Lorna and Bill Goldberg: Fifty Years of Helping People Out of Cults

I often find it hard to believe that this year marks my 45^th anniversary of freedom from the insidious cult indoctrination of the Moonies. For the 40^th anniversary of my deprogramming, I wrote a blog to thank the people directly responsible for the intervention that liberated me. As I reflect, there have been many people who have played significant roles in my recovery. Now I wish to acknowledge two extraordinary people–Bill and Lorna Goldberg. After a cult awareness meeting we all attended in Westchester, New York, we met in the parking lot. I was still on crutches from the near-fatal Moonie van crash I had in 1976 due to sleep deprivation. (This accident led to my deprogramming.)
