My interest in seeing The Family exposed is not as strong as my interest in not causing more pain and harm, as Daniel so eloquently presented. I would be more interested in exposing them by refuting their doctrines and policies but still separating myself from any direct involvement that will result in harassment of Family members. Some may say that it may not be possible in some cases because exposing their evil teachings may cause a reaction against them, thus calling it persecution, but it is still something I would try to avoid.
I think the truth will be better served by presenting viable alternatives to their way of life, which is, in my view, evil and has no redemptory value. For this reason, I would have never taken part in the Argentinean raids and therefore could not in good conscience call for a repeat of such in other countries.
Please don't think I am admonishing you to change your ways. As the song goes: You've got your troubles, I got mine. :-)
