Looking for Folks in Atlanta in 1977-1981
Hello,
I am glad to find this site! I am from Atlanta, and lived in a 'colony' there after the RNR. My name is Ruth, and I was married to Aaron Goldenlight.
Aaron was in the Family in several colonies in the South. I only lived briefly in one colony, and split from Aaron, as I could not accept the new teachings about
'flirty fishing, and so on. I remember Rainbow and Nathaniel, Terzah, Matt and Joy. I raised our three children on my own with my parent's help, as I recieved no support from Aaron whatsoever. It has been a struggle, and I would really like to hear from others, who have empathy, and similar experiences. It was difficult for me to go from communal support to no support.
Anyway, just wanted to stop by and say hello to all!
Ruth

Can you please provide me wwith more information about the colonies in Ga. during this time period? My e-mail is
[email protected] I believe that my family members used to be members but have no proof. All of the pieces fit. They are Larry Brown, Barbara (Brown )Gettings, with two children that are now grown. Was there a group in or near Columbus Ga. in the early 1970's? Please help me! Thank you!

HELP ME!!?!!?!?!? SO THERE WAS AN ATLANTA COLONY? I need serious help, I know I was molested as a child.
I can place things but it's really fragmented. Was there a group near the chattahoochie river - stone mountain
area, Atlanta GA sometime around 1983-1984. Did people live in straw huts by chance? I remember weird
stuff. I remember river rafting. I remember straw huts in the woods. I came across some old black and white
photographs too. I was a young child, I'm almost 30 now but I would have been 3-4 years old at the time.
Was pornography going on? Child molestation? I need some major help trying to put this puzzle piece in my
mind back together. By the way, I went on to be a prostitute in my life and I'm not sure why. Were these
people preaching about sex and God? I have some weird weird memories. Anyone that can help it would be great.

I'm going to cry if your post means what I think it means. Did the flirty fishing stuff happen in Atlanta?
You said "new teachings" was this new? Were the people in the group hippies? On drugs? I remember some weird
stuff. Please help me Ruth, I can't ask my mother she gets very defensive if I bring up that time frame.
I think she left NY and joined a cult in GA but I cannot just come right out and ask.

Was there a police bust by chance? I remember a police bust, I remember huts in the woods (they were straw), I remember river rafting,
I remember the chattahoochie river, I did some weird stuff throughout my life that I couldn't place why I was doing it. It was all related
to God and I'm not religious. I think I remember some religious teachings from my early years but my mom was not religious, she was
a hippie drug addict at the time who would join anything if there were free drugs involved. Were these people doing drugs? Hippies
beyond the 60's. I'm talking like 1980's hippies and also were there bands? I found some black and white photographs I had to hide
and take out of my mothers things. I was in the woods with men. Help please.
