My best friend grew up JW. Although she never really believed herself, she played her part and even at 30 still won't tell her parents she's atheist. She just doesn't want to deal with the backlash from her family. From what she's shared she had a very isolated and lonely childhood.

This describes really well how oftentimes cults // cult-like situations aren’t necessarily “joined” in the way people imagine, they sort of just form, or people are trying to participate in an organization based on an interest. Separately, Alice Glass put it pretty well, too, with saying abusive relationships are a lot like being in a cult. This speaker describes the terror and the way it can make a person genuinely fear for their life very well
