Last I heard he still is in the Family. He brings a lot of food to Korea. His label is inflated. He was hired by some government agencies to give them info on the North Korean people. It's just a front. People don't really know what he stands for.

Tim is married to a Korean National, I remember playing with his kids at GAFM's circa 1984-1986, Tim, along with his family, were the only family members in Korea for a long time, however I believe Ado and Kanah were with them for a while in 1984-1985. I believe, and please don't quote me on it, that helping hands in Korea was sponsored in or totally in part by the FCF foundation in 1996. I remember Tim as being a quiet, steady character with a deep love for the Korean people.

However this article in Wikipedia could have been written by him or members of the Family and is no way representative of the International Community of Human Rights activists.

Tim along with a few others, are the few people that I wish all the luck in the world, People who are sincerely concerned with the plights of the people in those foregin lands in which they live. If he was involved with Victor training I believe it was at the behest of the cult. I hope Deborah or his son would comment on this.

Anyone who will not at least renounce the cult has no business with the level of self promoting he is involved with. He works hard at keeping a high media profile and I think it is extremely dishonest. Either quietly go about your redeeming good works praying daily for forgiveness for your past misdeeds or put serious energy into fighting the continuation of the group who you know caused so many problems in childrens lives. Don't work so hard at promoting yourself to sainthood status while hiding such things from people. Sorry he sounds like a real scammer to me. He has sites to raise money for his good works, but does not disclose what he has raised, or where it has gone. Name a legitimate charity that operates that way.(reply to this comment

Too bad he had to join the cult. Sounds like a cool guy other than that.(reply to this comment

One of the world's foremost, eh. According to whom? Tim Peters, I should think. There's been discussion on this individual and his 'good works' in N. Korea on this site before, I think, but I can't remember where or when.

Lol, I know, I got a kick out of that too. Rev.Peters one of the world's foremost activists for human rights in North Korea. Suppose it says something for the sorry state of human rights in North Korea. If you scroll down to the end, you'll see that all references are from other ex-family websites or local news articles in which he was featured. Nothing international, unless you consider TIMEasia to be international, and nothing academic or peer reviewed.

Sounds like a slightly grandiose claim to me, probably written by himself or his family. That being said, I think it's great that he's actually doing what the family throughout profess to be doing and doing some good for a change rather than just pretending to. (reply to this comment

Yes, this has been bothering me for some time. He helped run the victor camps in Korea--I have many unpleasant memories of him.

I find it ironic that he is portraying himself as some sort of emancipator when only a few decades earlier he was running, what could only be described as, a child labor-indoctrination camp.

We need more of the articles from xfamily on wikipedia so that we can more easily link them to profiles of people,like tim peters, on wikipedia.

I dont want abusers, like tim peters, to think they can so easily forget their pasts in the cult.

They had victor camps in Korea? I thought Korea was just used for Visa trips.(reply to this comment
