental freedom that you've gained, why would you want to?

An interesting thread, thanks for starting it.

Well not the NT but you know where I am Brinster. :-)

I'm sure there are lurkers, but if they're like me they won't come out and say where they're from. Maybe a PM?

Poor crocs get a bad rap don't they? Haha.

Hey Besty, I hope your luck turned this weekend, and you have just enough for a nice diamond necklace. :-) You didn't reverse your winnings from last time did you? Eeeek. Maybe the doghouse for just a little longer methinks. :-P

Seeya mate. Hope to have a drink or two with you both soon. :-)
