"Well, all this had to be hard on those poor folks, losing their sister/daughter to a cult for so many years, then things ending like this."

Good point. I know that my family would've been completely devastated if I hadn't escaped and things had ended like that for me.

Back in '72 my parents were in touch with "Thank COG", an organization of parents that were favourable to TF. They were sent some kind of newsletter or newspaper article, but they no longer have it. I believe it formed to counter the FREECOG group, but I don't have any information other than that.

Does anyone know anything about that organization? Who founded it? How long did it exist? Was it completely independent from TF, or just a PR exercise on their part. I would be very interested in any publications they may have produced such as newsletters, or any newspaper articles about them.
