You said: "They had no choice in being born in the Family, they had a choice about coming clean when they left the Family, no matter how hard that is."

They had nothing more to come clean from. They came clean when they made their choice to leave.

You said: "Many young kids went through hardship during the persecution years. We were not after the kids, we were trying to help them and protect them from the Family. But it is a messy job and you just can't avoid some of these things. You have to set up your priorities. What is more important, your job, the sigma you might suffer, your resume or exposing this destructive cult?"

A person struggling just to move on in life is more important. You are a Christian aren't you? Read Ed Priebe's "Open Letter..." He did not agree with how the raids took place in Argentina. I can’t accept your "messy business" rationalization, in other words there's collateral damage, let the innocent suffer.

I wonder how many SGs, after all they're the ones who suffered the most, will agree with you. You sound out of touch with reality.

You said “. ...they were part of the deception the Family inflicted on that Governentment organisation and the American Taxpayers. They should had also come clean with the host country, Russia."

They didn't hurt any taxpayers and they helped poor starving Siberians.

After reading your position it's no wonder to me that so many ex-member SGs want nothing to do with FG ex-members.

Take into consideration that the Project in Siberia doesn't exist anymore. That Faithy is a poor suffering alcoholic who needed to be kept out of the picture by the people who worked with her. I heard second hand info that she was trying to get something going for Cuba, but other than that you don't have much to go on it seems in order to go after her exposing her.

IMO exposing any "scams" when it comes to Family fronts isn't going to go very far. Isn't it common thought now a days for people to look at just about any charity with a lot of skepticism? So many charity and humanitarian works a viewed as scams. In other words making an exposé: “FCF is a Family Front Scam!” etc., I wonder how much that really accomplishes? Even the valid, credible NGO's get accused of the same thing, people have gotten used to it.

IMO the SGs who have done the serious research & ground work to bring charges against guilty individuals, guilty individual leaders, to force them to give account in court is something that would be far more effective than anything else. If nothing else it scared Zerby so much she pooped out the Vandari prophetic idiocy exposing her madness even further.
