I found this anonymous post to be quite humorous, and a bit of a break from some of serious issues that the more sincere posters have dealt with so far.
I don't think that the posters are "wha, wha" babies. Nobody has been crying, as far as I can tell. Neither could any be considered "second class citizens."
I would love to expose the cult to the extent that I could rest comfortably at night knowing that another child will not be harmed. I would not need the glory for such a thing- just the reassurance.
The "right thing to do" is something each individual will have to decide. I've made my decision.
I am having a hard time getting my book sold, mainly because its on the back burner while I am working on an important project.
I agree that being seen in the public eye as a victor would be beneficial to publishing my book. Not a bad business plan. But I don't think that there are any real "victors" in this story- that is, I don't believe anyone who's had any experience with TFI has come out completely unscathed.
I do tend to work from my own perspective. I quit working for other's perspectives when I left TFI. I find that many of my perspectives are shared by others, as much as I share the perspectives of many others.
I don't "push" wrongheaded people. I may try to convince someone that my view is better. I wish that I had had that chance with my daughters as they were growing up.
I have always looked at actions as the determinate of credibility. I had some folks claim to be Christians once, then I took a good look at their actions. It seemed incredible that they actually thought that they were Christians.
God I wish I knew what my "Master Plan," "Agenda," and the likes really are. I do, however, have some very specific things I'd like to accomplish.
Be So Happy- I'm getting the impression that you just don't like me. I hate working on impressions, they tend to mislead me terribly. Why don't you be specific and tell me what's bothering you about me? Do you live in San Diego? I'd be more than happy to sit down and have a cup of coffee and just talk. It might make you a happier person to discover who I really am. The invite is open.
