This image of the helpless FGA stuck in a big bad cult forced to do horrible sex acts on children who come on to them, horrible things that weren't in their "wiring," is laughable. If it weren't for those FGAs, there would be no cult for the cult leaders to be cult leaders over. If it weren't for the money sent in by these helpless FGAs...all of you, those "evil cult leaders" would be homeless on the street. How was enforcment of Berg, Zerby, and other's policies possible if not for a commited members down to the lowest ranks. How hard was it to leave if you wanted to? Thousands of SGAs have left TF as soon as they could. SGAs who had no "system" experience, who had no job experience, and little contact with relatives.
All this talk of recruitment; after the very early days, those doing the recruitment were FGAs just like you. The revisionist history is laughable. There is generalized disgust with the FGAs on the part of the SGAs, because without the FGAs...there would be NO CULT! As abusive as Berg, Zerby, and Peter may be, it was FGA's who abused us. And we were lucky if we could find one we trusted. So to expect us to parse it out and sympathise that FGAs were ropped into a totalitarian cult and just had to rape us and abuse us is quite fankly hard to swallow.
If an FGAs life is miserable, good! It's not my fault. But it is all the FGAs fault for CHOOSING to be part of the group that (whether they agreed or not) destroyed so many of our lives.
