Lily,
The abused child you refer to wasn't me because I never mentioned a word to anyone until I told my wife just a few years ago. Very disturbing for me because I do not recall all of the details. Perhaps JRs prayer came true for the wrong kid.LOL
Dan taught us law at the LTW school in DC and of course a child's view of cults and the like is very limited. At the time and even now I have no hard feelings for those people whom are/where, true believers, God has a special place for those that are led astray as I now believe we all were.
Very hard for a child to acknowledge that his parents, siblings and everyone he knew, were all duped for the money. I do hold a serious dislike for money and material possessions to this day. CAPTIALISM often turns my stomach. Stunning to me when I read thsee posts how much of what my mother taught us was straight from Johns mouth.
