When we lived with Watchman was so long ago I may get some of the specifics wrong. I think what had happened was that Shaul and Abiah or somebody had him sent up from Guatamala or Costa Rica to our place in Monterrey. He had been on his own for ( I think) several years and did postering and helped me rebuild our van's motor.

Of course for him it was viewed from a totally different viewpoint than mine. I thought he was the most carismatic and "fun" Family person to be around and was always awed by what he was doing and had accomplished with his singing and other projects.

I have always been a boring handyman guy and he was always on center stage. I could never hold a candle to him and felt like we were just a place he was put until someone would decide to send him on some great mission

I am sorry for what we put him through and cheered him on during his time fighting the Family in different places. He was a an artist in the true sense of the word and the Family really screwed him around esp.in Japan and tried to put him in a little box.

I repeat here I was very well acquainted with the Victor program as I was on it for 5 or so months until they asked me to leave. Ahlai and Ado or somebody thought it was best for me to be on silence restriction from my family basicaly indefinitly. So yes I can say I am acquainted with what a Victor Shepherd does to people.
