Is there any other spokesperson except, Borowick?

Posted by Chaka on September 11, 2005 at 00:03:19

Just out of curiosity, how long will Clare Borowick last in her post as one of the few, or only spokesperson for the group. Others in the past got exhausted and left after the intense and hard defense for TF on the behalf of their leadership, defending the risky teachings, and the abuse in the group. Some folks like James Penn and others came out in the open and voiced their reasoning of their leaving the group, and some have not. Did some folks leave purely for the reason of taking a break or, to support TF in different ways? However, in either case, some folks may still have to take a stand for, or against, TF and its leadership. Did any of these spokespersons ever realize what they were getting into?

Cult apologists are another story, they speak their opinion without endangering his or her position, and their opinions are just an opinion. But people ever associated with the group who have benefited from being in the particular "circle" have more obligations to defend their "group", whether they are still "in" or "out".
Is there any other spokesperson existing in the present day for the TF? Is there any male or anybody else from the cult administration? Are the King and Queen themselves, or any "administrators" available to come out in the open and speak to the public?

I'm interested in the first generation who was deeply involved in the architecture of the group, and have kept supporting and helping to hide or forget the truth of abuse and corruptions from its own members and their children; not the second generation.
It's the very first generation in my opinion that is accountable. Who is left in the group willing to be the next spokesperson for the ever-in-hiding-leadership of the last remnants?
I had to ask myself a question when I was deciding to leave the group, "Do I really want to defend these people?", it's harder to leave when you've got a family and children, you make many compromises, but the signs were everywhere and you do come to that realization.
And once you made the decision and are out of that strange cloud and the feverishness and farther away from the grips of the misconception, you are more certain that you want to have nothing to do with them. Except someone will always have to hammer the last nail in the coffin.
