I've said all I have to say for the time being, save for a few random thoughts...
A reader commented about Bob's followers who enthusiastically enjoyed a particular movie, but then did a 180 within one minute when they left the theater and heard Bob say he didn't like it. I witnessed this phenomenon many times. These are the "independent minded" people Bob writes about in his books.
I intentionally omitted my personal story for a couple reasons. In order to avoid legal harassment, I didn't want to make my identity any more obvious than I already have. And I didn't want this to come across as an airing of personal grievances. I may change my mind at some point.
I've heard from a number of former cult members who have expressed appreciation for the blog. That's very gratifying.
I hope the day comes when more members come to their senses, and maybe even tell their stories. Especially the inner circle old-timers. Nobody has their depth of knowledge. They're all old now, and it would be a shame for that knowledge to die with them.
I'm pleased to have learned that subversive thought is more pervasive than the Firestones are aware.
