Accountability?

I am glad (here and in other places) that some people have left re-evaulation counseling and come to see how much harm it has and does cause. However I have been struggling with something. As someone who has never done it, and will never do it, the arrogance of cults (and this one in particular) seems to feed an illusion that the ends justifies the means.

In other words, if you have "good intentions" (or in the case of this nonsense - good politics), you are justified in your actions.

Maybe this is just a rant in general about cults, but I rarely have ever heard of people who left cults, apologize for the harm they did to their families, partners, children because of the cult. It just seems to be "I made a mistake and that's it," kind of rationalization.

I know I'm making a broad generalization but as someone who is too guilt ridden (in general), it's hard to understand. I hope this makes some sense.
