Thank you for your comments. We wonder how much of the website you have actually read before adding your words?

1. We do not condemn a ‘group of people’, we utterly condemn a system that has brought heartache and damage to thousands.

2. All donations are used for legal costs. In typical cult fashion, the Exclusive Brethren attempted to close down this web site. The EB spent over $1 Million and, as you can see, the site is still here. The Administrators of this website are in process of paying off a lawyers fee of over $25,000.

3. Have you walked a mile in an ex-members shoes? Those who wish to leave the cult have to face leaving their wife and family, their job, their family and friends, their only social group and enter a society for which they have no training, university education, work references or social experience (no restauarants, theater, cinema, hotels, vacations, etc …).

Your words: ‘There is no love, mercy and kindness’ certainly apply to the Exclusive Brethren cult – ask anyone who has left them! When you have truly investigated them and reviewed the evidence, you might also ask: ‘Is it true christian spirit?’.

Although you might view our reaction as defensive, you would understand if you had experienced first-hand the damage caused by the Exclusive Brethren hierarchy in their vindictive and cruel attempts to keep their children behind intellectual and societal barricades. We run this site for the children still trapped in the cult – and for their parents and grandparents – some of whom have been unable to see their children / grandchildren for 40 years!

‘Is that true christian spirit’ Nelson?

What I see is some people who have left behaving in the same way they accuse the Exclusives of behaving. With harshness. I have suffered the heartbreak too, but as you say they also have the right to religious freedom.

The more people wallow in the negative and what they have left behind, the harder it is for them to forgive and move on and build a new Christian life.

I am not downplaying the suffering. It is enormous.
However, if those of us who leave consider ourselves to be genuine Christians, then it is our obligation to forgive.

I believe he must be an opportunist politician, because he has continued through his government’s schools funding program to subsidise the Exclusive Brethren. That enables them to continue unabated to inflict their noxious habits on the next generation.

Rudd is passing the buck!
When does the buck stop?
