From Veronica Love, 15 years old

My name is Veronica Love and I am 15 years old. I met Angela in 2001 when she visited our home for a week. I didn’t really get to know her in that short amount of time, but from the times we talked I thought she was a fun, bubbly adult who was cool to be around, not an abusive nanny. I’m quite disgusted with the way the media is distorting her memory, and turning her into some kind of horrid monster, when she was anything but that. But what infuriates me even more is that our apostates are trying to turn and use this for their advantage with the same old tactic. “I was abused!” “The Family International is an abusive cult, who is constantly abusing their children!” If I can remember properly this was used multiple times in the ’93 raids in Argentina, Australia, and France, where children were taken and examined by the governments. But guess what? They were released because their evidence was nothing but LIES.

I joined the Family when I was 8 years old, so I missed out on participating in these cases, but I did experience something similar in 2000. My father and an Uncle were put in jail in San Luis Potosi, Mexico, for “abuse” charges. I was questioned several times by several different individuals such as, the S.L.P. judge, two American Consuls, and two FBI agents, asking if I had ever been abused physically, emotionally, or psychologically. My response to all of them was NO, but just to make sure I was taken to a psychiatrist and given the full program. And guess what? She found that I wasn’t abused. My father and the Uncle were later released because again the evidence that was used against them was nothing but LIES.

I believe the adults that make up the Family International are honest, sincere individuals doing their best to train their children in the admonition of the Lord, in a nurturing environment, and at the same time trying to do their best to fulfill Mark 16:15. I feel perfectly safe and secure being around them, and have no fear that they would ever try to harm me, or let anyone else try to. I have lots of friends and I don’t feel inferior to other kids my age. I’m not lacking in anyways, there is always food, I have plenty of clothes, and I have a roof over my head, which sad to say many people don’t.

I have one last thing to say to our apostates, I pray for you. I pray that you’ll actually Move On, because your noses are just becoming longer, and you will eventually fall on your faces, and then the world will see that what you are spewing out is nothing but LIES.
