it had a resurgence in the '60s/'70s. So although it's possible that women who were small children during those eras might have been raised by Satanists and forced to participate in rituals, that would rule out women who are in their 40s, 50s and 60s now.

Someone who was 5 years old in 1960 would be 50 or 51 now.
Someone who was 5 years old in 1770 would be 40 or 41 now.
If there was a resurgance of Satanism during the 60s and 70s, people who are now in their 40s, 50s and possibly 30s would be the precise ones who would have witnessed it or experienced it as small children.
I don't understand your math.

Hopefully most of them are seeing therapists in addition to group therapy or online message boards. I know most of the women in the meetings I went to were also seeing therapists.

To clarify, if someone had been a child in the [b:c0df40fef9]19[/b:c0df40fef9]60s and [b:c0df40fef9]19[/b:c0df40fef9]70s, (when there was a resurgence of popularity for Satanism), they would be in their late 30s, 40s, or early 50s today.
You certainly can't claim that someone in their 40s or 50s could not possibly have had parents who were involved with Satanism because of their age.
There are undoubtedly more accurate reasons to doubt their stories.
I'll concede my typo, but your math is still way off.
