Hi JMJ, hope you are hanging in.
Thanks for airing your views.
I think it is a waste of time to try and goad abusers to step up to the plate. They generally don't have much remorse for their offences, particularly serial abusers like Berg and other family members. What do I know about abuse? I was abused by Catholic clergy in the 60's. The arm of the Catholic church that abused me declared bankruptcy rather than let our lawsuits connect to the Vatican. Even the pope refused to see our delegation to avoid connection. They are doing it again in recent cases.
Do yourself a favour and get the survivors of TF abuses to go to the US government and swear out charges. ASbuse across state lines and foreign areas are federal matters. Victims of crimes must swear out complaints. If you push hard enough they will act. They have a constitutional obligation to do so. There are a lot of Non profit agencies and individuals in DC and elsewhere that would assist you.Try to find a pro bono constitutional lawyer to help you. Contact the senate and push the issue. It took 25 years for my case with the Catholic clergy to come to the criminal courts.
I already apologized in detail on moving on for my sins which were not criminal or sexual in nature. Our moral failure to stop Berg before he got started was a real failure. I left the family over the Davitito book on the day I got it. As others have said, Moving ON was quite clear that they did not want FGA presence. In nice terms they basically told us to 'piss off' so we did.
Before you start throwing rocks at all of us on a general basis you should make sure your stoning the right people. Hit the individuals that deserve it. Also don't strain yourself to get on my case for telling you how I feel because I won't respond. I really did not even want to respond to you but Ricky's death was a real blow and makes me very sad. When you have already been f*&%+d over by the Catholic church and the Berg vampire there is little further damage any human being's words can do. I have been on the fam's enemy list for well over twenty years so you are not alone in your anger.
By the way I spent a career in the child protection system and offered to help Sg's with no real follow-up or consitent interest. It is a mystery to me why SG's would not want to access knowledge resources in their fight against Berg and his legacy. As a Vulcan would say, this is illogical.
Seeing as you gave me some advice in your post here is some for you. Get some help with your anger before it consumes you. Believe me I know what I am talking about as my own anger pretty well burned my life down as a young man,[ I is a cranky old fart now ].
PS> I really mean you no bad feeling but your post was pretty intense. Anyways, have yourself a calm day and good hunting!
Sincerely Rocky
