You don't think deliberately depriving a child of intellectual stimulus, emotional stability, normal interpersonal relationships, and the means by which to think for themselves, is not a form of abuse?

...you are welcome to think I was psychologically abused, that doesn't change the way I feel about it.
"Well your unpleasant experience has certainly taken its toll on you in interpersonal terms as a conversationalist and as a promoter of your current beliefs. Your manner and rhetorical tricks are like those of someone who is still trapped in a cult."
Your reply was:
"It's one thing to get out of a cult but it is another thing to get the cult out of you."
What did you mean by that?

Originally posted by dj2beckerYou said "It's one thing to get out of a cult but it is another thing to get the cult out of you." and you have blanked out more than half a dozen inquiries as to what you meant. Presumably you now wish you hadn't conceded that information seeing as it is, at this juncture, inconvenient to you.
Did I use the word 'damaged' or are you putting it in my mouth?

Originally posted by FMFSo then do you admit that you did put the word 'damaged' in my mouth? Don't you think it is dishonest to use a word that I never used?

Originally posted by dj2beckerI am saying that when you say "It's one thing to get out of a cult but it is another thing to get the cult out of you" I interpret it to mean that you concede that you have been damaged by the cult. If it does not mean that, why not explain what you did mean by it? You have been asked to six or seven times.

Originally posted by FMFOk so you have put words in my mouth. Thanks for clearing that up.

Originally posted by dj2beckerI have done no such thing. I have quoted you verbatim: "It's one thing to get out of a cult but it is another thing to get the cult out of you". You can see the quotation marks.
