Hi Flower:Mindchild is right about developing a truth-detector. A very large percentage of people who come out of cult A go direct to cult B. Feels comfortable. Feels familiar. Feels easy. The surety of having "the" truth is seductive...and wrong every time.I served for some time as a cult deprogrammer, and it was amazing to me how many people I ran across that had done as described in paragraph one, above. They had gotten out of the JWs, only to get involved in the Seventh Day Adventists, or the Mormons, or the First Full Gospel of Jesus Christ, Snake Handlers. Or some combination of some wild belief systems. All characterized by the same kinda approaches.I think it would be a big help for you to help solidify your freedom to get online and look up CULTS and CULT CHARACTERISTISC and other such search items and read all about them and get to know them as objective realities. And I always recommend reading Eric Hoffer's "The True Believer." If you want to avoid falling into traps, it's good to know what they look like.Congratulations on your freedom. Wonderful, isn't it? Worth protecting, too.Francois
