My Name is Michael Sooter, I’m 22 years old. I live in Brazil. I was born and raised in the Family.

For me it’s pretty pitiful how some of you (Apostates) can make up such atrocious lies about something that is so cool. The Family is the best place to be. I grew up with the nicest parents you could ever imagine, who only set me on the right path and I can honestly say that I was never abused or harmed emotionally, spiritually or physically.

I mean get a life! Chill for a minute and look at society today and the way kids are brought up in the system. I know for a fact. I left The Family myself for about 2 years only to realize those were the worst ones of my life, and that I would not trade my place in The Family for anything.

Of course there are things wrong in The Family, but after all, aren’t we humans? We all make mistakes, but we are all on the same path: the path that brings you real happiness in heart and spirit. I mean, I had such a good education that I could be making big bucks out there, but that’s not my goal in life. My goal is to preach the gospel to every creature, and to do the best I can to show people the truth which is Jesus Christ and I mean, that Dude did so much for me, that’s the least I can do for Him. And that I do with a passion, and none of you will stop me.

The thing that gets to me is how you guys can make up so many lies about something that is so right on, and deep inside each one of you know that. So come on, do something else with your life and let us live ours, because all of your efforts are going to be in vain! Take a look at what Acts 5:38 and 39 has to say. “If this work or this counsel be of men it will come to naught, but if it be of God ye cannot over throw it lest haply ye be found to fight against God,” and if that is your goal well then, God help you, cause I would not like to be in your place.

I live for Him and I do it with a passion, and I will do it for the rest of the days I live on this Earth. I trust that all things will work together for good, and that there was some purpose that this thing happened with Ricky and Angela. I just want to say one more thing: I love you guys and I pray for you often and you are all still a part of my family no matter what.
