No dishonesty on my part. Go back and look what lead up to those admissions by you and how often you have repeated exactly the same behaviour. I stand by everything I have ever said here. You should do the same. I am sympathetic for you in that you spent most of your life being psychologically abused and deprived, but it's behind you now. You should take responsibility for what you say and for your intellectual behaviour generally.

I know exactly what I said and I know exactly what spin you have put on it and for what reason.

Me: "I lived isolated from the real world for more than 20 years. So maybe I am almost a teen in terms of experiencing the real world."

FMF: You have acknowledged that the cult experience has taken it's toll on your intellectual and interpersonal behaviour.

Other people can judge for themselves. You and I have made our judgements. It's all out there for anyone who is interested.

Look at the toll it's taken on you. As you said, you may have managed to get out of the cult, but it is another thing to get the cult out of you. Your words, not mine.

What toll has it taken on me?

The one where, even though you are a middle aged man, because of your cult experience, you are "almost a teen in terms of experiencing the real world", as you yourself put it.
