I don’t think we are hearing the whole story. Although I don’t know these people personally, some in my congregation know them. Ever since this episode happened over a year ago it has been unspoken in our congregation. I joked about it one day in field service and got the evil eye from one of the sisters who know the naked jws.
The judge is smart enough to realize these people are cult victims and has sentenced them to receive critical thinking training as part of their psychiatric treatment. I hope it helps them wake up and formulate an exit strategy.
