That's basically correct. Be careful though with Szimhart. He is
a disgruntled ex-member and so-called exit-counselor, the new
name for deprogrammer. His writings sound reasonable--though some
in a better position to know think he is inaccurate--but his
actions
are aggressive and because of that has had problems with the law.
