Obviously, it is not that everyone in is bad and everyone out is good, not at all. However, there are people in that ARE evil and DID mistreat people in a serious way. You're not trying to let them off the hook now are you? I didn't think so. There was and are serious child molesters, control freaks, manipulators that have done untold damage to many members and yes, they did mislead people, as much as it is hard for you to fathom, Joseph, it happens. Many of these people just loooved the group and all that it stands for and these very people are for the most part STILL in the F. and going strong with no one to stop them or put them in their place. Usually, the little trusting peons that were genuinely trying to do their best have left with their tails tucked between their legs and licking their wounds. I think the people that are still in for the most part have to be the ones without a conscience and some of the main perpetrators. As long as they are practicing these dogmas, they are practicing some evil and bad things, regardless of whether you want to consider them good people or not. I consider myself to have participated in some evil and bad things during my time in the F., maybe not as bad as some others, but nevertheless, bad enough and definitely things I am not proud of. These things are either wrong or they aren't. I really don't understand where you are going with this.
