What does this have to do with the Dixie Chicks? ;-)

(BTW, glad to have Elizabeth reunited with her real family)

So why didn't she run? Family members say the teen-ager never had a chance to escape. "She said there was no way --"

She had two people with her at all times," family spokesman Chris Thomas said. But wait, wasn't Mitchell in the slammer for 6 nights in San Diego?

Yeah, I hear you about her opportunity to run, but when she answers the cops about her identity with "Thou sayest"? What could possibly motivate that other than that she had been disciplined to respond in that way. She's a young teenager under the exclusive influence of a false profit. The Bible teaches that many wiser than her will be so fooled.

One of my primary daydreams is to live off the land in a place like the hills outside of SLC, Utah, and I have done this with great success a few times in my life. But my "Elizabeth likes living in Nature theory" comes to a crashing halt every time I look at those pictures of Mitchell and Barzee! If I saw either of them while I was living out there in the wilderness, I would have been runnin' outa there like a jackrabbit!

I think that the interesting question here is what makes some people, like Elizabeth, more vulnerable to brainwashing then others? Although it's been a few years since I was a fourteen year old girl, I can assure you that I would have escaped Mitchell unless I was under the influence of drugs. I am not blaming Elizabeth or her upbringing, I just wonder what the dynamics here were that made this possible.

I also wonder why some can be influenced so strongly and other not. Does anyone have any info on the psychology of the cult mentality? Who, i.e. what kind of people, does a Jim Jones succeed with? Forget the koolaid tragedy for the moment, who would pack up everything and move their family to Guyana? What are people seeking when that is the answer?

Something else to consider in the "why didn't she run" issue...having been married (but no more) to a woman who survived six years of sexual abuse from her stepfather, consider the line that he used on her: "If you tell anyone, I'll kill you and your sister."

...But she continued to lie about who she was when she was in the police car.

...what makes some people, like Elizabeth, more vulnerable to brainwashing...

Some people are trained to follow authority figures, spiritual leaders, etc. without question. Those people are probably more susceptible to mind control by the lunatics. Children should be taught to question anyone who tries to control them and have a reasonable basis for accepting control. Don't accept candy from strangers. Don't accept spiritual advice from raving maniacs. I know, that could put a some "preachers" out of business but it's still good advice.

And she was safe when? In other words, until she knew she was safe, that she knew she'd be reunited with her true family, she'd maintain the cover. I don't assign any blame to her.
