well, since the poster admits it was highly exaggerated post, it's hard to take it too seriously. I didn't get very far (as he didn't get far in reading our site either) so neither of us really understand what the other is saying.

Nevertheless, the deductions the poster got from his/her 60 seconds reading here were pretty outlandish. Apparently, EVERYONE thinks they are innocent? Where did he get that from? I saw an awful lot of posts admitting responsibility, admitting guilt and being very remorseful. That's just the first point. Then he went on to site that everyone claims they had no idea what they joined - well, that's partly true. I thought I was joining a sold-out to the bible and Jesus Christian group. The girls even wore long dresses and sex was taboo. It was very much like a Pentecostal youth camp. So, he takes issue with that - how would he know? He wasn't there. Now maybe there are some who really did know, like "King Arthur" - he knew exactly what was going on, but most of us in the early days did not.

I should remind the readers that I am very sorry for what happened to those that were sexually abused at the hands of unscrupulous members of that group. I apologize for my part in it, if simply by being a member I contributed to it. I have said this a million times, but if it's not heard or choses to be ignored, I don't know what else to do or say as nothing seems to help. If it is blood that is wanted, I'm not quite sure how to deliver that.
