Charlie,
I just want to say something to help clear up the issue: Yes, I was once deceived but there are differences between people who are deceived. I, and as a matter of fact some other people I know have not participated, aided and abetted in a home, or as a matter of fact PROMOTED the sexual abuse of a minor, without even having to mention TORTURE. I could not see myself offering my daughter to a pervert (over my DEAD body)
(Read Mene's story and others )
I and some others I know were the ones who had a very hard time in the Family and were in trouble often for not being yielded to what seemed to be utterly nonsensical. I abhorred this kind of stuff and could not possibly do that to a child. I was not waiting for a way to be more "revolutionary," I was just trying to survive and keep close to my kids until I got out.
If Maria instead has been doing, teaching, promoting all this stuff, she is tantamount to a criminal, and criminals belong in jail. THEN, after they are taken to a place where they can STOP harming others and teaching people to harm others, especially children, they can work on their spiritual condition, their 'salvation' or count on my cooperation to 'pray' towards that.
Until you recognize crime for what it is you may not have the strength to actively stand out against it -- this is not a case for 'forgiveness', it is a case for outrage and retribution, legally and in every other way.
Just because we were all deceived once does not mean that we were all deceived the same way, that we are all the same, that we were all the same, and that we are to be lumped in one single lump. This automatically erases the degrees of distinction that exist among individuals and that contribute to the responsibility and accountability for one's own actions: if the actions are criminal, that is what it is.
