Are are starting to sound like our cult leader to be quite honest.

The one who didn't allow you to talk to the opposite sex, or to watch TV, or listen to non Christian music, or to think for yourself, or to question the way you were being treated, and forced it all upon everyone with threats of cruel psychological punishments. I am like him am I?

In a way you are enforcing your personal opinion about what constitutes 'psychological abuse' upon me, as if only you are entitled to an opinion and I am not. That is pretty much the same thing that is done in a cult is it not? Maybe you are not as free of indoctrination as you might seem to think.

I have placed no restrictions on you.

I have not deprived you of anything.

I have made no threats.

I exert no power over you.

You are free to say and think what you want.

And you are not a child.

How am I like your cult leader?

Are you or are you not trying to enforce your opinion of what constitutes psychological abuse on me?

Are only you entitled to your opinion or am I entitled to mine as well?

Go through the list. Which 'cult leader type things' am I doing to you? Have I placed restrictions on you? No. Have I deprived you of anything? No. Have I made any threats? No. Do I exert any power over you? No. Are you free to say and think what you want.? Yes. Are you a child? No.

I don't see how I am like your cult leader in any way.

FMF: When you bear in mind the words of mine it was in reply to, what do you now claim the sentence "It's one thing to get out of a cult but it is another thing to get the cult out of you" means?

Such as lying, for example...

Don't be ridiculous, this is an internet discussion forum where you are anonymous and operating under at least two online identies, either of which you can and have ditched. Grow up.

Oh have you forgotten? I asked you why you twisted my words to mean I was damaged?

I have answered this. I exert no power or any restrictions over you and you are free to think and say whatever you want.
