This thread and those in it who are trying to "figure out" what's going on with "Love's Bridge" are getting on my nerves big time.
For anybody who missed the last battle surrounding Love's Bridge, I am a second generation former member of the Family. I hold no love in my heart for the Family structure or Family leadership and I despise "Family fronts", particularly when they use humanitarian work as a ruse to get money and con the public.
That said, why can't you just leave Love's Bridge alone? They've stated plainly and firmly that they are no longer members of the Family. They also stated clearly that they would be cutting their FCF ties in January of 2004.
What part of this picture do you have a problem with?
It seems that nothing is good enough for some people here. You do realize, I suppose, that financially speaking it probably hurt their operation to sever ties with FCF. They've done it, they've opened their own tax exempt project based out of Oregon and some people here think that stinks because these dedicated souls decide not to take money for the work they are doing.
Some of you first generation members who go about finger pointing and self-righteously trying to "figure out" exactly what's going with an organization that has nothing whatsoever to do with you remind me of some of the "aunties" and "uncles" I lived with while in the Family.
Let it drop. Why can you not just believe what you see with your eyes and what is written, without endlessly trying to read between the lines. Don't you have something better to do with your time than to banter around back and forth critiquing a group of former second generation members who are living in Russia at great personal sacrifice to themselves.
Oh yeah: And if you feel the must to go on a witch-hunt trying to ferret out Family fronts, do it to your own generation, not mine.
