Just got this book from Amazon. Looking forward to reading it to see how related our experiences are. Other people on the Ambassador Blog -- Big Sandy , are reading it.
Whenever I'm made aware of something like this, I always hope that the right people will see it, and heed its message.
COG people just do not realize all of the work those of us who left them have done on ourselves, correcting all of the error and brainwashing and developing new skills, such as the simple ability to negotiate, and to challenge authority figures. Don't even get me started on parenting skills, or family relationships, healthcare issues, and prudent and productive investments!
I don't mean to trivialize the stuggles and historic suppression endured by those of specific ethnicities, but emerging from Armstrongism has certainly caused me to have a great sense of empathy for those who endured racism and enslavement, or holocausts/genocide.
