to make a big push on the internet which has been providing info they would rather keep under the covers and opinions they can not forbid, available for all to read.
How would they do this? One thing the fam. has done in the past is to make an appearance of sweeping, loving changes and target former members who were once "high profile" or who are critical of the family and have them rejoin only to spread on the internet how glorious and wonderful the family is (supposedly). Then it is back to the same-ole same-ole of hooking the people back in, giving them something, i.e. a ministry or position and then once they have forsaken everything, take it all away and deal with them. I remember when the fam. pubs came out to bolster the members that the fam. was "good" and look, even our enemies have come back, and aren't we loving that we accepted them like the prodigal son? But eventually, since they are on the wrong track, channeling oppressive garbage,those that are rejoining, or never really fully left to begin with will eventually learn again the hard way, that the leadership, being on the wrong track, cannot possibly take them where they really want to go.. Or if given power and limelight in the fam, they will once again wind up on the grinding mill floor.
