Hi! to you young oneand youth representive first.
My intention why I asked if we can help the youth trying to avoid them to enter any cult or weird religion wasn't to discredit the youth at all. You misunderstood me here. I WAS young myself when the cult gobbled me and used me to accomplish its staff's evil goals and I regret the fact I have been in that same cult a few years.
I would have liked a friend or anyone I would have met then to sit down with me and in a friendly way try to HELP me get out that weird cult before!
That's what I meant. No prejudice against the youth here. It's just a fact teenagers or young adults can have not much experience enough sometimes to be wise enough to know if a group is a cult or not and avoid to have any relation with it.
I don't say those who joined a cult younger were stupid aor insane or just weak, I just admit though that when I joined the cult which took over my whole life suddenly, I haven't been "wise" and "expewienced" enough to see things clearly and accepted somebody wiser than me, older or not, to explain to me in what mess I was getting into!...
I have been surrounded by youth, work with youth, and like to be with young people all my life yet.
When you will be in your 40's or 50's, you might at your turn then say you aren't old really and go climb the Everest as some do or even be younger in your brain and heart than "some" youth are. you will see!... A sign of youth is open-mindness... whatever age you have I believe. I have young habits myself and don't look my age and still do what much youth do. So is age really important? Saying how can we help the youth not to fall in believeing in a cult as a question here is just because in my heart I like the youth and do not want it to be hurt simply...
