How time flies ..

I thought is was only yesterday when I was last here but I see that a few weeks have passed.
I have just been contacted by a TV director wanting to do a programme on how people leaving cults like the EBs find their identity. So now I am thinking about identity and wonder to what extent people raised in high demand groups develop a sense of an individual identity. Perhaps they don't. Reflecting on my childhood and early adulthood i cant get a sense of me knowing who I was. I seemed to be adrift in one sense and firmly attached to an amorphous mass called the brethren in another sense. Maybe my true self was the bit that was adrift - and I was living a kind of proxy self. And maybe it is those who manage to get a good sense of who they are before they leave who do better.

I don't know at the moment but it's worth thinking about.
