Sorry I didn't see your answer to my post... I really am not on here much... But to respond to your question about why people can't let it go... let me explain something you may not understand.
When someone realizes that they have been deceived by an organization that they fully trusted with their lives, it is extremely painful. Everything you once believed now crumbles before your eyes, and everyone you hold dear shuns you. The normal response to this is a process that involves anger, sadness, depression, confusion and more. Your whole life is turned upside down as you try to search for answers. It takes time and a lot of effort to rebuild your life, establish new friendships and a new belief system etc. You see on this board people in various stages of recovery (and yes it is a process of recovering) This process can take years. Some on this board have recently discovered the true nature of the wt. They are justifiably angry, and express it here.
Many of us, having been through the process, feel we must help others because we know what it's like. We want to encourage them that things do get better, and they truly can have a great life outside the wt. You may not know it, but there have been some who have committed suicide because of the devestation that the wt has inflicted on their lives.
This is a place where people can express their feelings and be understood. They can vent and share their thoughts with others who have been there. They can ask questions and not fear reprisal. It is an important safety net, a place ultimately for healing.
You don't understand it because you haven't yet discovered what you are really involved in. When that time comes, and it will, you will be grateful that a board like this exists.
