I agree with this assessment. Public figures and allegations about public figures must be scrutinised. Love's Bridge appeared here because they wanted to correct the record on how they were involved with The Family. It is impossible for them to prove that they are not current members of The Family so it is a matter of good faith and honesty.

All of us know good faith and honesty are meaningless in The Family because "Deceivers yet true!" is a solid foundational block in their doctrine. As a result, we tend to diminish their value when it comes from Family-related people. Want it or not, until fairly recently there has been an association between The Family and Love's Bridge. It can even be said that the association still continues because of their involvement witht the Family Care Foundation (FCF).

On the other hand, many people who know their situation (LB's) a lot closer have vouched for their separation with The Family. This should bring in at least enough light to give them the benefit of the doubt. I hope we do.
