I applaud all of you for your comments here ... Karen... It irks me to no end that m trampled on our sincerity and earnest desire to become a truly selfless servant to the "lord"(?) as you have described. I think all of us in our own way... naively allowed his abuse to grow, Until we had had enough. Thankfully, that is past us now, and life can continue.As for Jonx... sadly he is a prime example of one that is trapped... cornered.... and can only find fault in those of us that have had the courage and realization to leave this cult behind us.
So very nice to read your post.
