Do you remember how you felt when you got to that point? For me, I felt wrong. It took time away to shed the internal condemnation and realize God was not after me like a police helicopter with a spotlight to shoot and kill me for disobedience. I think it would be good to post how you remember feeling at the time that you left, and how that has changed in hindsight. I know that sexual stuff really started to take its toll on the younger generation after the point in time that I left, but what were some of the things about the cult that made some people go back, even despite the crap? Is it the weight of years of programming and what problems are there adjusting to the "system" after getting out? I remember that much of what I saw after leaving I interpreted with the family mindset still going on. I came close to returning because it was so hard on the outside, and there didn't seem to be any support for us all. There wasn't, without a cost, that I knew of. What fears play on people upon getting out? How did some of us get beyond those?
