Hi everybody. Supposedly this could be a topic in which I can write a few lines. In recent months, it happened to me twice, that ex BKs that have not become totally "anti BKWSO", commented about their previous involvement in ways such as "nobody forced me to cross their threshold or stay. It was my responsibility ... etc ...". If they feel at ease with this closure, fine. They don't want to make their lives complicated, they prefer to move on and ignore their past of enculted members by denying any possible brainwashing technique and aim.
To me, this attitude seems not different from sweeping the dust under the carpet. Each one of us is different and, hopefully free to admit or deny whatever.
Personally I am grateful to this Forum and God that helped me open my eyes and see how close I had come to become a zombie myself and how my thirst for spirituality and innocence had been exploited cunningly by a sect.
This Forum produced plenty of evidence of such dynamics, backed up by experts in sects, psychologists, etc ...
Plenty of reading material is available here and, in my case, I am glad I invested time in studying it. I also highly value interacting honestly with others and see how all of this related to my personal experience.
My healing and exiting required a lot of work and unravelling and is part of my spiritual journey. Sometimes hard but pleasurable and beneficial. I'd rather discover new things everyday than freeze, come to a standstill or be locked up in certitudes like a fossil.
Hugs to all.
