Yeah, that would be him. It is sad that the fam. would turn people that would otherwise not trick themselves out, to become prostitutes(and some men too, by the way), and to see guys that would not otherwise be molesters be encouraged (and some women too by the way) to be child molesters. That to me is a huge tragedy all the way around. When I knew Eman it was for a brief time in Essen and before the Ffing rev or child molestation (at least known limited type to top leadership). He was pretty out there at the time. During my years in the family I saw a number of people snap (psychologically) and felt like I was on that threshold myself before I got out. I am so very sorry to hear about your sister. I left before the jumbos/combos/ schools for 12 yr olds to become adults started. But it was being formulated. I guess that was in the nick of time so to say.
It also is clear that the stress related diseases that strike the fam. in relatively young ages (heart attacks, strokes, cancers, etc) is more truth that the core of the tree is toxic and poisoned and the branches better graft in some place safe for survival and recovery.
I realize there were some that relished their positions and were perhaps perverts from the get go. Especially if they were led to the family after the FFing started.
I am glad to have survived it. Anyway how are you doing these days? And how is the Aikido coming along? (What belt now)? What accomplishments. Congratulations on getting on with life.
