I’ve been an active member of the Family for almost 3 years and fellowship with the Family Home in my city, where I participate in the Word classes and social events. Whenever we can, my girlfriend and I go to the Home for fellowship with our brothers and sisters.

I was told of the very sad situation that happened in January and I was very shocked, especially after hearing that so many lies were coming from former members of the second generation.

Since I’ve met the children and young people in the Family I’ve realized how special they are and what a wonderful upbringing they’ve had. The teaching that the parents in the Homes give to their children should serve as an example to any family in the world. It’s ridiculous to imply, much less accuse the Family of subjecting their children to any type of abuse.

The children in the Family are taught to think and they have the right to choose what to do, contrary to the way children in the world are taught, where the educational system manipulates the kids since a very early age.

I believe the Family is no doubt the church that is best prepared to face the Endtime and to serve the Lord during this period. For me, there’s nothing like the Family, because I’ve never felt so loved and respected in my whole life.
