I am trying to appreciate your point of perspective but it just ain't that nicely stowed away for me. I really can't elaborate, but the fact is some people's children got fucked by older male members totally with berg's delighted encouragement. Others were prostituted through berg's lying dreams. Some were physically beaten and forced to pander on the streets for years on end. Some got so worked over they never recovered and are dead. Who will speak for them?

I believe in live and let live to a point. As you say you have been out for eight years. That means approx mid 90's. Did you read the devil hates sex and other such letters? I mean what did you think was happening as a member? These are questions I have. I know someone who was there with Berg from the start and said the sexual shit was happening from the very early days. I am really trying to understand your perspective because real people's lives were destroyed by the family's practices and it is hard to believe you don't care. I mean FFing, sexual sharing and sexual contact and physical abuse of minors was taught, encouraged and practiced by Berg and the family. It did not start a US phenom. It started outside of the US and was and at berg's orders was spread by family leadership around the world before the USA. Many of the abuses happened in countries outside of North America. In fact family history points to Berg getting very pissed off at North America for taking so long to get into all the sexual liberties. Leader's heads rolled for slowing things down in North America.

It really has nothing to do with rattling my cage or some other convoluted faulty logical construct of mine. The family practiced organized sexual and physical exploitation of children. This is not theory, or supposition. These abuses were founded on a recorded doctrine the family taught and carried out for years. There are no 'whatever' ends here. Someone rapes a child or sexually exploits children, such as having them video dancing naked for the sexual gratification of adults, they should be held to account. I just do not "catch the drift" of your meaning. Are you saying the abuses did not happen or they don't matter? I mean you seemed to be ready to speak out for setting the record straight on an issue regarding family history. What say you about these issues? Are you saying as the British civil service says, NMP, not my problem, old chappy, best be on my bike. ?

Oh no, Tell me it isn't so!!
