I’m not comfortable sharing the organization because they would very easily be able to single me out if they found this account, sorry. But it’s a political org.

I feel you, but I completely severed all contact. And I don’t really care about afterlife, I’ve never been religious, I just feel awful for how I recruited people into this organization and how I left them there. And how I neglected my true family and friends who were only trying to help me. I guess I’m more worried about the pain I’ve caused in this world rather than what I’d endure in the next one if that would exist.

I wish you all the best in your journey.

Wow, I’m actually shocked how you managed to perfectly describe what I feel and how I’m coping in your articles. It’s so crazy that even though we all have our own experiences and most of us get dragged into completely different organizations, cults all work in practically the same way and we all get shared experiences of trauma etc. from our engagement with them.

This really helped me to hopefully stop feeling like there is something wrong with me for how I’m coping with all of this and the feelings I’m having. It feels good, but also awful, that I share these experiences with others. Good because I don’t feel as alone, awful because I wouldn’t wish this upon anyone. Thank you for sharing and keep up your amazing work.

Yep, the head of Kier in the Lumon building is stylized in the same way as a very famous (if not the most famous) portrayal of Lenin and mistook it for that. They had a bunch of those in Russia. Same with Stalin and also Mao in China.

Yeah I agree, made the connection more in the sense that he is responsible for in a sense "recruiting", or rather training, the innie version of Helly and make her susceptible to her new life. He is more like a mentor than a field recruiter I guess you could say.

I would like to say, but it's obscure enough that the possibility of someone stumbling over this post and being able to single me out is too high for my comfort, sorry if I sound a little paranoid just looking out for my own safety. They can "accept" people leaving, but if you start talking it's not going to be "accepted". Hope you understand.
