I've had similar feelings too. But one day I feel one way, the next day another. Must be the Libra in me. This subject is, needless to say, an explosive one.

I was reading a comment on MovingOn from an SG, who has written some very damning exposés on Family abuse. This SG said: "Hey, I hate the Family as much as the next guy but let's not get carried away. I've seen a few minutes of these Cherub Wings videos and they're just cute animation for kids. Cheesy lovey dovey aside, they're harmless. I don't believe they're part of a grand scheme to white wash anything. If nothing else, the people working on them directly are just trying to make some money and do something decent at the same time. Call me mad but there's slimy bad and then there's the rest. We aren't expected to show them to our own children but they're certainly a step up from the KiddyViddys. Surprisingly there are some FGA's that take us seriously sometimes, people that do respect our plight and are somewhat openminded, but when we show no moderation in our criticism we're just as one sided as they are."

(The FGA's this person refers to are currently in the group. I find their comment food for thought.)
