Friends, this is a sad situation of a good man associated with a bad group.
Tim Peters is a long-time Family member who has lived for decades in South Korea. I've met him on several occasions while he was visiting Japan for various meetings in the 80's. He's a hard worker and, to the best of my knowledge, a bona fide true Christian. He has given his life to Korea and he has been a friend to me in the past.
I have no idea as to his present situation and his current status with TF. but I know he is a sincere man. What is sad is that because of his association with FCF and FCF's link to TF he now stands in jeopardy of losing any FCF support in the future. He also stands to have his good work tainted by the exposure of his affiliation with the FCF and, thus, indirectly with TF.
This is a case of 'guilty by association'. His hard labor of many years could evaporate overnight just because of Berg's and Zerby's insistence to never yield to the truth of their sordid past.
Tim, if you happen to read this, I feel sorry for you and can only hope that you will, as quickly as possible, distance yourself from FCF and TF by coming out publicly and condemning their lying and evasive tactics and twisted doctrines. You might just be able to salvage your work of many years there in Korea by going on the offensive now and taking a hard and good stand against TF before the media unfolds your association and your work severely damaged, at the least, or totally lost, at the most.
I would like to say to all current Family FGA members that they seriously consider their longtime relationship with Maria and Peter. Rising up to condemn them now and to demand their abdication from leadership and either totally disassociating yourselves from them or voting in new leaders from the grass roots, people true to Christ, might be a very wise thing at this point in time. It is not too late to turn things around, to realize that you've been hoodwinked and tricked, deceived and used.
Tim, I love you and hope that you are doing well and continuing to fight the good fight of faith. --John
