1. Without children...
...no cult can survive.

They may not realize it, but they are perpetuating ignorance and abuse.

All cults must be destroyed.

2. What a bizarre little group of Stepford Wives they are.......
Why do they TALK like that, those high-pitched, uber-submissive little girl voices??

9. "Keep sweet" "Meek and gentle countenance"
blah, blah, blah

Although I did read someone else's post here about victims of abuse being emotionally stunted.

I think it's all of the above.

4. I honestly have mixed feelings. If the charges of abuse are true
action was needed, but if not this is tragic. It's such a sad situation no matter the circumstances. My heart goes out to the children and Mothers in this case.

6. After watching that, does anyone think these women wouldn't run right back into the compound
with their children in tow?

8. Did anyone see "unibrow" on Anderson Cooper? You guys know who I mean
Edited on Fri Apr-18-08 11:29 AM by Jennicut
She gave a tour of the compound, I think it was on Anderson Cooper two or three nights ago. She was the weirdest woman I have ever watched. The unibrow, the high pitched voice, the on the spot instant crying. I felt for her to not have her child as I am a mother of two little girls myself but it all seemed so bizarre and I have no doubt this woman is part of a cult.

10. .. and NO tears.
Edited on Fri Apr-18-08 01:06 PM by annabanana
An ex-cult member said they had been taught to repress everything and it took her years to be able to actually cry.
