| If you are presently on the email list, or planning
on receiving it, it is always wise to be very cautious about disclosing
detailed personal information to those you don't know, such as your last name,
city, home address, phone number, or emailing pictures of yourself. If you
do happen to experience problems, have
doubts about whom you are emailing, or end up
feeling worse, we recommend stopping the correspondence at once, even changing your
email address if necessary. Remember that you are in control. We began this list in order that exiters
might be successful in
connecting with others who have suffered similar experiences and to
give them a chance to share thoughts and questions, along with receiving support,
validation and
encouragement from others who are in the process of healing (or who have successfully healed) from a
deceptive, exploitive group.*
Please do not pass the email list on
beyond those on the list. If anyone wants on it, they need to email ESN
and furnish the required information.
Former WCG member:
I'd like to see more communication among us that have left and I think
in time that will happen as the years pass and more time has passed.
Former WCG member:
I've enjoyed contact with the
people whom I had the opportunity to communicate with. I hope they find
it helpful. 
Child survivor of WCG:
I passed a few emails back and forth with someone for awhile. I don't know if talking with strangers on the internet is the way to go, sharing personal info with total faceless strangers. Who knows what
their intent is? Maybe I'm paranoid. Please take me off the list.
Child survivor of WCG & former
member of PCG:
I
think you and the others are doing a great job. I wish there was
a way to reach more cult members and keep other people from becoming
involved. The internet is a powerful tool and your site I am sure has
helped many people including me.
Former WCG member:
The
email list is helpful but I tend to find ex-members, understandably,
just want to get on with their lives.
Child survivor of WCG:
I have made great progress lately and I no longer will need to be on the
list. Your site has been very helpful and has a wealth of information. I
have purchased virtually every book on your booklist
and have come very far. Thank you so much for putting up this site.
Without it I would still be struggling all alone. Thank you.
Child survivor of WCG:
I found
the email list helpful in the beginning, but now I look to see if I know
anyone on it. Others have started to email me from it and I love to talk
to others about their experiences. I think you are doing great!
Former WCG member and Impacted by PCG:
I have found the email list
helpful to be able to share things. I hope this year there'll be more
people be set free from bondage. Thank you for helping in this process.
Former WCG member:
I like having the email
list sent to me because I like to hear about others exiting.
Former PCG member:
If there is anyone who
could benefit from "chatting" with me, that would be good. You
never know who you might meet or be able to help.
Child survivor of WCG:
I have corresponded with some of the participants at times but would
love an updated list. I am happy to speak with any of them. I feel I have come along way since I first found your site. I still feel
a little lost where God is concerned but I am getting over the hurt and
anger of being raised in wwcg and it has been helpful talking to others.
Child survivor of WCG:
I haven't looked at it [the list] in a while to be honest with you.
I have received a few emails, usually from people who are new to your
site. We usually chat back and forth a time or two and then that's the
end of it. It is nice though, to be occasionally reminded that I'm not
alone. I enjoy the emails a lot.
