you say you don’t need counselors…well you seem to recommend books written by counselors…so I think those recovering from cults need counselors either in book form or humoan form…preferably both

Well, if you had read more careful what I actually wrote in my blogs, you would have known that I always recommended ex-members of cults to read books on cults and post-cult recovery. I think that ex-members of cults may not need a therapy or counseling, but they may be benefited by self-education through reading books and other literature about cults. Thus, my position is that post-cult recovery is the process of education, not the process of therapy. Many professionals in anti-cult field have (or had) this position, for example, Margaret Singer and Carol Giambalvo.
However, it is quite odd that your comment goes under my posting about free books on ICSA website. It looks like the real reason for your comment might be that you are against ICSA.

Well, looks like you really like to tell people what they should do, even if it has to do with their own blogs.

BTW, don’t you think that it is quite odd that you wrote 80+ comments in my blogs, but you always post them anonymously, using a proxy, and yet you keep telling me what to do?

Well, only a dummy would use such a proxy.
