campaigns for things like sending anti-Family literature to the directors of TV Networks that broadcast "Treasure Attic", mass mailing mall managers, etc.

Sexual and physical abuse of children no longer occurs in TF. In fact, Maria and Peter in 1995 were finally forced to admit that Berg was to blame. James Penn makes that clear in "No Regrets": "Essentially, Peter acknowledged that Mo, through his writings and by virtue of his spiritual authority and the position of trust that he held in the hearts and minds of Family Members, had literally created sexual offenders amongst Family Members. What an indictment."

I need therapy to recover from the 30 yrs I spent in TF. I've found support here and on other ex-fam member boards. It makes no difference to me if TF continues to exist as the quirky, weird cult they've become. So what if they've gotten 70,000 people to give them $15 for a subscription to get an Activated magizine once a month. So what if they've finally gotten "Treasure Attic" on the TV. So what if they balloon in the malls. There's a lot of people in TF that I love and care for, I don't see any point, and I won't support any campaign that would make things harder for them than it already is.

It seems a lot more important for the SGs who've been harmed, to bring the individuals who caused that abuse and suffering to the legal system to answer for those crimes.
