i seriously am working on the story, tho' i don't want to make it sound all that dramatic. (it wasn't charlton heston confronting the pharoah or anything..but wow..that woulda been cool.)i was in all honesty an emoyional wreck by the time it came to that. actually, my idea was to try to write about the process of recovering a healthy faith after leaving a spiritually abusive group. but once i got started i realized that was impossible w/o sharing my story. that is not an easy thing to do...many conflicting emotions swirl around so many events, and personal relationships are so hard to write about...after all, i really only remember most things from my own perspective... which esp. in retrospect may be colored one way or another w/ the help of time and the powerful brain mechanism that shape and store our memories. but just working on it has been an excercise in reflection that i have found helpful and rewarding.at times tho, it does feel like picking a scab.
i do understand your "battered woman" paralell.actually, the ministry up here (that i speak of occasionally) is involved in a former cultists trial and that plays a role in her defense.(her life has encountered profound tragedy.) in fact , would you please email me again. your insights might be very helpful.i don't have your email anymore...if you don't have mine please post yours here again. thanks.
