You put it so well, said everything I was going to say, and diplomatically. Hats off to you. I wouldn't have had the patience. And if I did I wouldn't have had your knowlege and experience as a clinician.
Sam, while I admire much of what you've done to expose the F., I do think you could afford to equip yourself with some new information. You cannot use old strategies if you want to outdo an elusive cult that is improving on its methods all the time.
Sam, if exposing the F. is your occupation, full-time or part-time, you should at least bother to look into the legality and ethics of your actions. You should place yourself under scrutiny. There was a lot of useful relevant information in Anovagrrl's posts. IMO, you should bother examine the costs of your actions, before you rush into taking them.
Privacy is a serious matter protected by law. While it is a crime not to report abuse that you are aware of, there are still many situations where you have no right to "out" people, and many situations when the fight is not yours.
If I did not tell my employer that I was in the F., and I used some F. generated credits to fill in missing years in my resume, would you consider it your duty to "out" me because I hold a job based on a "lie?"
