Thanks for explaining that, because I really didn't know. I understand that being friendly to individuals is different than looking at the family as a whole, but my concern, and this is just my feelings, is that who was capable of individual thought in the family? Do you defend the family's interest in squelching the letters that uncover the abuses in the family, over exposing this for the sake of the many victims? Especially since the family sites call victims of sexual abuse, pedophilia, etc, exagerators or liars when they blatantly lie about stuff except when there is no way around it and then they try to minimize the hell out of it? I am asking about your personal viewpoint on this, because I don't know it. I believe you post honestly about how you view things, when you say you see yourself on the other side of the fence with a rope (towards those still in).
