Moving On - Children of the Children of God

To be honest I don't want to get into a lot of crap here, I just wanted to know some other peoples opinions on a few things. You see what I never understood is the way that the Family has preached love and helping others. As far as my own personal experience and that of the people I know, the love that we were given both in and while leaving the group was either perverted or none at all. When young people decided to leave (at least at the time) you were basically left to fend for yourself so to speak.

Is that what missionaries are for, to help all the world but forsake their own children and families? Is that the "LOVE OF GOD"? I mean I am now a mother and would not for anything in the world leave my child alone for any religious beliefs nor for any other person as a matter of fact. Family members were in most cases not allowed contact with their relatives and most of us didn't even know our own grandparents. So when we left we couldn't even really count on them, I mean they hardly knew us. Our parents in a normal life would have at least had some savings to help us out or something, but of course they weren't normal. Now that sounds like a bunch of crap to me! I am sorry either you help others or you don't! I do not think that the fact that one is a Christian means that you are only so for the heathen and the lost souls! I believe that you cannot love God and rape a child, it just doesn't match!

Nothing that they say is actually practiced! (NOTHING GOOD AT LEAST, IF THERE IS ANY GOOD) No, I firmly believe that they have helped few and hurt many, as I said a bunch of hypocrites! Their own children are crying out to them for answers every day on this site, for HELP but as far as I can see no one has bothered giving any. This is site available for all to see, so if they really care and blah blah, why don't they come forth? So many lives marked, so many of us who will never get totally over our past no matter how well we do out here. The ghosts and demons of the past will never totally fade away.

SO MUCH FOR HELPING US!! WHY DON'T YOU " FAMILY MEMBERS" DO A BIT LESS OF LOVING JESUS AND A BIT MORE OF LOVING YOUR CHILDREN! WE ARE STILL HERE, WE DO STILL EXIST, AS "GRANDPA" SAID SO MANY TIMES: (TO QUOTE SOMETHING FAMILIAR)

-"GOD HELP YOU"!!!

Well said! All the charity concerts in the World mean nothing if you fail your own.

I was traveling through Texas a few years back, when a Family member came up to my car and showed me a picture of Rosita, Eden, Daniel and myself from back in Mexico. She then asked me to donate some money to "Help save the lost, misguided youth."

The sad thing is, all four of us had long sense left the Cult, and had all had to struggle in various ways to try to get set up. For all that the Family likes to talk about "Saving the World", they have left a trail of lost and messed up lives across the globe. Not just FG's and SG's, but also their "system" relatives. And yet they still brag about all the strangers they've helped. (http://www.thefamily.org)

Like you said, they go on and on about "Loving Jesus", but then turn the cold shoulder to their very own. "For he that loves not his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?"-1 John 2:22

I agree with you completely. A parent's first and primary responsibility is to their own children. All the charitable and noble deeds in the world mean nothing and are, IMO, pure hypocrisy if their own children are not provided for by them. (reply to this comment)

That is what I thought too and that is why I wrote this article, I was wondering how many others had to struggle to get started outside the family. I thought maybe it was just me. I left when I was 16, in a new country (Spain) without speaking the language, without any financial help or support, just started working and had to literaly fend for myself.This is in no way a "poor me" attitude, i just find it so SAD and so FAR from christianity! BY THE WAY I STILL HAVE THE HOPE THAT ONE OF YOU FAMILY MEMBERS WHO I KNOW READ THIS PAGE, WILL HAVE THE GUTS TO SAY SOMETHING!(reply to this comment)
