Read it ALL. I started in 1992...for months did nothing BUT read day and night. I was in survival mode....took care of kids, slept, ate only when necessary and READ...went through a whole library in a few months. This time I was looking for specific things, after having read specific cult literature and books on the kind of fraud I had been conned with. Have not stopped researching since. I even entered the social science field to be able to be active in social psychology and find a voice to talk about these issues.

I think the "thawing" process is long and fraught with very intense, consuming, diverse emotions. It takes time to get the clear picture on facts and figures examining the testimonies of various people and then going back to the Letters. If you know what to look for, you'll find the 'right' evidence even there.

I know we are all at different stages, but for the ones of us who have come full circle is really hard to hang around people who are still very unclear as to the facts that occurred...that is why this site was created, to have a place with no ambiguities and much needed documentation.
