I was a long time ago, when my mother was with a group that is considered a cult now, but wasn't when we were in it. We left before it got difficult to get out, like now. :)

@MrPerditus1 Sounds pretty crazy. Did you have to flee into the woods in the middle of the night?

@TheFlippantSide LOL no, just load up the car and get on the freeway to head south from Los Angeles back to San Diego.

@MrPerditus1 Oooh. Scientology?

@TheFlippantSide :D 👍️, but it wasn't as bad then as it is now and we never knew anything about any evil aliens. Have no idea when that cropped up, but thankfully we were gone by that point.

@MrPerditus1 It's a good thing you got out when you did. 😬

@TheFlippantSide Yeah, but I will say one thing and ONLY one positive thing about that time. The first course you take is called the Communications Course and honestly? It did help me. I was rather shy and withdrawn, but after that one course, I was more confident and able to really talk and listen to what others have to say. I might have learned it later on in life, but I was miserable then and it helped. Other than that, all I have to say is they are some crazy, controlling nutters. 😵
