Have you ever considered writing something about what a legitimate missionary organization would be like? I ask because one of the biggest obstacles to people wanting to leave The Family is that they're been so indoctrinated that to leave is to "backslide on God" because of the teaching that The Family is the ONLY place to serve God.
I find it odd that someone could leave The Family, heal the sick, preach the Gospel and literally raise the dead back to life, yet The Family would sneer down their noses at them and still call them churchy backsliders.
Yet there are many sincere Family members who would leave if only they could be convinced in their hearts that to do so is not backsliding from God and understand that there are many other legitimate (and even better) places to serve God.
