This is a wonderful blog entry by a woman who left a controlling, evangelical, fundamentalist, extremist group.  Very good!

Thanks for sharing ... I like her spunk!  Her blog on food and drink is great too.

It reminds me that I need to gently reach out to my son who is in the cult ... to acknowledge his process as I had to go through mine too.  He has such a great heart and is a true seeker, that I know he will figure it out.  I can't force feed him my view point ....

btw, I have surgery tomorrow and could use some prayers (a complication of my Crohn's disease) ....
