Welcome

What you read here are true, first-hand accounts of life inside an alternative religious group. What we went through may seem incredible to you. But keep in mind, we were normal, every-day people. Just like you. And we never thought it would happen to us, either.

What Was I Thinking?

Ivan sent me an email where he relates something that has helped him put things into perspective and helped him when he met the invariable question, "How did you fall for that?" You've probably come up against this yourself when you try to relate your experience to others (if you do.)

It's based on Tony Robbin's take on our Basic Human Needs. I meant to look it up but Ivan gives a good overview. Enough to whet your appetite anyway. But if you find it interesting, do some follow-up reading on it.
