from Fish Monday, May 02, 2005 - 08:53 (Agree/Disagree?) I think these types of accusations shouldn’t even be posted. I know Mike, he’s a great guy. He has helped, and is currently helping, numerous young people leave the family. Many teens here in Japan can’t speak the language well enough to get a normal job (not to mention their other educational failings) For these teens he is one of the only people who actually tries to help, often much more than their parents. To accuse him of “being a family front” smacks of slander. I wonder who had this bright idea? Vote trailer park!!! (reply to this comment)

from mombasa Monday, May 02, 2005 - 00:56 (Agree/Disagree?) I don't think it's right with what people are trying to do recently with "exposing" the TF. A lot of people have left & are trying to get on with their lives, getting jobs & starting businesses & then to have someone go on the net & accuse them of being part of a cult & maybe ruining their business isn't right. How would you like it if someone were to post your legal name & where you worked for all to see? (reply to this comment)

from shikaka Sunday, May 01, 2005 - 17:21 (Agree/Disagree?) Actually, mate, youre wrong there. Mike is somewhat sympathetic to TF, but none of his proceeds go to them. He's been out for some time, and I dont think he even tithes. I used to work for him when I first left in Japan. (reply to this comment)

From rahowa22 Monday, May 02, 2005, 08:22 (Agree/Disagree?) Havent you just confirmed his point there? hes been out doesnt tithe, has nothing to do with the family. Why try and destroy or hinder his work?(reply to this comment)
