In 1993 I finally got to see my daughter Sarah when she visited us in Miami. She told us later that she had to get special permission from Zerby to even visit me. When she visited she was accompanied by another member named Rose. There was no way that we could separate the two. Rose told us "Oh we're so close we're joined at the hip" or something to that nature. We told Sarah at that time that she was more than welcome to live with us, but according to her, life in the F was just great and she was in a singing troupe, etc., etc. and that she was a midwife and really loved it. We bought her a really nice suitcase just to show her we cared. Anyway in 1996 she had a baby and finally left the group and came and lived with us with her new "husband." As time went by and she found out more and more how the world really works she became more and more bitter about her experience in the F; finally accusing me of failing to rescue her from the group at an earlier age. I explained to her that 1) we had absolutely no idea where she was and 2) when we finally did see her that she refused our offer to come with us. None of this mattered. She is now 27 and hates every member of her flesh family, both in and out of the F. She has become a total hermit and will not communicate with any of her relatives. Really wierd. This is the fruit of the COG - quite a sour plum.
