Worried for Friend
My friend and her family are being lured into a religious group that is really a cult. They are neighbors so we are getting a front row seat to the madness.
From what I've read and also seen IRL, they are heading towards Inevitable, Eventual and Sudden hurt.
They don't really see us anymore as I think they have been "warned" about me. (Because I won't join and ask too many questions I think!)
She posts stuff about the Organization on FB in the group's lingo and it turns my stomach. I know her really well and can tell that she's doing more posting in direct proportion to how much she is getting negative feedback about it. So in a weird way it's a good sign (more people are fighting this and for this family), but it still makes me cringe!
Am all "What will happen to this family??" and "What can I do now??" (I've tried everything, and short of spiriting them away on a three week cruise and hiring an exit counselor, I'm out of ideas). Lost two night's sleep worrying!! Even though the fallout might not be years/decades from now.
Sorry for the bizarre post. Anyone else gone through something like this??
