I was a little surprised at how James was attacked on the Moving On site. Any FGA who posts on that site has to run the gauntlet, I guess.

My husband and I were frequently in contact with WS people and they pretty much disgusted us. Most of them acted very secret and special, and they were always very well taken care of while the rest of us were really struggling. They were so out of touch with the rest of us, but after visiting any field homes they would write recommendations to Maria. WTF?

What was really infuriating was whenever one of them lost their precious job and they had to come to the real world and witness--OMG! It was just death for them.

So this guy James lives a pampered life in WS all these years, and then when he leaves he gets a severance pay, yes, I guess I'm a little pissed. When we left we didn't get a dime, and it was only a miracle we got to keep our van.

But all that aside, I applaud James and his efforts to discredit the group. It took guts for him to post what he did. I think we should all remember, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend."
