Mrs. Smith -
Thank you for your kind words. I'm most grateful.
I think this thread may open a can of worms. Brace yourself for some harsh treatment.
Well, honestly, if I get some harsh words, they are deserved. Anyone who follows WT teaching which puts little kids in harms way deserves harsh treatment. So, I can empathize with anyone who's frustrated. I am foremost among them. It was ME who was manipulated by the Org and I have to live with the decisions I made back then to support it. The thing I'm thankful for now is that I think for myself and know better. I can't change the past, but I can change today and tomorrow.
