The Family is wacked and because they know it, they can't handle anyone who actually knows them for what they are and chooses not to adhere.
If wacked - as it seems to me - means being downright crazy...well, then I disagree, cause Berg & TF believe IMO to "just" being crazy in the Don Quixotetype of way: different, "crazy" but happy...even more so,they really think, that they got more wisdom than anyone else or very few...if at all or they would be in TF....until 89 I had read all pubs, so that was the "official" line, to my understanding: Crazy, but happy & wiser than the foolish world, which would go down soon, plus reaping eternal dividends of a lifetime spent for the right cause.
From their - & mine decades ago - point of view it seemed absolutely stupid & foolish, to not adhere to that lifestyle anymore.And from mockers, weak sisters, unbeliefers, scoffers, wolves in sheepclothing etc.etc. you had to keep a suuuuuperdistance...
their fault, if they didn't see the glorious light of TF (never mind a few mistakes here & there), after putting so much effort into them..sob...plus some just were to weak, not even Jesus allowed all to follow Him...the elite- the spearhead-type of thinking.So either someone was to weak or dangerous to be around, too annyoing...TF had to protect their own, right?!
I believe, they don't know, what they really are
like, since they are deceived.If they weren't deceived, they wouldn't be in TF anymore, starting with some real "good" doubts ; )
