   Dead wrong.  The people who have helped me have been compassionate
and kind without requiring membership badges, or sekrit decoder rings.

   They are interested because they care.  Not just to be part of
something your characature-ize as a Great Moral Crusade.

   So that means we who speak out against it are just perpetuating the
same behavior that got us into and stuck us in the cult.

   Very flattering picture you paint.   Part of your
"toughlove/getooverit" therapy, no doubt.
