Please keep in mind that I am not attempting to communicate on behalf of FCF. I am simply stating my understading and opinions after having visited the home base for the organization on a number of occasions.

That said...

I would be surprised if the FCF denied links to The Family. It is well known that their chief of staff is a member. I am also under the impression that most if not all employees of FCF are Family members.

My original reason for visiting FCF was to visit someone I knew who was a Family member who took a job with FCF. I don't know if it was a condition of employment that she remain a member, but I do know that once she left the Family, she was no longer employed by FCF.

Given those facts, I would feel confident in saying that there are links between FCF and The Family. I don't know how that could be denied in good faith. I don't know if anyone has ever asked that question of Grant, or if they did what his answer would be.

I do think that in the past, FCF had been equated with The Family on the boards, and I can see how Grant could deny that, since they are, in fact, a separate Corporation.

For example, my company works closely with the Los Angeles Convention Center. But, to say that we operate the Convention Center, or that they operate us would be an untrue statement.
