Wow. Thanks for sharing your personal journey.
I don't mean to be rude, but I couldn't quite get anything out of what you wrote. After a few sentences I had to resist jumping to another post, but I forced myself to read it and finally did it in 5 sittings, because I thought it was very gracious of you to reply. It was just a lot more than I asked for. I'm about the same age so it doesn't have anything to do with it. I don't mean to tell you how to write, but it was far too lengthy and scholarly, and veered away from what I was asking. I don't see why it was necessary to write all that, talk about power seeking individuals you met, quote cult experts, discuss scripture, name all those people and places, when you could have said it in 2 sentences: "On leaving I was still into communal living for a while because I was involved with a Jesus People type movement, but now I'm not. I got tired of being taken advantage of by people I meant to help."
Well, maybe something between 2 sentences and what you wrote would be great. Sorry if I'm offending you with this.
