An apology should be specific. A little research on Seek & Servant at xfamily.org resulted in the following:
"Upon my surrender, I was separated from my family and sent to Seek & servant's Home in Monterrey, Mexico where I endured seven weeks of "obedience and humility training". In the past several years, the Family has institutionalized this concept of "retraining centres" and virtually every major field has its own program of this type where errant teens and adults are sent and subjected to intense emotional and psychological abuse in order to badger them into a place of total submission. In my case, by the end of six weeks, they finally extracted a confession out of me in much the same way communist captors have done to their political prisoners in recent history. There are hundreds and perhaps thousands of other cults which employ similar tactics; but from what I've seen and read I'd venture to say that the COG are among the most brutal." (Rick Dupuy, Watchman's Story, %27s_Story)
Ummm...this couple were never Victor Shepherds? Oh, I see. They only practiced the art of "obedience and humility training."
Rick Dupuy was a flawed and vulnerable person who committed suicide. Watchman left behind a testimony that speaks from the grave. Can we hear a little from Servant as to how he views the specifics of Rick's indictment?
