legal help

[JeffSjo]

I found a questionnaire at a cult recovery site run by somebody who is for real IMO without any control issues. :)

Legal help doesn't necessarily represent an answer for everybody, but if anyone is interested, I can hook you up with them.

I hope posting this provides food for thought if nothing else. Here is the substance of their questionnaire which they let actual, qualified lawyers look over.....
