Sam, I imagine some people who have seen you go after Love's Bridge may now be happy to see some kind of muck thrown up about you. I don't, even though I feel your reporting was inaccurate, and that you should withdraw any portions of newsletters that refer to Christina or Jared or associate Love's Bridge with the Family. As someone said below, all newspapers have to print retractions from time to time.

I said below that to me the proof of the pudding that Jared and Christina are not in the Family (and that Love's Bridge is not a Family front) is because of the candid nature in which they openly renounced and spoke about the Family as a cult and denounced David Berg as a perverted old man. No Family member, however deceitful, would say such words. Or read Jared's recent open letter to P&M. Someone asked below, "Isn't denouncing the Family enough to prove they're telling the truth?" And I agree. It is.

By that same standard, I believe you when you invoke such oaths and curses upon yourself that you never propositioned a young boy, or anyone else for that matter. I believe that denouncing it in such clear, unmistakable terms goes considerably further than swearing under oath in a court of law, so I believe you.

You said something happened but not that, and apparently you made some kind of a public disturbance, so I'm maybe picturing you sloshing drunk down the street with your shirt off. I don't know. That doesn't bother me or concern me, if it's not the accusation in question.
