Well, this part of the post helps it make some sense:

"We know that your abuse came in many forms and it must be very difficult to deal with so many wrongs. Some were sexually abused, some were physically abused, your abuse was in neglect to give you good things you needed, like an education, socialization, safety and security, and a personal family that you could call your own...A family that wouldn’t change by subtracting or adding parents, or splitting up you and your siblings."

I guess the apology is to those whose case it is simply that "your abuse was in neglect to give you good things you needed" as opposed to the sexual and physical...

Curiously, all along during this post I was wondering if the Pangea contingent were just some peons(or "little people" in cult parlance). I was starting to feel guilty, thinking that maybe people were riding some former member of the garden variety (i.e., who had just ignored the abuse and wrapped it in a bundle of faith on the shelf) way too hard. Often the people who are the sorriest for what happened are those with a more sensitive consciensce, not those who hurt most people.

But knowing now, no wonder there was so much agita around this.

Whatever y'all are doing now, from my point of view as a child born in the cult in the early 70's, only Sara Davidito did more than Seek and Secundus to help institutionalize child sex abuse.

What is more, Seek and Secundus, people who learned from you first hand how to implement Berg's paedophilia came and perpetrated on me and kids around me. I am still paying for your fling with this rot.

Someone must have the Family News where your testimony asking about the trials of your kids over jealousy of each other when sharing. For your troubles, Berg sent you "love gifts" while those who suffered at the hands of your trainees went hungry.

It seems you are sorry now. Hopefully there aren't too many like me, but for your post above to seem more than "Paper Agape" would take a lot, to me.

Maybe it just has to be that I will keep paying the rest of my life for the actions of you and your brethren. At any rate, I am just a write-off.

At this point, when looking at an online post, all I can say is (in all irony, heaviness and sorrow):

First go pick up all those feathers.

Sometimes a cigar is so much more than just a cigar.
