>What sort of changes must be made with the family before ex-members could trust the family again?<
I couldn't see the family cnanging without there being a coup from within which would oust MARIA and PETER as leaders, Excommunicate and turn over to authorities their serial pedophiles on record at exer boards including Maria. At least for starters.
> Would you return to the family if it was truly reformed?<
No. I value my independence now. Also my free thinking.
>What do you miss about life in the family?<
If I was younger I might miss the travel, but even then it is different to travel and be independent vs. travel and be on a "mission" where I have to be always aware of "spreading the message" and "VD".
>Is it hard to trust your men won't cheat on you after they shared in the family?<
I think that whether men or women, people who were members for years or who were born into the family are already highly sexualized with training like old doctrines for FG or at the least LJR now for all and the one wife concept still active. So even if it may hurt it might not be looked at as "cheating". It takes time for people to leave and decide what their own values are.
>I know men that left the family and most are cheaters.<
Interesting statement. I know when I left my first relationship was "an open one" meaning I did not feel it was right to feel bad or hinder my wife from having relations with others if she wanted to. It took awhile for me to adopt monogamy though I stayed monogamous to her by choice.
