I remember that there were people that left the family and got treatment at a place that had lots of literature from the family, or might be able to connect you with someone that has left that has this. The url is: http://wellspringretreat.org/
I remember the letter on homos that came out. Just from memory, it was about Berg saying that in times where women weren't available, it would be okay for men to have oral sex with men. Like if someone was in prison for example. (For persecution's sake, of course..) Woman to woman sex was allowed and continued to be after the FFing started. But Berg also said that this was to be 'allowed' as long as the woman did not become exclusive to women.
After the Homos letter came out, there were people that had gay male tendencies prior to the family who started having relations with men. There was a lot of controversy and probably some serious flack from somewhere within, and Berg then wrote a letter acting as if had written the letter homos as a test and he then condemned those engaging in male homosexual relations.
I would be interested in knowing the interpretation of what actually was going on with Berg when he wrote that letter and why he did a 180 on the issue.
