It has been suggested that Penn "start investing a portion of (his) time or salary (or both) into putting Zerby and Kelly behind bars."

Concretely what that might look like:

1) He could write more exposes about the structure of the organization for the general public and interested parties doing investigative work on TF; the whole WS structure & "selah" culture is a complete mystery to many people, including many SGs who grew up in missionary homes. It's a completely overlooked dimension in every study done on the Family.

2) He could support the justice efforts of SGs like Daniel & Ricky with private financial support and actively encourage others to support these efforts financially. There has been little discussion about how to fund the legal and investigative work necessary to bring Zerby-Smith to justice. He could open up discussion on this topic by offering to put some money in the kitty.

3) He could donate to Safe Passage Foundation on a regular basis.
