What I find most revealing are ther reasons you give for leaving TF: "I left the Family because I just couldn’t associate myself with the utopian ideals, fucking Jesus and with their general narrow-mindedness anymore, the endless prophesies that led nowhere, etc."
Not one mention of the horrendous abuses perpetrated against innocent children, but then you don't really care, do you? To that question of child abuse your only response is: "I raised six wonderful children, none of which ever experienced any abuse" as if that absolves you of any responsibility for those children who were abused. Wasn't it Family doctrine that all children were everyone's children?
You bring up the Ward judgement, saying that the reason he left the child in TF was because he was convinced that TF was changing. Can you not see that he too was deceived by TF in that regard? TF leadership gave lip service to the judge's demands, but behind the scenes they continued to create publications that endorsed adult/child sex. They told the judge that they had renounced certain doctrines, but their internal pubs showed just the opposite. Read the judgement again and you will see in the conclusion that Ward had alot of "anxiety", to quote his word, about his final decision and wasn't completely convinced that the leopard had indeed changed its spots. Ward was also highly skeptical about the Love Charter and commented to the effect that the so-called rights it contained were really empty rights. It sounds like you bought into TF's propaganda about that judgement.
You say you are just trying to stay objective and are not a Family apologist, but that's how you come across, as many of your responses to Rocky sound similar to official Family responses.
