FAMILY VALUES

I’m a second generation member of The Family International. My
attention has been drawn to your article about our missionary
movement, in connection with the suicide of Ricky Rodriguez ["Killing
Myself is The Only Way Out Of The Cult", May]. Some of the statements
published there are quite misleading. The presented “fact” that “for
many years cult members had virtually no contact with the outside
world” was surprising to me. I’ve lived in over 15 different
countries, and had substantial contact with the local people and
cultures. Mine has been a beautiful and happy life thus far, not only
free from abuse, but filled with a “world education” that few have
the opportunity to enjoy. I would want nothing better for my own
future children.
