What happened to "Conviction vs Compromise"? Grass roots Family members need to hear about how Fernadez denies Cherub Wings is not tied to the Family. How he doesn't stand up for "The Family" name.

Just one year ago TF had to take 3 days off just to read and pray over Maria and Peter's latest strengthing and purging of the ranks with that long series of Conviction vs Compromise GNs. A big part of it was not to be ashamed and not hide the fact that you indeed are a member of The Family in your dealings with the public at large. Too many homes were calling themselves a NGO or a charity with names like "Healing Hearts" etc, and not revealing to their friends and contacts, that they were members of The Family. So there's pages of so-called prophecy about not covering up the fact that you are a Family member and that you need to make sure that your "work", or "charity", or whatever the activity is, that it is known as being part of TF.

Fernandez surely gets counsel from the top on what to say about Cherub Wing's affiliation with TF, so the guys at the grass roots level need to know about Maria and Peter's hypocrisy. I can rememeber how it cut off support and how our home lost a whole host of friends when word got around that we were F members, so to obey the directives of Conviction vs Compromise must have cost the homes a lot.

I can remember how it was published that the IVM was moving from Japan and was relocating as Sunny Side Up in California. It was in a Grapevine or GN. In other words it was a 100% Peter/Maria/WS sanctioned and financed project.

What liars. Maybe someone can find the pub with that notice about Sunny Side Up. It might be in one of those GN's where Peter goes through all the progress of the year that just ended and the changes in prospect for the upcoming year. I seem to remember reading about it early '99(?).
