Jim, if you had read my posts carefully you would have noted that I said in a post above that THE primary purpose of posting URLs to Berg's & Maria's damning quotes was to get the truth out the the public. I am not at all discounting FGs speaking out.

A secondary side-effect of posting URLs is that those same quotes might open up posting Family members' eyes. As we all know, Family PR spokespersons have an extremly high rate of acquiring 'doubts' & eventually leaving the Family. But that is only a secondary effect.

For the record, I disagree with your statement: 'If one adult who witnessed what Daniel claims happened to him stood by his claim, then that would be more powerful than quoting some of the worst writing (Mo/Maria) that the world has ever seen.'

Eva's testimony is powerful & needed, but as one who has invested countless hours getting the sordid truth online for all the world to see, I think you are exaggerating to state that just ONE person like Eva speaking out is worth more than all the months of work I & others have invested in these websites.

Have you looked at the incredible resources under 'Articles' on this site, or read XFamily's resources?
