Hello, and it's great to hear form you again. I'm glad to hear life is going well. I expected as much, you always seemed such to a level headed person, planned and thought things through.
I think the cult forgets people vary tremendously, thoes who think things through and plan are always going to have a better time. I suspect that may be one of the reasons they are so quick to throw people out, they hope that they can't land on their feet and come ack begging for help. I ahven't seen this video yet, but I do remember the drama it is based on. I was totally disgusted then, so I'm sure this video can't be any better.
I still can't get over how it shows both brothers still living at home, they have such a hard time letting people grow up in the org.
The other thing that stands out to me is how they protrayed his friends, maybe Al wasn't the best guy, but he never gave ay other friends a chance, I know that the friends I have made since leaving would never trea me like that, and if I had a personal crisis they would not abandon me.
I described this drama at the time I saw it as very emotionally manuplative, the video sounds worse. Painting "worldly" people as uncaring is nothing new, this just seems over the top.
Again, good to hear from you, I wish you all the best!
