Re: Is There A Way...
MovingOn once set up an online forum like that. It was very difficult to get current SGAs to participate, but a handful did. However, they responded as if they were being attacked at the slightest mention of "child abuse". Eventually, all the Family SGAs walked off and only the ex-members were left, so the forum was taken down.

In my experience, the problem with challenging current Family SGAs is that they immediately become defensive, and hide behind the knee-jerk "religious persecution" argument without realizing that the accusations against them are not religious in nature whatsoever.

Another one of the problems is that many ex-members know more about the hierarchy and history of TF than they do. Most current members take what their leaders tell them at face value without actually going back through what has been documented and verifying those statements.

This is why, for example, Family members continue to insist that they "won ever court case". If they would simply read through the actual court documents, they would see that this is not the case. But few of them take the time to do that and blindly accept that their leaders would never tell them something that wasn't completely true.

it was just a thot. i wonder if there's anything else we could do that would appeal to them.
