Topic : 08/24 The Family Cult

and you will never convinse me they didnt know it was wrong!!!!! no way in hell can any of thease parents say they did nothing wrong to thease children!!! i knew better than that at age 7,

and i relly do not see how thease parents even live with themselves today,

that guy jim didnt seem to think he did any thing wrong to his daughter, and i have to tell you it made me very mad to watch him sit thear and smile like he did when dr phil offered to get him help,

it was as if he relly didnt care about getting help he needed none he relly had no problem in what he did to his daughter,

damn how could he sit thear like he did, this is one time i relly wished dr phil had just got up and slaped the stym winding piss out of a man on his show, if ever i saw some one that deserved it i saw it today, and i could tell you aswell i for one would never buy any type of books or anything supporting a cult in any way, and i relly dont think jim is as uninvolved with his cult as he would have every one think he is, hes not a very good actor im my eyes i saw through him as i see through glass!!!!!!

Nobody knows what it is like growing up in a cult. I grew up in a cult that is still around, and there is way to much fear for past members to say anything to shut it down. And just like the people on the show today you grow up in such seclusion that you know nothing about the outside world. You are taught to fear anyone that could help you. I found that out after getting out that there was people all these years out there that would of helped if we would have asked. Little to late for that. So people that think cults don't exist THEY DO. Former cult member born into the cult and knew nothing different.

I was sexually abused as a child, and it has one effect or another on me my whole life.  I am now 52 years old, and a born again believer (for 14 years now) and when I watched today's show I could relate, and yet I couldn't .  I thought, God look at what they went through... so much more then I did,  and what I went through has had such an effect on me I can only imagine . . . I have had my battles with the thoughts of suicide!  I have not had a healthy sexual relationship with my husband and we have been married 17 years!  I pray for those dear, sweet young women and men.  How lucky they are to have you keeping an eye on them.  I wish that they could know that God has not forgot them.  That what they went through was NOT God!

maybe at the age of 5 years old you dont know whats right from wrong, but as you get older you start to feel things are wrong, and god gave you a brain to use to know who to fear and who not to fear! now weather you use your common scence or not is up to you,why dfo people who leave this kind of a life style keep thear scilence for so many years and not goin to the police with thear story?

i can get along with the worst kind of crimanals or the cream of scoitey just by using my common dcence ive done it  i know it can be done, no one taught me a thing about common scense,

i learned from god by following what my heart felt, your brain is a powerful tool all one has to do is use it! i do however know at age 5 to age 14 a child relly has no chance but after age 14 you do know whats right and whats not, if the cult you grew up in is still active you should have told on them after you left, by keeping your scilence you help them to abuse more children the way you were abused,people need to tell on thease groups and lead officals to thear hiding places,

        I am not a Jehovah Witnesses, but my sister is.  To call the Jehovah Witnesses a cult is harsh.  A cult does not want it members to talk to there family's if the family does not beleave the way the cult does.  My sister is very close to me and the rest of owe family.  She is the only Jehovah Witnesses in the family.  Before she became a Jehovah Witnesses she was on drugs real bad.  Now she only lives for God and I dont see anything wrong with that.  Now about the enforced ritual shunning.  I dont know about your family but my sisters husbands family are Jehovah Witnesses and his sister stop being a Jehovah Witnesses when she came out the closet.  His family and the other Jehovah Witnesses have not shunned her.  To compare Jehovah Witnesses with "The Family" is just wrong.
