Glad to hear your perspective as a member of Simon's church. I never knew him, but I did read the website that Mark originally posted here, and you can read how I answered.

Speaking as one who was in the same cult, and now a member of a mainstream church, it's difficult to know how much of our past to let people in on -- even though we might not have been party to some of the things that went on, and we are absolutely firm on the fact that the group's teaching no longer has a hold on us. I wish you, Simon, and your congregation the best.
