It Wasn’t Like That

By Dan, 25
February 13, 2007
A friend recently pointed me to the transcript of a TV talk show on The Family. They thought I’d be interested to see the comments made by Davida about her life and childhood in WS–probably because I shared the same lifestyle to a certain extent. My parents were WS workers when [...]

Responding with the truth

From Perla Wells to Houston Press:
Shame on you, part two: When I read this last article about “Family Ties,” I felt angry and voiceless. I’m a second-generation Family member, and I work as a volunteer missionary in Eastern Europe and teach courses about the Bible and active Christianity for no reason other than “The love [...]

From Deborah Forsberg

My name is Deborah Forsberg. I’m 28 & have been raised in the Family International. I don’t feel that I have in any way been sheltered or abused by the Family. I had a very good childhood, one that I know many of my counterparts that didn’t grow up in the Family envy. I got [...]

To Dr. Phil and all those involved

Hearing and reading about such slanderous outright lies is hard for me as a 24-year-old fulltime member of The Family International. I still can’t believe that people would stoop to such low measures and means to demonize and bring others against a group of individuals who have dedicated their lives to helping others and bringing [...]

Letter to China Lamattery from Tina Yamaguchi a current member of The Family

Dear China Lamattery,
I had a hard time believing it was you when I heard the accusations made against us on the Dr. Phil show last Monday by members of your husband and his family. I didn’t know them as well, but I know you. I grew up with you and I am [...]

From Sophia

I cannot believe that you would have the guts to air a show like that! I know that you do not wish to hear the truth, as it has already been offered to you, but I will give it to you anyway. I don’t care whether you listen or not. I am content with sharing [...]

From Shawn Lindsley

Let me start this by saying that I am not a member of The Family. I was born and raised in TF. My wife and I moved out of Family homes in 1999 and gradually dropped contact (besides a couple friends) and even partial membership.
People criticize members of the Family for standing up for themselves. [...]
