I understand completely what you're saying, but he said, she said, is still considered hearsay. Let's face it, one thing you should have learned by coming out of this cult is to question the validity of everything. If nothing else learned, learn to question.
Let's face if the family(can you imagine?-it should be the anti-family) has a lot of enemies, but let's be factual and have proof. Like the Bereans in the Bible searching the scriptures to see if what they were hearing was truth or a falsehood.
If you have followed these boards as I have you see a lot of crazy stuff people write. If you publish hearsay or falsehoods then what makes you better than they, (Zerby or Peter)?
I know there is a lot of bitterness and I along with a lot of other people here feel the loss of my time and youth. But, we are here (out of the hell hole of the family) and we certainly know better and the Lord our God has delivered us. But, certainly our hate and bitterness will accomplish nothing. The truth will set you free not some hearsay.
Although, I would say what was publish might have validity... show me the proof.
Believe me, God will deal with false prophets. Eze 13 and Deut 13. Read it, you will find out why God allows false prophets to be in this world.
Even getting angry and throwing a letter tantrum will not convince me and it shouldn't you. Question it, find out the source, see if these things are true.
I know a lot of people are in pain from this group. But, there is a still a lot of brethren trapped in groups like this too afraid to leave.
Ask yourself why?
