Getting Out : Seeking Justice

From a rat standing on a minature soapbox in the gutter

From one rat to another: Maybe now the Family will start taking things seriously.

I heard through a source that CM Family homes have been advised to get lawyers in preparation for possible “persecution” resulting from recent threats of legal action from The Family’s “enemies”. Recent activity from The Family’s “detractors” on MovingOn.org was mentioned.

Has anyone else heard of this, or anything similar? Or, has this rat been drinking too much sewage to think straight with his eyes bloodshot like Vandari? I just thought this was interesting.

Now... back to the sewer!!

Getting lawyers seems to go against all family tradition.
I find it hard to believe that it would be advised as a flat out general advisory.
The fam has never been big on things like lawyers, doctors and anything politica because thats where they have they`re greatest weaknesses.

But I remember "persecutions" where they did "provision" lawyer services from "contacts." (reply to this comment

Interesting. If true it would seem to be just another part in TF leadership effort to scare the members and to make them believe that this effort is targeting them. Unless it's changed ,here is how this search for lawyers might work: (I know because I was given a similar project when I was in TF in 93') I was 18 years old and was provided with a list of our city's defence lawyers. My job was to cold call every laywer on the list to set up meetings to talk about the possibility of them taking us on as clients in the event of any legal troubles. Their interest in us of course had to be pro-bono. Needless to say we had very little success in this. I was involved in a similar effort in Miami in 92'. The few lawers who would meet with us based only on the first amendment question or on the religious freedom question, had major problems with being involved with us after hearing about the Child Abuse issue or other controversial issues such as our Anti-semetic stance. In absence of a large fee, they had no interest in us whatsoever. So the Tf leadership tells the homes to get lawyers? What for? If those in the homes are just doing their simple missionary work and have never been party to abuse, then why should they waste their time? It is the ABUSERS and TF LEADERSHIP who should be(and I am sure are) hiring council.

If this is true, good luck to them with that. It was extremely difficult for the Family to find a lawyer in the UK custody case, once they understood exactly what they were defending, let alone the expense involved.

They should be scared!

Getting a free lawyer to represent you because of religious persecution is one thing. Finding someone to represent you because you are involved in or have been an advocate or accessory to child abuser is another.

Zerby will end up in protective custody because even the other inmates will want to kill her for her crimes. That will be my reward; seeing all of those pieces of shit with bright orange jumpsuits and big black letters that say "Seperatee", then we party in Vegas on me, or hopefully on them depending on how well things go.

wow! My writing skills just get better and better. Obviously I meant to say "child abuse" not "child abuser". Lucky for me bad-english skills are not a crime....yet.

I'd advise Zerby and Co. to get themselves a good lawyer, they should take their own advice if they know what's good for them...
