I agree. I am one of the "children of the Children", and I don't blame my parents. I think sometimes people forget just how strong of a hold TF can have (and did have) on people's hearts and minds. Especially when they throw the Lord into the whole thing, and use the guilt trip. If you never know anything else, and are not allowed to explore any other options or opinions, it's hard to compare and know just how f**ked up TF is. Once out, it's hard to face just how wrong your beliefs were all those years. But I am of the opinion that many of those in TF for many years were sincere in believing that they were in God's Highest Will. When TF allows no outside contact whatsoever, it's another one of the tactics for keeping you in; by keeping you in ignorance.
