Absolutely, your sincerity ...

Like Pink states, we're still very much at a cutting edge of the evolution of human awareness and many of these cults operate in very primitive, tribal manners.
We still don't have the perfect antidote. Rather than an "Anti-Party" ...
as the BKs like to cast us ... I'd prefer to think of us here doing our alchemy as an "Antidote-Party" and this is why I encourage you onwards. Tf you can take the poison the BKs struck you with, turn it around and transform it, you or whatever you come up with should become a very powerful healer of others too. You'll heal without even knowing you are doing so.
If ... of course ... it does not kill you first!
This is a reference to the tradition of classical alchemy, which is worth looking at (in a metaphorical fashion) for its therapeutic value. It's something Jung and others referenced in their work. To be able to take the full strike of the serpent's venom and survive will make what ever you come back with very strong.
Once you've built up some immunity, you don't have to worry about them exploiting your personal boundaries ... you can walk into the snake pit and let them strike you time and time again without any effect ... then grab them by the tail and whack them on the ground!
