Quote From: drcoosa

It's about what happen years ago. You all keep talking about how great it is now. We are talking about abuses from years ago. Their distance however, does not make them any less valid. You say you believe children are a gift from god... fine. But when we were growing up some Family people including you leader and his childcare workers obviously though children were a gift from god to be enjoyed sexualy. I still have not seen a Family SGA respond to the quotes from Berg excusing sex with children under the age of 10. Are you sure you want to start making comparisons to the Catholic church? To begin with they don't have any doctrines that say the following." ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS!--NO.2 DO 1270 9/82 6. QUESTION: ALSO, WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT ADULT BRETHREN LUSTING SEXUALLY AFTER CHILDREN UNDER 10 YEARS OLD!--Francis & Summer Sonrise; USA (Note: We have received several letters from concerned parents re: "unapproved" sex with young children--without counsel or knowledge of parents, usually done by single brothers. Any comment? TY! Love, Sara D) ANSWER: I think we've said enough about this in the Letters. But it's sad if the poor single brothers have to resort to this because of obvious sexual deprivation by older sisters! BERG The Catholic Church had and probably still has a problem with pedophilia. The difference between your CULT and the Catholic Church is that they don't have writings advocating adult child sex. The Family does. So one can argue that if you prosecute the rapist and abusers in the clergy and then set up a system of reporting, and pay nearly a billion dollars in reperations to the victims it might help to clean the stain that has indeed come over the church. In the case of your CULT, to date, nothing of any substance has been done. Your CULT is still being run by the same pedophiles that were responsible for our abuse. You are still sending 14% of you income to support a leadership run thru with pedophiles. When we are given access to the Family's files, when the Family helps us to investigate every reported case of abuse no matter how high it reaches, when the Family tells us where the abusers are now residing, when the Family is forced to pay the victims for their suffering, when the Family proves...not just claims, but proves that all children are far from known pedophiles, when we are able to see our rapists and abuser behind bars where they belong, when the Family stops blaming this all on the victims...then...and only then will you be able in any fairness to even hope for legitimization. Until then, you sir, as a young SGA in the Family will unfortunately have to bear the shame, inconvinience, difficulties, "persecution," and disruption to you work resulting from the criminal sexual perversions of the first generation of Family members from 10, 15, and 20 years ago. You wish to be free to do you missionary work. Might I submit that you job as missionaries would be much better acomplished without the large "millstone" of first generation unrepentant pedophiles draging you down. Coosa MD.
