I wish Anneke had outright apologizied to this site for passing on a message to Grant about taking legal action against them for saying FCF was a Family front, but I do believe her post shows where she is at & what she tried to do. The following comes close to an apology:

When Grant was venting to me about being upset over a certain website I was trying to be a friend and made an off the cuff remark that I knew would satisfy him and that it would never come down to a court appearance. I am sure now I was wrong

Anneke here admits she made a mistake. I think it should be noted that she said:

I used to actually believe Grant when he would tell me how separate the F was from Family Care Foundation. I saw for myself it was the same thing, just with a new spruced up cover.

I knew from the bottom of my heart that this molestation was true and was so angry with them for basically throwing years of a friendship in my face where they couldn't be honest.

I knew at that point that any friendship I ever thought we had had never really existed and I felt like a fool.

Ron was furious as well seeing right through that.

By taking on Grant as a project we realized we had made a mistake and that he would never change his allegiance

I know the FCF does some good BUT it is still under the auspices of the Children of God and that is not good. I know the practices and the doctrines are the same as the Family.

Once I realized I had blinders on though, I knew we couldn't continue on.

I failed and lost a lot of people I cared about as friends.
