Acheick,
Thanks for the info. You are right. It is a trajedy that Toni was the target of this abuse, but continues to be a doormat in the fam. I guess it's like women who continue to put up with an abusive husband or boyfriend.
I read an article on a now defunct ex-COG web site, that told the story of the suicide of Watchman. A guy named Tommy Gun wrote it. In that article, he mentions Keda and Toni, and the "Girl who Wouldn't" letter. He also reported that in the aftermath of that letter, Keda had a field-day with the COG's straight female members. They were all afraid of being verbally whipped by Berg, so they surrendered their bodies to Keda whenever asked. Can you or anyone else confirm this account?
When I examine the fam's current rules at their web site, I see that they repeatedly stress that all sexual activity be mutually consentual, and that there be no cohersion. Okay, either their so-called phrophet of God was wrong to coerse his followers to submit to all manner of sexual perversion, or they are being disobedient to his commandments. Perhaps their no-coersion rule is just for public consumption, and in reality, the coersion is still going on today?
